问题描述
WebGL 的所有矩阵库都有某种perspective
函数,您可以调用该函数来获取场景的透视矩阵.
例如,,但在这一切之后,我还是有同样的困惑.
让我们看看我能不能解释这个,或者也许你读了这个之后你能想出一个更好的方法来解释它.
首先要意识到的是,WebGL 需要裁剪空间坐标.它们在 x、y 和 z 中变为 -1 <-> +1.因此,透视矩阵基本上设计用于获取视锥体内的空间并将其转换为剪辑空间.
如果你看这张图
我们知道切线 = 在相邻 (z) 上的相反 (y),因此如果我们知道 z,我们就可以计算出对于给定 fovY 位于截锥体边缘的 y.
tan(fovY/2) = y/-z
两边乘以-z
y = tan(fovY/2) * -z
如果我们定义
f = 1/tan(fovY/2)
我们得到
y = -z/f
请注意,我们还没有完成从相机空间到剪辑空间的转换.我们所做的只是在相机空间中给定 z 的视野边缘计算 y.视野的边缘也是裁剪空间的边缘.由于剪辑空间只是 +1 到 -1,我们可以用 -z/f
划分相机空间 y 以获得剪辑空间.
有意义吗?再看图.让我们假设蓝色 z
是 -5 并且对于某些给定的视野 y
出来的是 +2.34
.我们需要将 +2.34
转换为 +1 clipspace.通用版本是
clipY = cameraY * f/-z
看着`makePerspective'
function makePerspective(fieldOfViewInRadians, aspect, near, far) {var f = Math.tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fieldOfViewInRadians);var rangeInv = 1.0/(近 - 远);返回 [f/纵横比, 0, 0, 0,0, f, 0, 0,0, 0, (near + far) * rangeInv, -1,0, 0, Near * far * rangeInv * 2, 0];};
我们可以看到 f
在这种情况下
tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY)
其实是一样的
1/tan(fovY/2)
为什么这么写?我猜是因为如果你有第一种风格并且棕褐色变成 0 你会被 0 除你的程序会崩溃,如果你这样做的话,没有除法所以没有机会除以零.
看到 -1
在 matrix[11]
点意味着我们都完成了
matrix[5] = tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY)矩阵[11] = -1剪辑Y = 相机Y * 矩阵[5]/相机Z * 矩阵[11]
对于 clipX
,我们基本上做了完全相同的计算,除了针对纵横比进行缩放.
matrix[0] = tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY)/aspect矩阵[11] = -1剪辑X = 相机X * 矩阵[0]/相机Z * 矩阵[11]
最后,我们必须将 -zNear <-> -zFar 范围内的 cameraZ 转换为 -1 <-> + 1 范围内的 clipZ.
标准透视矩阵使用 倒数函数 执行此操作,以便 z 值关闭相机获得比远离相机的 z 值更高的分辨率.这个公式是
clipZ = something/cameraZ + 常数
让我们用 s
表示 something
和 c
表示常量.
clipZ = s/cameraZ + c;
并求解s
和c
.在我们的例子中,我们知道
s/-zNear + c = -1s/-zFar + c = 1
所以,把‘c’移到另一边
s/-zNear = -1 - cs/-zFar = 1 - c
乘以-zXXX
s = (-1 - c) * -zNears = ( 1 - c) * -zFar
这两件事现在彼此相等
(-1 - c) * -zNear = (1 - c) * -zFar
扩大数量
(-zNear * -1) - (c * -zNear) = (1 * -zFar) - (c * -zFar)
简化
zNear + c * zNear = -zFar + c * zFar
将 zNear
向右移动
c * zNear = -zFar + c * zFar - zNear
将 c * zFar
向左移动
c * zNear - c * zFar = -zFar - zNear
简化
c * (zNear - zFar) = -(zFar + zNear)
除以(zNear - zFar)
c = -(zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar)
解决s
s = (1 - -((zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar))) * -zFar
简化
s = (1 + ((zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar))) * -zFar
将1
改为(zNear - zFar)
s = ((zNear - zFar + zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar)) * -zFar
简化
s = ((2 * zNear)/(zNear - zFar)) * -zFar
简化一些
s = (2 * zNear * zFar)/(zNear - zFar)
dang 我希望 stackexchange 像他们的数学网站一样支持数学:(
所以回到顶部.我们的论坛是
s/cameraZ + c
我们现在知道s
和c
.
