+
+    Converts points from Euclidean to homogeneous space.
+
+    :param src: Input vector of ``N``-dimensional points.
+
+    :param dst: Output vector of ``N+1``-dimensional points.
+
+The function converts points from Euclidean to homogeneous space by appending 1's to the tuple of point coordinates. That is, each point ``(x1, x2, ..., xn)`` is converted to ``(x1, x2, ..., xn, 1)``.

+    :param src: Input vector of ``N``-dimensional points.

+    :param dst: Output vector of ``N-1``-dimensional points.
+
+The function converts points homogeneous to Euclidean space using perspective projection. That is, each point ``(x1, x2, ... x(n-1), xn)`` is converted to ``(x1/xn, x2/xn, ..., x(n-1)/xn)``. When ``xn=0``, the output point coordinates will be ``(0,0,0,...)``.
