Abstract

The paper deals with features of a general polygon which are invariant with respect to projective transform. First, some properties of the area of a triangle under projective transform are discussed. New projective triangular invariants of polygons are derived as the quotient of two different products of the areas of the triangles formed by the vertices of the polygon. The features are proved to be invariant to numbering of the vertices of the polygon. The number of projective triangular invariants for polygons with the given number of vertices is discussed. Numerical experiments dealing with three octagons deformed by projective transforms are described.
