Fundamental difficulties with projective normalization of planar curves
In this paper projective normalization and projective invariants of planar curves are discussed. It is shown that there exists continuous affine invariants. It is shown that many curves can be projected arbitrarily close to a circle in a strengthened Hausdorff metric. This does not infer any limitations on projective invariants, but it is clear that projective normalization by maximizing compactne
