Abstract

It is well known that there are no geometric invariants of aprojection from 3D to 2D. However, given some modeling assumptionsabout the 3D object, such invariants can be found. The modelingassumptions should be sufficiently strong to enable us to find suchinvariants, but not stronger than necessary. In this paper we findsuch modeling assumptions for general 3D curves under affineprojection. We show, for example, that if one of the two affinecurvatures is known along the 3D curve, the other can be found from thecurve‘s 2D image. We can also derive the point correspondence betweenthe curve and its image. We also deal with point sets and directionvectors.
