Homographic Modeling

Description:

Homographic modeling arose through the process of marking a reference frame with text or simple graphics, where it was noted that by calculating and matching homographies of the plane, an illusory rigid planar patch appeared to hover upon objects in the real-world, giving rise to a form of computer-mediated reality. Note that the message is sent right away, but “lives dormant on the recipient's special glasses until an image of the desired planar surface “wakes up the message, at which point it appears in frames that lie within the same orbit of the projective group of coordinate transformations in which it was placed.
