Method Detail

getRay

public abstract void getRay(float x,
                            float y,
                            Point3d origin,
                            Vector3d direction)

Determines the ray which starts at the camera and goes through the specified point on the image plane of the camera.

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate on the image plane

y - the y-coordinate on the image plane

origin - the origin of the ray, in world coordinates

direction - the direction of the ray, in world coordinates

getScaleAt

public abstract float getScaleAt(double x,
                                 double y,
                                 double z)

Computes an estimate for the scaling factor from 3D world coordinates at (x, y, z) to 2D coordinates on the camera plane.

Parameters:

x - x world coordinate

y - y world coordinate

z - z world coordinate

Returns:

scaling factor of camera projection at location

getScaleAt

public abstract float getScaleAt(float z)

Computes an estimate for the scaling factor from view coordinates around a depth of z to 2D coordinates on the camera plane.

Parameters:

z - z view coordinate

Returns:

scaling factor of camera projection at location

getWorldToViewTransformation

public abstract Matrix4d getWorldToViewTransformation()

Returns the world-to-view transformation of this camera. It transforms world coordinates to view coordinates (= camera coordinates).

Returns:

world-to-view transformation

getZFar

public abstract float getZFar()

getZNear

public abstract float getZNear()
