//: Perspective projection transformation
// This is a perspective projection from a 3D cartesian coordinate system to a
// 2D cartesian coordinate system, parametrized by the focal expressed in
// meters. The projection is along the z axis. The center of the projection is
// the origin of the 3D frame. The projection plane is in the half-space z<0.
