I'm looking for an algorithm for 2D perspective transform.
I need to "stretch" a quad to a rect and I need a matrix that converts the coordinates.

I've found some code in GIMP, but I can't get it work.
Do you know any source or documentation on the web?
Thank you!

[Nils Pipenbrinck]

Yes, I've done that.. It's not that difficult but you don't find many sources or information how to do it on the net.


I'll write and post a source that does the de-stretching (e.g. from quad to rectangle) in OpenGL to show it later..

Sounds like a scale matrix.. If you really mean a rect that is.

No, going from an arbitrary convex quad to a rectangle is not a simple scaling.

You need a 3*3 projective matrix. I'm not really into the mood to write code anymore, but I've looked for the relevant paper:

http://torus.untergr...age_warping.pdf

You find a simple implementation of the math in the OpenVG reference implementation. The function is called vguComputeWarpQuadToSquare

The code can be downloaded from the khronos.org site somewhere on the OpenVG page.

Cheers,

Thank you Nils, it works!
I wrote the code by myself, reading the excellent paper.
