Now, with the image matching method that I developed, I compute 8
parameters in 3D space :

	Tx : translation along the x axis
	Ty : translation along the y axis
	Tz : translation along the z axis
	Rx : pitch angle along the x axis
	Ry : yaw angle along the y axis
	Rz : roll angle along the z axis
	Sx : skew angle along the x axis
	Sy : skew angle along the y axis

To render the computed projective transform I use the POV-Ray code :
"
     matrix < 1 , 0, 0,
          atan(Sx*3.141592654/180.0), 1, 0,
           0 , 0, 1,
           0 , 0, 0 >
     matrix < 1,atan(Sy*3.141592654/180.0),  0,
          0,  1,  0,
          0,  0,  1,
          0,  0,  0 >
     rotate <Rx,Ry,Rz>
     translate <Tx,Ty,Tz>
"
<Tx,Ty,Tz> are expressed in pixels. <Rx,Ry,Rz> and <Sx,Sy> are expressed
in degrees. This gives the following result following head's movement :

The interest with the method, is to evaluate large movements. It works !

Thanks for your help,

Best regards,
