    The article presents an algorithm to find all projective transformations between two given (rational) parametric curves. It starts with a comprehensive bibliographic summary of previous results which also motivates the practical interest of the problem. \par They start with a simple search for solutions of the coefficients of transformation matrices. Using the structure of such equations the system can be reduced. With the use of standard Computer Algebra software, they present examples of nontrivial degrees in the plane, and low degree in space. Finally, they show examples of the affine transformation case.
