    Illustration of Hinge rule and Scheimpflug principle in joint action
    Schematic of Scheimpflug camera's depth-of-field
    Schematic of calibration principle of general imaging model[42]. (a) Camera as black box, with one pixel and its camera ray; (b) pixel sees a point on a calibration object, whose coordinates are identified in a frame associated with the object; (c) same as (b) for another position of the calibration object; (d) if the object's motion is known, the two points on the calibration object can be placed in the same coordinate frame here the same one as in (c) the camera ray is then determined by joini
