Projective geometry

Oriented projective geometry

Oriented projective geometry is an oriented version of real projective geometry. Whereas the real projective plane describes the set of all unoriented lines through the origin in R3, the oriented projective plane describes lines with a given orientation. There are applications in computer graphics and computer vision where it is necessary to distinguish between rays light being emitted or absorbed by a point. Elements in an oriented projective space are defined using signed homogeneous coordinates. Let be the set of elements of excluding the origin. 1. * Oriented projective line, : , with the equivalence relation for all . 2. * Oriented projective plane, : , with for all . These spaces can be viewed as extensions of euclidean space. can be viewed as the union of two copies of , the sets (x,1) and (x,-1), plus two additional points at infinity, (1,0) and (-1,0). Likewise can be viewed as two copies of , (x,y,1) and (x,y,-1), plus one copy of (x,y,0). An alternative way to view the spaces is as points on the circle or sphere, given by the points (x,y,w) with x2+y2+w2=1. (Wikipedia).

The projective line can be given a Euclidean structure, just as the affine line can, but it is a bit more complicated. The algebraic structure of this projective line supports some symmetries. Symmetry in mathematics is often most efficiently encoded with the idea of a group--a technical t

Projective geometry | Math History | NJ Wildberger

Projective geometry began with the work of Pappus, but was developed primarily by Desargues, with an important contribution by Pascal. Projective geometry is the geometry of the straightedge, and it is the simplest and most fundamental geometry. We describe the important insights of the 19
