AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the challenges of calculating image and object distances for room projection using D and VP points. The user expresses frustration with the complexity of transitioning from 2D images to 3D room dimensions, suggesting that it feels like a reverse mapping process. They mention successfully graphing the situation but remain stuck on determining the length of the room and the necessary distances. The user questions the utility of D and VP points, viewing them as merely intersecting lines without practical application. Further study into 3D mapping is recommended as a potential solution to the problem.

How to graph THIS? [URGENT due tomorrow]

Edit: I have to post another thread, sorry, it's getting too messy :(

*sniff* no ideas anyone? I don't mind what you think, just give me something to think about! hehe

Thanks
 


Obviously images are 2D objects and they want you to "find the length of the room" and things like that which are in 3D. I think from the mathematical point of view it is impossible to go from 2D to 3D. It's like doing reverse of 3D mapping. Maybe as an artist you can visualise and guess what it is.
That's all I can think of. Study 3D mapping further, maybe there is a way.
 


I cracked how to graph it, and yeah they wanted the length of the room which got me stuck. They say from the magnification i calulated earily and assuming the camera used a lens of focal length f with the image projected on the back wall of the room (and the object is on the far wall) and from the plot I made for the D and VP points.

I don't really see the point of having the D and VP points to help, they're just basically lines that intersect in middle of the room and shoots out of the graph! But I need the image distance/objet distance before I can do anything.

Thanks for your thoughts!
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
