Description: Homogenization in computer graphics refers to the process of converting coordinates into homogeneous coordinates, allowing for simpler and more efficient manipulation of 3D graphics. In this context, homogeneous coordinates are a representation system that extends Cartesian coordinates by adding an additional dimension, facilitating transformations such as translation, rotation, and scaling. This approach is fundamental in computer graphics, as it allows for the combination of multiple transformations into a single operation using matrices. By using homogeneous coordinates, points in three-dimensional space can be represented, and situations such as perspective, where depth and relative position of objects are crucial, can also be handled. Homogenization also allows for the representation of points at infinity, which is essential for projecting 3D scenes. In summary, homogenization is a key technique in computer graphics that simplifies the manipulation of complex graphics and improves efficiency in image processing.
