General Camera Matrix
Given the mapping produced by a normalized camera matrix, the resulting normalized image coordinates can be transformed by means of an arbitrary 2D homography. This includes 2D translations and rotations as well as scaling (isotropic and anisotropic) but also general 2D perspective transformations. Such a transformation can be represented as a matrix which maps the homogeneous normalized image coordinates to the homogeneous transformed image coordinates :
Inserting the above expression for the normalized image coordinates in terms of the 3D coordinates gives
This produces the most general form of camera matrix

Famous quotes containing the words general, camera and/or matrix:
“Women born at the turn of the century have been conditioned not to speak openly of their wedding nights. Of other nights in bed with other men they speak not at all. Today a woman having bedded with a great general feels free to tell us that in bed the general could not present arms. Women of my generation would have spared the great general the revelation of this failure.”
—Jessamyn West (1907–1984)
“The camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.”
—Salvador Minuchin (20th century)
