| Homogeneous coordinates is a form of coordinate representation that allows geometric transformations to be treated in a uniform way. The homogeneous representation of a point includes an extra coordinate in addition to its Cartesian coordinates. A two dimensional point is represented in homogeneous coordinates by three values, x, y, and w, and a three dimensional point by four. | |||||
