//: Compute a plane-plane projectivity using 4 point correspondences.
// Returns false if the calculation fails or there are fewer than four point
// matches in the list.
//
// The algorithm determines the transformation $H_i$ from each pointset to the
// canonical projective basis (see the \b ProjectiveBasis2D class), and
// returns the combined transform $H = H_2^{-1} H_1$.
