  2. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    The vanishing point theorem is the principal theorem in the science of perspective. It says that the image in a picture plane π of a line L in space, not parallel to the picture, is determined by its intersection with π and its vanishing point. Some authors have used the phrase, "the image of a line includes its vanishing point".

  3. Perspective (graphical) - Wikipedia

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

    How linear or point-projection prospective works: Rays of light travel from the object (cube), through the picture plane, and to the viewer's eye (O). Vanishing points emitting straightly lines coincident with the edges the cube drawn on the picture plane are located at the left and right of the plane. A figure explaining point-projection ...

  4. Picture plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picture_plane

    The horizon frequently features vanishing points of lines appearing parallel in the foreground. The technique for creating a basic two-point perspective drawing, including the sight rays, the picture plane, the left and right vanishing point construction lines, the horizon line, and the ground line

    The strange car-chase movie 'Vanishing Point' has had an equally strange afterlife, as detailed in this new book about the film and its star, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440.

  6. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    For example, lines traced from the eye point at 45° to the picture plane intersect the latter along a circle whose radius is the distance of the eye point from the plane, thus tracing that circle aids the construction of all the vanishing points of 45° lines; in particular, the intersection of that circle with the horizon line consists of two ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_Point_(1971_film)

    Vanishing Point is a 1971 American action film directed by Richard C. Sarafian, starring Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, and Dean Jagger. [3] It focuses on a disaffected ex-policeman and race car driver delivering a muscle car cross-country to California while high on speed ("uppers" in the story), being chased by police, and meeting various characters along the way.

  8. Reverse perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_perspective

    Reverse perspective, also called inverse perspective, [1] inverted perspective, [2] divergent perspective, [3] [4] or Byzantine perspective, [5] is a form of perspective drawing where the objects depicted in a scene are placed between the projective point and the viewing plane.

  9. Horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon

    The point P is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture. If S is another point on the horizon, then it is the vanishing point for all lines parallel to OS. But Brook Taylor (1719) indicated that the horizon plane determined by O and the horizon was like any other plane:
