GEOMETRIC CMER MODELS The Intrinsic Parameters of a Camera The Extrinsic Parameters of a Camera The General Form of the Perspective Projection Equation Line Geometry Reading: Chapter 1.
Images are two-dimensional patterns of brightness values. Figure from US Navy Manual of asic Optics and Optical Instruments, prepared by ureau of Naval Personnel. Reprinted by Dover Publications, Inc., 1969. They are formed by the projection of 3D objects.
nimal eye: a looonnng time ago. Photographic camera: Niepce, 1816. Pinhole perspective projection: runelleschi, XV th Century. Camera obscura: XVI th Century.
Camera model Relation between pixels and rays in space?
Camera obscura + lens The camera obscura (Latin for 'dark room') is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen (source Wikipedia).

Perspective and art Use of correct perspective projection indicated in 1 st century.c. frescoes Skill resurfaces in Renaissance: artists develop systematic methods to determine perspective projection (around 148 1515) Raphael Durer, 1525 K. Grauman

ffine projection models: Weak perspective projection x' mx y' my where m f ' is the magnification. When the scene distance variation is small compared to its distance from the Camera, m can be taken constant: weak perspective projection.
ffine projection models: Orthographic projection x' y' x y When the camera is at a (roughly constant) distance from the scene, take m=1.
Homogeneous coordinates Is this a linear transformation? no division by is nonlinear Trick: add one more coordinate: homogeneous image coordinates homogeneous scene coordinates Converting from homogeneous coordinates Slide by Steve Seit
Perspective Projection Matrix divide by the third coordinate to convert back to nonhomogeneous coordinates Projection is a matrix multiplication using homogeneous coordinates: ' / 1 ' 1/ 1 1 f y x y x f ) ', ' ( y f x f Slide by Steve Seit Complete mapping from world points to image pixel positions?
Points at infinity, vanishing points Points from infinity represent rays into camera which are close to the optical axis. Image source: wikipedia

Coordinate Changes: Rotations about the k xis R cos sin sin cos 1
rotation matrix is characteried by the following properties: Its inverse is equal to its transpose, and its determinant is equal to 1. Or equivalently: Its rows (or columns) form a right-handed orthonormal coordinate system.
