Second lecture

• Projective 2D transformations (Homographies) of points, lines and conics
• Homography estimation and image rectification
• Hierarchy of transformations (isometries, similarities, affine, homographies)
• Vanishing points
• Parametric lines and Cross Ratio (with exercize)
• Affine reconstruction
• 3D projective geometry: points and planes, quadrics, transformations, vanishing points and lines
• Brief recall to art and usage of vanishing points
• Some videos and images examples
• Image definition, Camera system, Thin lenses approximation, Fresnel law, depth of field
• Pin hole model, Intrinsic camera matrix
• Extra exercises with cross ratio
