Perspective Projection

Perspective projection involves projecting an object onto a plane using rays from a center of projection to create the illusion of depth and distance. There are three main types of perspective projection: one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective, depending on how many principal axes intersect the projection plane at vanishing points. Perspective projection aims to create the most realistic representations of objects but can be difficult to execute precisely due to the complex geometry involved.

Perspective Projection

Perspective Projection Characteristics

Center of Projection (CP) is a finite distance from object Projectors are rays (i.e., non-parallel) Vanishing points Objects appear smaller as distance from CP (eye of observer) increases Difficult to determine exact size and shape of object Most realistic, difficult to execute

Perspective Sketch
Horizon observers eye level Ground Line plane on which object rests Vanishing point position on horizon where depth projectors converge Projection plane plane upon which object is projected

Classes of Perspective Projection


One-Point Perspective Two-Point Perspective Three-Point Perspective

View from Above

Vanishing Points
Object edges parallel to projection plane remain parallel in a perspective projection Object edges not parallel to projection plane converge to a single point in a perspective projection vanishing point (vp) Vanishing point of a principal axis principal vanishing point (pvp)

One-Point Perspective
One principal axis cuts projection plane one principal vanishing point

object

Projection plane parallel to one principal plane

Two-Point Perspective
Two principal axes cut projection plane two principal vanishing points

object

Projection plane parallel to one principal axis

Three-Point Perspective
Three principal axes cut projection plane three principal vanishing points

Lateral Movement of CP

Varying Distance from CP

Projection Plane Location


Size of projected image depends upon location of projection plane with respect to object

Vanishing Points Revisited


A vanishing point is found by passing a line through the center of projection, parallel to a set of parallel object edges. The point where the line pierces the projection plane is the vanishing point.
