Homography

A homography is the mathematical mapping that converts the photographed slab face from image space into a flat metric plane.

What it means#

In slab capture, a homography maps points from the camera image to the real flat plane of the slab face. It is what lets a detected outline become a metric polygon instead of just pixels.

Why buyers care#

Without a valid homography, a remote listing should not claim millimetre dimensions. The measurement system needs a trustworthy scale reference on the slab face.

What to check#

Look for the precision badge, marker count, capture setup, and whether the listing reports a metric outline rather than only a photo.
