Projective Transformation

A linear transformation of homogeneous coordinates that maps points between projective spaces. In robotics vision, the camera projection matrix P = K[R|t] is a projective transformation mapping 3D world points to 2D image pixels. Projective transformations preserve straight lines (but not distances or angles) and underlie all perspective camera models.
