This paper presents an analytical study for the metric properties of the paraboloidal double projection, i.e. central and orthogonal projections used in the catadioptric camera system. Metric properties have not sufficiently studied in previous treatments of such system. These properties incorporate the determination of the true lengths of projected lines and areas bounded by projected lines. The advantageous main gain of determining metric elements of the paraboloidal double projection is studying distortion analysis and camera calibration, which is considered an essential tool in testing camera accuracy. Also, this may be considered as a significant utility in studying comparison analysis between different cameras projection systems.
