  2. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_(graphical)

    Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. [citation needed] [dubious – discuss] Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye.

  3. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    In 5-point perspective the vanishing points are mapped into a circle with 4 vanishing points at the cardinal headings N, W, S, E and one at the circle's origin. A reverse perspective is a drawing with vanishing points that are placed outside the painting with the illusion that they are "in front of" the painting.

  4. Perspectivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspectivity

    This composition is a bijective map of the points of S 2 onto itself which preserves collinear points and is called a perspective collineation (central collineation in more modern terminology). [7] Let φ be a perspective collineation of S 2. Each point of the line of intersection of S 2 and T 2 will be fixed by φ and this line is called the ...

  5. Centrolinead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrolinead

    The link to this ruler can also slide, allowing the angle of the ruler to shift so that it always intersects the vanishing point. To use Nicholson's centrolinead, two lines converging at the vanishing point must already be drawn. Farey's centrolinead uses two hinged support arms and a drawing arm.

  6. Drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing

    Two-point perspective drawing. Linear perspective is a method of portraying objects on a flat surface so that the dimensions shrink with distance. Each set of parallel, straight edges of any object, whether a building or a table, follows lines that eventually converge at a vanishing point.

  7. Picture plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_plane

    In painting, photography, graphical perspective and descriptive geometry, a picture plane is an image plane located between the "eye point" (or oculus) and the object being viewed and is usually coextensive to the material surface of the work.

  8. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    The parallel lines through P.V. (in red) intercept L.O. in the vanishing points Fs and Fq: thus one can draw the projections s′ and q′, and hence also their intersection R′ on R. Perspective projection or perspective transformation is a projection where three-dimensional objects are projected on a picture plane. This has the effect that ...

  9. Real projective line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_projective_line

    Formally, a real projective line P(R) is defined as the set of all one-dimensional linear subspaces of a two-dimensional vector space over the reals. The automorphisms of a real projective line are called projective transformations, homographies, or linear fractional transformations. They form the projective linear group PGL(2, R).
