Projection Matrices


Objectives

•Derive projection matrices used forstandard OpenGL projections

•Introduce oblique projections

•Introduce projection normalization


Normalization

•Rather than derive different projectionmatrix for each type of projection

•can convert all projections toorthogonal projections with defaultview volume

•==> can use standard transformationsin pipeline

•==> efficient clipping


Pipeline View

modelviewtransformation

projectiontransformation

perspective division

clipping projection

nonsingular4D → 3D

against default cube 3D → 2D


Notes

•Stay in 4-d homogeneous coordinates throughboth modelview and projectiontransformations Both nonsingular Default to identity matrices (orthogonal view)

•Normalization lets us clip against simple cuberegardless of type of projection

•Delay final projection until end Important for hidden-surface removal to retain depth

information as long as possible


OrthogonalNormalization

glOrtho(left,right,bottom,top,near,far)

normalization ⇒ find transformation to convertspecified clipping volume to default


Orthogonal Matrix

•Two steps Move center to origin

T(-(left+right)/2, -(bottom+top)/2,(near+far)/2)) Scale to sides of length 2

S(2/(left-right),2/(top-bottom),2/(near-far))

Final Projection

•Set z = 0•Equivalent to homogeneous coordinatetransformation

•Hence, general orthogonal projection in 4Dis

Oblique Projections

•OpenGL projection functions cannot producegeneral parallel projections such as

•However if look at example of cubeappears that cube sheared

•==> Oblique Projection =Shear + Orthogonal Projection

Equivalency


Effect on Clipping

•Projection matrix P = STH transformsoriginal clipping volume to defaultclipping volume

Simple Perspective

Consider simple perspective: COP at origin,near clipping plane at z = -1, and 90 degreefield of view determined by planes

x = ±z, y = ±z


Perspective Matrices

Simple projection matrix inhomogeneous coordinates

Note: this matrix is independent of farclipping plane

Normalization andHidden-Surface Removal

•Selection of form of perspective matrices mayappear somewhat arbitrary

•But chosen so that if z1 > z2 in original clippingvolume ==> for transformed points z1’ > z2’

•==> hidden surface removal works if first applynormalization transformation

•However, formula z’’ = -(α + β/z) ==> distances distortedby normalization

•==> can cause numerical problems•especially if near distance is small


OpenGL Perspective

•glFrustum allows for non-symmetricviewing frustum (althoughgluPerspective does not)


OpenGL Perspective Matrix

•Normalization in glFrustum requires

•initial shear to form right viewingpyramid

•followed by scaling to get normalizedperspective volume

•Finally, perspective matrix results inneeding only final orthogonaltransformation P = NSH

our previously defined perspective matrix

shear and scale


Why do it this way?

•Normalization allows for singlepipeline

•for both perspective and orthogonalviewing

•Stay in 4-d homogeneous coordinatesas long as possible

•to retain 3-d information needed forhidden-surface removal and shading

•Simplify clipping