clipZ = (2 * zNear * zFar)/(zNear - zFar)/-cameraZ -(zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar)
让我们把 -z 移到外面
clipZ = ((2 * zNear * zFar)/zNear - ZFar) +(zFar + zNear)/(zNear - zFar) * cameraZ)/-cameraZ
我们可以将 /(zNear - zFar)
改为 * 1/(zNear - zFar)
所以
rangeInv = 1/(zNear - zFar)clipZ = ((2 * zNear * zFar) * rangeInv) +(zFar + zNear) * rangeInv * cameraZ)/-cameraZ
回顾 makeFrustum
我们看到它最终会制作
clipZ = (matrix[10] * cameraZ + matrix[14])/(cameraZ * matrix[11])
看看上面那个适合的公式
rangeInv = 1/(zNear - zFar)矩阵[10] = (zFar + zNear) * rangeInv矩阵[14] = 2 * zNear * zFar * rangeInv矩阵[11] = -1clipZ = (matrix[10] * cameraZ + matrix[14])/(cameraZ * matrix[11])
我希望这是有道理的.注意:其中大部分只是我对 这篇文章.
All matrix libraries for WebGL have some sort of perspective
function that you call to get the perspective matrix for the scene.
For example, the perspective
method within the mat4.js
file that's part of gl-matrix
is coded as such:
mat4.perspective = function (out, fovy, aspect, near, far) {
var f = 1.0 / Math.tan(fovy / 2),
nf = 1 / (near - far);
out[0] = f / aspect;
out[1] = 0;
out[2] = 0;
out[3] = 0;
out[4] = 0;
out[5] = f;
out[6] = 0;
out[7] = 0;
out[8] = 0;
out[9] = 0;
out[10] = (far + near) * nf;
out[11] = -1;
out[12] = 0;
out[13] = 0;
out[14] = (2 * far * near) * nf;
out[15] = 0;
return out;
};
I'm really trying to understand what all the math in this method is actually doing, but I'm tripping up on several points.
For starters, if we have a canvas as follows with an aspect ratio of 4:3, then the aspect
parameter of the method would in fact be 4 / 3
, correct?
I've also noticed that 45° seems like a common field of view. If that's the case, then the fovy
parameter would be π / 4
radians, correct?
With all that said, what is the f
variable in the method short for and what is the purpose of it?
I was trying to envision the actual scenario, and I imagined something like the following:
Thinking like this, I can understand why you divide fovy
by 2
and also why you take the tangent of that ratio, but why is the inverse of that stored in f
? Again, I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what f
really represents.
Next, I get the concept of near
and far
being the clipping points along the z-axis, so that's fine, but if I use the numbers in the picture above (i.e., π / 4
, 4 / 3
, 10
and 100
) and plug them into the perspective
method, then I end up with a matrix like the following:
Where f
is equal to:
So I'm left with the following questions:
- What is
f
? - What does the value assigned to
out[10]
(i.e.,110 / -90
) represent? - What does the
-1
assigned toout[11]
do? - What does the value assigned to
out[14]
(i.e.,2000 / -90
) represent?
Lastly, I should note that I have already read Gregg Tavares's explanation on the perspective matrix, but after all of that, I'm left with the same confusion.
Let's see if I can explain this, or maybe after reading this you can come up with a better way to explain it.
The first thing to realize is WebGL requires clipspace coordinates. They go -1 <-> +1 in x, y, and z. So, a perspective matrix is basically designed to take the space inside the frustum and convert it to clipspace.
If you look at this diagram
we know that tangent = opposite (y) over adjacent(z) so if we know z we can compute y that would be sitting at the edge of the frustum for a given fovY.
tan(fovY / 2) = y / -z
multiply both sides by -z
y = tan(fovY / 2) * -z
if we define
f = 1 / tan(fovY / 2)
we get
y = -z / f
note we haven't done a conversion from cameraspace to clipspace. All we've done is compute y at the edge of the field of view for a given z in cameraspace. The edge of the field of view is also the edge of clipspace. Since clipspace is just +1 to -1 we can just divide a cameraspace y by -z / f
to get clipspace.
