First, $W_Y$ (Z-up to Y-up): + - We need to convert the world coordinates BEFORE applying the camera transform + - Because your original extrinsic matrix $E$ was defined in Z-up world coordinates + - If we didn't do this first, the camera transform would be applied in the wrong coordinate system + +2. Then, $E$ (your extrinsic matrix): + - This transforms points from the (now Y-up) world space into camera space + - The camera space at this point is still in OpenCV convention + +3. Finally, $C_{GL}$ (OpenCV to OpenGL): + - This converts the camera space from OpenCV convention to OpenGL convention + - It must be applied AFTER the camera transform because it's converting the camera's view space + - If we applied it before, we'd be incorrectly modifying the world coordinates + +Think about it like this: +1. We first need to fix the world coordinate system to match Three.js ($W_Y$) +2. Then we can apply your camera's view of this world ($E$) +3. Finally, we adapt how the camera "sees" to match OpenGL conventions ($C_{GL}$) + +If we did it in a different order: +- Applying $C_{GL}$ before $E$ would incorrectly transform the world coordinates instead of the camera space +- Applying $W_Y$ after $E$ would transform the camera space instead of the world coordinates +- The transformations would effectively be applied to the wrong spaces + +The inversion at the end ($^{-1}$) is needed because Three.js expects camera-to-world transforms rather than world-to-camera transforms. + +Ah yes, you're absolutely right!
