Hi there,

my name is Apostolos  and I am quite new with computer vision and image 
processing...

My question sounds simple but so far I have not found the right answer. I would 

really appreciate any trial to help me on that!

Problem description:

Given the f (focal length) of a camera , thegeometric size of the detector of 
the camera  and a pixel image which was taken with that camera ,  I want to find

the mapping between pixels coordinates /values (RGB) and the coordinate system 
x,y,z on the surface of the lens of the camera. The type of projection is 
assumed to be "central perspective projection".

Assumptions:
 i) the coordinate system is x,y,z  which considers the projection of the image

onto the surface of the lens shall be of spherical shape (so that the image is 
projected on a sphere.) 

ii) The lens are of "thin" type.
iii) Homogeneous coordinates shall be used.

I would like to do this in Matlab and so far I have looked at all bilt in 
functions there. I would really appreciate any kind of help.
If it is not possible to give a integrated answer there are two things that I 
would like to know in general:

i) What can be found using the focal length and the geometrical size of the 
detector in relation with the mapping.
ii) What is the type of transformation I am looking for?

Thank you very much for your time!