Does that make sense? Look at the diagram again. Let's assume that the blue z
was -5 and for some given field of view y
came out to +2.34
. We need to convert +2.34
to +1 clipspace. The generic version of that is
clipY = cameraY * f / -z
Looking at `makePerspective'
function makePerspective(fieldOfViewInRadians, aspect, near, far) {
var f = Math.tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fieldOfViewInRadians);
var rangeInv = 1.0 / (near - far);
return [
f / aspect, 0, 0, 0,
0, f, 0, 0,
0, 0, (near + far) * rangeInv, -1,
0, 0, near * far * rangeInv * 2, 0
];
};
we can see that f
in this case
tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY)
which is actually the same as
1 / tan(fovY / 2)
Why is it written this way? I'm guessing because if you had the first style and tan came out to 0 you'd divide by 0 your program would crash where is if you do it the this way there's no division so no chance for a divide by zero.
Seeing that -1
is in matrix[11]
spot means when we're all done
matrix[5] = tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY)
matrix[11] = -1
clipY = cameraY * matrix[5] / cameraZ * matrix[11]
For clipX
we basically do the exact same calculation except scaled for the aspect ratio.
matrix[0] = tan(Math.PI * 0.5 - 0.5 * fovY) / aspect
matrix[11] = -1
clipX = cameraX * matrix[0] / cameraZ * matrix[11]
Finally we have to convert cameraZ in the -zNear <-> -zFar range to clipZ in the -1 <-> + 1 range.
The standard perspective matrix does this with as reciprocal function so that z values close the the camera get more resolution than z values far from the camera. That formula is
clipZ = something / cameraZ + constant
Let's use s
for something
and c
for constant.
clipZ = s / cameraZ + c;
and solve for s
and c
. In our case we know
s / -zNear + c = -1
s / -zFar + c = 1
So, move the `c' to the other side
s / -zNear = -1 - c
s / -zFar = 1 - c
Multiply by -zXXX
s = (-1 - c) * -zNear
s = ( 1 - c) * -zFar
Those 2 things now equal each other so
(-1 - c) * -zNear = (1 - c) * -zFar
expand the quantities
(-zNear * -1) - (c * -zNear) = (1 * -zFar) - (c * -zFar)
simplify
zNear + c * zNear = -zFar + c * zFar
move zNear
to the right
c * zNear = -zFar + c * zFar - zNear
move c * zFar
to the left
c * zNear - c * zFar = -zFar - zNear
simplify
c * (zNear - zFar) = -(zFar + zNear)
divide by (zNear - zFar)
c = -(zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar)
solve for s
s = (1 - -((zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar))) * -zFar
simplify
s = (1 + ((zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar))) * -zFar
change the 1
to (zNear - zFar)
s = ((zNear - zFar + zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar)) * -zFar
simplify
s = ((2 * zNear) / (zNear - zFar)) * -zFar
simplify some more
s = (2 * zNear * zFar) / (zNear - zFar)
dang I wish stackexchange supported math like their math site does :(
so back to the top. Our forumla was
s / cameraZ + c
And we know s
and c
now.
clipZ = (2 * zNear * zFar) / (zNear - zFar) / -cameraZ -
(zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar)
let's move the -z outside
clipZ = ((2 * zNear * zFar) / zNear - ZFar) +
(zFar + zNear) / (zNear - zFar) * cameraZ) / -cameraZ
we can change / (zNear - zFar)
to * 1 / (zNear - zFar)
so
rangeInv = 1 / (zNear - zFar)
clipZ = ((2 * zNear * zFar) * rangeInv) +
(zFar + zNear) * rangeInv * cameraZ) / -cameraZ
Looking back at makeFrustum
we see it's going to end up making
clipZ = (matrix[10] * cameraZ + matrix[14]) / (cameraZ * matrix[11])
Looking at the formula above that fits
rangeInv = 1 / (zNear - zFar)
matrix[10] = (zFar + zNear) * rangeInv
matrix[14] = 2 * zNear * zFar * rangeInv
matrix[11] = -1
clipZ = (matrix[10] * cameraZ + matrix[14]) / (cameraZ * matrix[11])
I hope that made sense. Note: Most of this is just my re-writing of this article.
