  2. Projection (linear algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(linear_algebra)

    A square matrix is called a projection matrix if it is equal to its square, i.e. if =. [2]: p. 38 A square matrix is called an orthogonal projection matrix if = = for a real matrix, and respectively = = for a complex matrix, where denotes the transpose of and denotes the adjoint or Hermitian transpose of .

  3. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The projection of a onto b is often written as ⁡ or a ∥b. The vector component or vector resolute of a perpendicular to b, sometimes also called the vector rejection of a from b (denoted ⁡ or a ⊥b), [1] is the orthogonal projection of a onto the plane (or, in general, hyperplane) that is orthogonal to b.

  4. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  5. Endomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomorphism

    Orthogonal projection onto a line, m, is a linear operator on the plane. This is an example of an endomorphism that is not an automorphism. In mathematics, an endomorphism is a morphism from a mathematical object to itself. An endomorphism that is also an isomorphism is an automorphism.

    The projection of the point C itself is not defined. The projection parallel to a direction D, onto a plane or parallel projection: The image of a point P is the intersection of the plane with the line parallel to D passing through P. See Affine space § Projection for an accurate definition, generalized to any dimension. [citation needed]

  7. 3D projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_projection

    Graphical projection methods rely on the duality between lines and points, whereby two straight lines determine a point while two points determine a straight line. The orthogonal projection of the eye point onto the picture plane is called the principal vanishing point (P.P. in the scheme on the right, from the Italian term punto principale ...

  8. Curve of constant width - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_of_constant_width

    Another equivalent way to define the width of a compact curve or of a convex set is by looking at its orthogonal projection onto a line. In both cases, the projection is a line segment, whose length equals the distance between support lines that are perpendicular to the line. So, a curve or a convex set has constant width when all of its ...

  9. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    Associate to any line through the origin the unique plane through the origin which is perpendicular (orthogonal) to the line. When, in the model, these lines are considered to be the points and the planes the lines of the projective plane PG(2, R ) , this association becomes a correlation (actually a polarity) of the projective plane.
