Detailed Description

Converting between image and metric coordinates.

ImageMetric is the baseclass for classes that define how points in image coordinates are converted to conditioned frames. For simple systems this will represent the mapping of the image plane to the unit square, but for a fully calibrated camera, for example, this might include corrections for radial lens distortion and other nonlinear effects.

The default implementation in this baseclass simply assumes an identity mapping between the two coordinate systems.

A general convention that is sometimes useful is that points in homogeneous coordinates have been conditioned, while nonhomogeneous primitives remain in image coordinates.
