		Line at Infinity.—The foregoing notion of a point at infinity is a very important one in modern geometry; and we have also to consider the paradoxical statement that in plane geometry, or say as regards the plane, infinity is a right line.
		The theorem of duality as regards plane figures may be thus stated: two figures may correspond to each other in such manner that to each point and line in either figure there correspond in the other figure a line and point respectively.
		We may consider in relation to a curve, not only the line infinity, but also the circular points at infinity; assuming the curve to be real, these present themselves always conjointly; thus a circle is a conic passing through the two circular points, and is thereby distinguished from other conics.

		The branch, whether re-entrant or iiifinite, may have a cusp or cusps, or it may cut itself or another branch, thus having or giving rise to crunodes or double points with distinct real tangents; an acnode, or double point with imaginary tangents, is a branch by itself, it may be considered as an.
		The author considers, not only plane curves, but also cones, or, what is almost the same thing, the spherical curves which are their sections by a concentric sphere.

	Indoor Navigation in Unknown Environments
		The reason why this cue is so important is that, in a projective framework, the common intersection of the images of a set of parallel lines corresponds to the image of a point belonging to the plane at infinity.
		If four points belonging to the plane at infinity in a non-singular configuration can be reliably tracked then the resulting eight linear constraints are enough to determine the homography induced by the plane at infinity in a trivial way.
		Our idea is to use at least four additional linear constraints obtained from the knowledge of at least two sets of parallel lines, in order to constrain H to be the homography induced by the plane at infinity, and thus recover structure and motion under the assumption of rigidity, up to a uniform scaling factor.

		Planes are spheres with infinit radius and lines are circles with infinite radius.
		The classic stereographic projection introduced by Moebius maps the Moebius plane (the x-y-plane projectively close by one point at infinity) onto the unit sphere of 3-space or -one dimension higher- the Moebius space (3-space projectively closed by one point at infinity) onto the unit hypersphere of 4-space.
		An arbitrary sphere or a plane of 3-space denote by S is mapped by stereographic projection onto the intersection of the moebius hypersphere with a hyperplane H. The generalized sterographic projection maps S onto the pole of the hyperplane H with respect to the Moebius Hypersphere.

	GameDev.net - The Theory of Stencil Shadow Volumes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since the far clip plane is at a finite distance from the eye position, the depth-fail technique will almost certainly produce the wrong result when the shadow volume gets clipped at the far plane.
		Once in place, the near clip plane capping of shadow volumes is done at a depth value of 0.05, which is half of the ledge.
		By projecting a far plane all the way to infinity, there is no mathematical chance of the shadow volume being clipped by the far plane when we are rendering the shadow volume.

		Abstract: The modulus constraint is a constraint on the position of the plane at infinity (1) which applies to the problem of self-calibration in the case of constant internals.

		A homogeneous plane is denoted by the row vector (a, b, c, d), where at least one of a, b, c, or d is nonzero.
		If p is a homogeneous plane and v is a homogeneous vertex, then the statement "v lies on plane p" is written mathematically as pv = 0, where pv is normal matrix multiplication.
		If you like to think of normal vectors as vectors instead of as the planes perpendicular to them, let v and n be vectors such that v is perpendicular to n.

	Heesch's Problem
		The Heesch number of a shape in the plane is the maximum number of times that shape can be completely surrounded by copies of itself.
		More formally, if one has a tiling of the plane (a collection of disjoint connected open sets the closures of which cover the plane), the first corona of a tile is the set of all tiles that have a common boundary point with the tile, including the original tile itself.
		Aperiodic tiling seems to act as a barrier to the existence of tiling algorithms, so it is not expected that both of these problems have the same answer.

		Affine 3D reconstruction is performed exactly in the same way as the projective reconstruction, only that in this case the matrix H should be the homography with respect to the plane at infinity, and not a general homography.
		The homography with respect to the plane at infinity is computed from the knowledge of parallel lines: By intersecting parallel lines in each image, one obtains a set of corresponding points which are projections of points on the plane at infinity.
