Geometric Camera Models

Pinhole camera model

The pinhole camera model is a mathematical representation of how a point in 3D space is projected onto the image plane of an ideal pinhole camera. It does not consider distortions or blurring caused by lenses and finite apertures, and it assumes discrete image coordinates. While it can be used as a first approximation, its accuracy decreases towards the edges of the image due to lens distortion effects. However, some effects can be compensated for, making the model useful in computer vision and computer graphics.
