Summary:
We show that a central linear mapping of a projectively embedded Euclidean $n$-space onto a projectively embedded Euclidean $m$-space is decomposable into a central projection followed by a similarity if, and only if, the least singular value of a certain matrix has multiplicity $\ge2m-n+1$. This matrix is arising, by a simple manipulation, from a matrix describing the given mapping in terms of homogeneous Cartesian coordinates.
