Perspective projection
Perspective projection is a type of drawing that graphically approximates on a planar (two-dimensional) surface (e.g. paper) the images of three-dimensional objects so as to approximate actual visual perception. It is sometimes also called perspective view or perspective drawing or simply perspective. A perspective projection drawing must be made according to an established geometric protocol.The following terms are basic to understanding the drawing protocols of a perspective projection.
- Cone of vision
- Picture plane
- Vanishing point
- Station point
- Eye level
- Horizon
- Linear perspective
- Curvilinear perspective
- Reverse perspective
