Happy Dec 25
@gerryf How much time would you want to solve this?
Academic Exercise: The parameterization function f(t)=u+vt, is traditionally used to parameterize any two points with a line on [0,1]. u represents the initial point and v represents the final point along the line parameterization.
A smartphone takes a photo that is does not match the actual measurements of a pool table due to lens distortion.
Define a mapping that can be applied to this instance of lens distortion to the ideal view. The numerical data in the landscape view is pixel data from a different viewpoint map.
Generalize that mapping for a photo with a different lens distortion.
Create a function to map the radius of the ball from the ideal view to a proper radius in the smartphone view.
You can share ideas and post your responses.
If anyone struggles with these exercises I will post suggestions on Dec 30.
