Some processes and equations involving the Cartesian system can become very complicated. You can simplify some of these by using Polar coordinates instead. Parabolas are shaped like a U or C.

Change coordinate system so that center of the coordinate system is at pinhole and Z axis is along viewing direction. Perspective projection. The projection equation. Is this equation linear?. Can this equation be represented by a matrix multiplication?.
