Abstract

Cauchy distributions are characterized as the unique class of continuous distributions invariant to projective transformations, and this result naturally extends to the vector- and matrix-valued cases. We introduce a parameterization of Cauchy distributions that leads to elementary formulae for the parameters of projectively transformed matrix-valued Cauchy random variables, and illustrate an application of this result to the classical computer-vision problem of triangulation.
