projection-3d-2d v2.0.8

Calculates perspective transformation only from 4 annotated points (6 points for 3D).

Project (transform) point coordinates from 3D to 2D and unproject it back.

Demo

https://infl1ght.github.io/projection-3d-2d/

Features

  • Projecting points from 2D plane to 2D plane
  • Unprojecting points from 2D plane to 2D plane
  • Projecting points from 3D space to 2D plane
  • Unprojecting points from 2D plane to 3D space
  • Сalculating and access to perspective transformation matrix
  • Сalculating and access to inversed perspective transformation matrix
  • Calculating perspective transformation matrix only from known points (without field of view, aspect ratio, etc.)

Installation

Using npm:

npm i --save projection-3d-2d

Using unpkg CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/projection-3d-2d/dist/projection-3d-2d.min.js"></script>

Usage

You can calculate perspective transformations of points in 2 modes: 2D to 2D and 3D to 2D.

2D points to 2D (ProjectionCalculator2d)

If you want to make a perspective transformation of coordinates from plane to plane, use ProjectionCalculator2d. To create a projection calculator, you need to specify 4 points on the plane: their screen coordinates and coordinates in the real world. Of these 4 points, any 3 points must not lie on one straight line.

Common use

import { ProjectionCalculator2d } from 'projection-3d-2d';

const points3d = [
  [0, 0],
  [16.5, 0],
  [16.5, 40],
  [0, 40],
]; 
const points2d = [
  [744, 303],
  [486, 349],
  [223, 197],
  [424, 176],
];
const projectionCalculator = new ProjectionCalculator2d(points3d, points2d);
const unprojectedPoint = projectionCalculator2d.getUnprojectedPoint(somePointScreenCoords);
const projectedPoint = projectionCalculator2d.getProjectedPoint(somePointWorldCoords);

3D points to 2D (ProjectionCalculator3d)

Transformation 3D coordinates to 2D is similar to the previous case, however, to create a projection calculator, you need 6 points, not 4. 2 points must be non-coplanar for others 4. Another difference from the 2D projection calculator - when unprojecting, you must specify the Z coord (height) of point.

Common use

import { ProjectionCalculator3d } from 'projection-3d-2d';
    const points3d = [
      [23.2, 0, 0],
      [23.2, 0, 2.35],
      [28.8, 0, 2.35],
      [28.8, 0, 0],
      [23.2, 68, 0],
      [23.2, 68, 2.35],
    ];
    const points2d = [
      [891, 406],
      [891, 326],
      [1055, 316],
      [1054, 389],
      [468, 266],
      [468, 242],
    ];
    const projectionCalculator3d = new ProjectionCalculator3d(points3d, points2d);
    const height = 2.36;
    const unprojectedPoint = projectionCalculator3d.getUnprojectedPoint(somePointScreenCoords, height);
    const projectedPoint = projectionCalculator3d.getProjectedPoint(somePointWorldCoords);

Example 2D to 2D

For example, let's take the penalty area of a football field: we know its dimensions and, accordingly, we know the coordinates of 4 points. After creating the projection calculator, we can calculate the coordinates of all the players on the field. The reverse operation is also available: it is possible to calculate the screen coordinates of any points in the field. This allows a grid to be drawn on the screen. Example image

import { ProjectionCalculator2d } from 'projection-3d-2d';

const points3d = [ // Coordinates of penalty area points
  [0, 0],
  [16.5, 0],
  [16.5, 40],
  [0, 40],
]; 
const points2d = [ // Coordinates of the same points on screen
  [744, 303],
  [486, 349],
  [223, 197],
  [424, 176],
];
const projectionCalculator = new ProjectionCalculator2d(points3d, points2d); 

const goalkeeperCoords = projectionCalculator.getUnprojectedPoint([517, 227]); // Let's find coords of the goalkeeper
console.log(goalkeeperCoords); // [2.1288063865612386, 21.613738879640383] - the goalkeeper two meters away from the end line

const penaltyPointScreenCoords = projectionCalculator.getProjectedPoint([11, 20]); // Find the coordinates of the penalty point on the screen
console.log(penaltyPointScreenCoords); // [409.6322780579693, 247.83730935164368]

// Access to transformation matrix:
console.log(projectionCalculator.resultMatrix); 
// Matrix(3) [
//  [ -18.7618522018522, -3.522289674289675, 744 ],
//  [ 0.5434435834435838, -1.31632778932779, 303 ],
//  [ -0.006431046431046427, 0.010560637560637558, 1 ],
//  rows: 3,
//  columns: 3
//]

// Access to inversed transformation matrix:
console.log(projectionCalculator.resultMatrixInversed); 
// Matrix(3) [
//  [ -0.04936726859836615, 0.12438996812186748, -0.9609125037414228 ],
//  [ -0.027240978581837424, -0.15278635813291436, 66.56155457916007 ],
