3D homogenous coordinates versus 4D homogenous coordinates

We know that any 2D point $(x, y) $which represents as 3D homogeneous coordinates is of the form $(x, y, 1)$ which is the points of projective plane $P^2.$ If I use the same concepts for 3D points $(...

$(x, y, 1)$ is 2D homogenous coordinates or 3D homogenous coordinates?

We know that $(x, y, 1)$ are the homogenous coordinates of a 2D point $(x, y)$. $(x, y, 1)$ has 2 degrees of freedom. That's why we should call it 2D homogenous coordinates. But many websites say it's ...

Finding a texture pixel (X,Y) on a Sphere

I'm using three.js combined with face recognition, I want to rotate a sphere that displays my input video according to the detected eye location, the face recognition gives me a X,Y on the texture ...

Existence of vanishing point

Consider the following example of perspective projection: I have one railway track with two parallel lines meeting at the point $X$ at infinity which is the theoretical approach. This X is called the ...

3D shearing w. r. t $x$-axis [closed]

Shearing in $X$ axis is achieved by using the following shearing equations- $X_{new} = X_{old}, Y_{new} = Y_{old} + Sh_y × X_{old}, Z_{new} = Z_{old} + Sh_z × X_{old}.$ My question is during $Y_{new}...

Difference between 2D and 3D pipeline

2D transformation and viewing: The camera projects the 2D world co-ordinate $(x_w, y_w)$ on its projection plane which co-ordinates $(x_v, y_v)$. 3D transformation and viewing: The camera projects the ...

Parallel projection is special case of perspective projection

I synchronized with @David k's first and second answer regarding perspective and parallel projection. From the first question I understand that the image on the screen is typically described in ...

Difference between transformation and projection? [closed]

We know that world coordinates $(x_w, y_w)$ transform to viewport coordinates $(x_v, y_v)$ which are the physical device coordinates. And during projection, any point $(x, y, z)$ projects to $(x, y)$ ...

Why shearing coefficients multiplying by y? [closed]

We know that shear is transformation that distorts the shape of the object. Shear relative to X-axis that is $y=0$ line can be written as: $x'=x+sh_x.y, y'=y$ My question is why $sh_x$ is multiplying ...

Why are vanishing point and centre of projection the same [closed]

We know that in perspective projection object positions are transformed to the view plane along lines that converge to the projection reference (center) point like this: But many websites say that COP(...

What should be considered the origin of a ray used for object picking with perspective projection

I need to create a ray to pick objects in 3d environment using cursor. I'm not going to go into detailed math for this question. There's tons of information on that. In short terms, for orthogonal ...

How does 3D graphic software adjust for distortion inherent in perspective projection?

As this question and its answers point out, projecting a sphere on a flat picture plane, with perspective projection, may result in a ellipse, not a circle, and my understanding is that the only way a ...
