In OpenGL, the camera matrix is a 4x4 matrix. Is the camera matrix in OpenCV a 4x4 matrix as well?

The following is the code needed to make a very simple camera matrix. Compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 and higher. See the camera matrix applied in the full code https://github.com/sjhalayka/blind_poker:

float projection_modelview_mat[16];

init_perspective_camera(y_fov_degrees,
                        static_cast<float>(screen_width)/static_cast<float>(screen_height),
                        0.01f, 2.0f, // Z near, far distances.
                        0, 0, 1, // Camera position.
                        0, 0, 0, // Look at position.
                        0, 1, 0, // Up direction vector.
                        projection_modelview_mat);

... where ...

void get_perspective_matrix(float fovy, float aspect, float znear, float zfar, float (&mat)[16])
{
    // https://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man2/xhtml/gluPerspective.xml
    const float pi = 4.0f*atanf(1.0);

    // Convert fovy to radians, then divide by 2
    float       f = 1.0f / tan(fovy/360.0*pi);

    mat[0] = f/aspect; mat[4] = 0; mat[8] = 0;                              mat[12] = 0;
    mat[1] = 0;        mat[5] = f; mat[9] = 0;                              mat[13] = 0;
    mat[2] = 0;        mat[6] = 0; mat[10] = (zfar + znear)/(znear - zfar); mat[14] = (2.0f*zfar*znear)/(znear - zfar);
    mat[3] = 0;        mat[7] = 0; mat[11] = -1;                            mat[15] = 0;
}

                        float centrex, float centrey, float centrez,
                        float upx, float upy, float upz,

    vertex_3 f, up, s, u;

    f.x = centrex - eyex;
    f.y = centrey - eyey;
    f.z = centrez - eyez;
    f.normalize();

    up.x = upx;
    up.y = upy;
    up.z = upz;
    up.normalize();

    translate[3] = 0; translate[7] = 0; translate[11] = 0; translate[15] = 1;

Thanks, that is helpful. In fact, there are many helpful blog posts on that blog (as small as it is)!

So the intrinsic camera matrix is 3 rows x 3 columns, and is equivalent to the perspective projection matrix in OpenGL (see get_perspective_matrix() in the code)?

And, the extrinsic camera matrix is 3 rows x 3 columns (http://ksimek.github.io/2012/08/22/ex...), and is equivalent to the modelview matrix in OpenGL (see get_look_at_matrix() in the code)?

Right, or do I have my matrices wrong?

Why aren't the camera matrices 4x4 like in OpenGL, when it apparently takes 4x4 matrices to encode a camera?

It turns out that there is a cv::viz::Camera constructor that takes a 4x4 projection matrix. This means that the OpenCV camera is compatible with the OpenGL camera:
