    Study Notes

    Homogeneous Coordinates

    • A 2D translation can be represented as a 3x3 matrix using homogeneous coordinates.
    • Each 2x2 matrix from Chapter 2 corresponds to a 3x3 matrix with the same effect for homogeneous coordinates, with a 1 in the lower right-hand corner.

    Advantages of Homogeneous Coordinates

    • Allow translations to be represented as matrices.
    • Enable the representation of points with very large coordinates.
    • Make it possible to show points at infinity and transform 3D drawings into perspective drawings to create an illusion of depth.

    Projectivities

    • A projectivity is a transformation that preserves lines and collinearity.
    • The intersection of the cross joins of all pairs of corresponding points determines a third line called the axis of projectivity or axis of homology.
    • The axis of projectivity is unique and contains the intersection of the cross joins of all pairs of corresponding points.

    Theorem 4.2.4

    • A projectivity between two sets of points on two distinct lines determines a third line called the axis of projectivity.
    • The axis of projectivity contains the intersection of the cross joins of all pairs of corresponding points.

    Duality

    • The duals of the theorems presented in this section are interesting in their own right.
    • The proofs given depend on the concept of duality, even though the theorems could be proved directly.

    Theorem 4.2.5

    • A projectivity between the sets of lines on two points in a plane is determined by three concurrent lines and their images.

    Theorem 4.2.6

    • A projectivity between two sets of lines on two distinct points determines a third point, called the center of projectivity or center of homology, that lies on the joins of the cross intersections of corresponding lines.

    Center of Projectivity

    • The center of projectivity can be used to construct additional pairs of corresponding lines in a projectivity.

    Homogeneous Coordinates and Projective Geometry

    • The Cartesian coordinate system of ordinary analytic geometry is not sufficient for projective geometry, as it includes ideal points.
    • A more general system of coordinates, called homogeneous coordinates, is needed to include ideal points.

    Relationship Between Coordinate Systems

    • The two systems of coordinates are related, but homogeneous coordinates are needed to distinguish among an infinite number of ideal points.

    Defining Homogeneous Coordinates

    • Homogeneous coordinates must be defined in a way that distinguishes among an infinite number of ideal points and does not require any restrictions in the way these points are handled.

    Harmonic Conjugate

    • The harmonic conjugate of a point with respect to two other points can be calculated using homogeneous coordinates.
    • The truth of this assertion can be explained using the notation of Figure 7.37.

    Cross Ratio

    • The cross ratio of four collinear points is a number that can be calculated using homogeneous coordinates.
    • The cross ratio is a generalization of the concept of harmonic set.
