Abstract
One of the main functions of prisms is that of image reorientation. In designing a prism to produce an image with a particular orientation, most researchers use the trial-and-error method proposed by Smith (p. 100 of [1]), in which a pencil oriented in the pose of the object is used to approach the reflecting surface such that the pencil striking and rebounding from the surface allows the simulation of the image orientation (Fig. 10.1).
