Möbius photogrammetry (Q895708)

The present paper deals with the problem of reconstructing a vector of points in three-dimensional space starting from its orthogonal parallel projections called, \textit{Möbius photogrammetry}. The authors are motivated by results on the mobility of mechanical devices called pentapods. The group of \textit{Möbius transformations} is considered and a definition of the \textit{Möbius camera} and its properties are given. The presented theory is applied to get necessary conditions for mobility of pentapods.
