Mirror and point symmetry under perspective skewing

Over recent years, symmetry research has shifted from the detection of affinely to perspectively skewed mirror symmetry. Also, links between invariance research and symmetry-specific geometric constraints have been established. The paper aims to contribute to both strands. Several sets of symmetry specific invariants are derived, that can be used in different situations, depending on the a priori assumptions made. It is also argued that all the results directly apply to the case of perspectively skewed point symmetry.
