GetPerspectiveTransform mathematical explanation

Hi guys! I'm doing a course project devoted to perspective transformations. I have a ready opencv function GetPerspectiveTransform that takes my source array CvPoint2D32f srcQuad[4] and gets destination array CvPoint2D32f dstQuad[4] using a matrix of perspective transformation CvMat* warp_matrix = cvCreateMat(3,3,CV_32FC1); But is there a mathematical analogue of this function? I mean can I using some mathematical formulas replace ready function GetPerspectiveTransform? Thank you very much for any assistance.

The function GetPerspectiveTransform calculates the matrix of perspective transformation between srcQuad points and dstQuad points. In other words it calculates coefficients of perspective transformation which maps (xi,yi) to (ui,vi), (i=1,2,3,4):

      c00*xi + c01*yi + c02
 ui = ---------------------
      c20*xi + c21*yi + c22

       c10*xi + c11*yi + c12
  vi = ---------------------
       c20*xi + c21*yi + c22

Coefficients are calculated by solving linear system:

  / x0 y0  1  0  0  0 -x0*u0 -y0*u0 \ /c00\    /u0\
  | x1 y1  1  0  0  0 -x1*u1 -y1*u1 | |c01|    |u1|
  | x2 y2  1  0  0  0 -x2*u2 -y2*u2 | |c02|    |u2|
  | x3 y3  1  0  0  0 -x3*u3 -y3*u3 |.|c10| =  |u3|
  |  0  0  0 x0 y0  1 -x0*v0 -y0*v0 | |c11|    |v0|
  |  0  0  0 x1 y1  1 -x1*v1 -y1*v1 | |c12|    |v1|
  |  0  0  0 x2 y2  1 -x2*v2 -y2*v2 | |c20|    |v2|
  \  0  0  0 x3 y3  1 -x3*v3 -y3*v3 / \c21/    \v3/

where: cij - matrix coefficients, c22 = 1

Hey, do you know any paper where it is explained more specific?

Sorry, but I don't know such paper.
