Abstract. In this paper a mathematical model and a computer program for stereometric projection of 3D and 4D objects in curvilinear (hyperboloid and paraboloid) projective spaces are presented. The aim of this projection is a realistic presentation of objects in the human surrounding. This means that the presented objects should not be different from the real ones. In reality the objects are projected on the retina of the eye mechanism. The retina does not have a regular geometric shape. The shape of the retina could be approximated with a hyperboloid or paraboloid surface. The way to the realistic visual presentation of objects is the stereometrical projection in the curvilinear projective space. Stereometricaly projected objects in various projective spaces presented on two-dimensional plane (paper, monitor) are received by optical apparatus (stereoscope, glasses).

STEREOMETRIJSKO PROJEKTOVANJE 3D I 4D OBJEKATA U KRIVOLINIJSKIM PROJEKTIVNIM PROSTORIMA
Urađen je matematički model i kompjuterski program za stereometrijsko projektovanje 3D i 4D objekata u cilindričnom, sferičnom, elipsoidnom, hiperboloidnom i paraboloidnom projektivnom prostoru. Cilj spomenutog projektovanja je realno pretstavlanje objekata iz čovekove okoline. To podrazumeva da se pretstavljeni objekti ne razlikuju od realnih. Objekti se projektuju na mrežnici očnog mehanizma. Mrežnice nemaju pravilnu geometrijsku formu, mogu se aproksimirati sa cilindričnom, sferičnom, elipsoidnom, hiperboloidnom ili paraboloidnom površinom. Znači jedini način realnog vizuelnog prikazivanja je stereometrijsko projektovanje u jednom od krivolinijskih projektivnih prostora. Da bi se dobila tri dimenziona pretstava, stereometrijski projektovani objekti u raznim projektivnim prostorima prezentovani na dvodimenzionoj ravnini (hartija, ekran) uočavaju se pomoću optičkih aparata (stereoskop, naočara).
Ključne reči: stereometrija, krivolinijski (elipsoidan, hiperboloidan, paraboloidan) projektivni prostor.
