Projection In Computer Graphics
There are two main types of projections: perspective and parallel. In perspective projection, lines converge to a single point called the center of projection, creating the illusion of depth. In parallel projection, lines remain parallel as they are projected onto the view plane. Perspective projection is more realistic but parallel projection preserves proportions. Perspective projections can be one-point, two-point, or three-point depending on the number of principal vanishing points. Orthographic projections use perpendicular lines while oblique projections are at an angle. Common parallel projections include isometric, dimetric, trimetric, cavalier and cabinet views.

Transform 3D objectson to a 2D plane using projections 2 types of projections Perspective Parallel In parallel projection, coordinate positions are transformed to the view plane along parallel lines. In perspective projection, object position are transformed to the view plane along lines that converge to a point called projection reference point (center of projection) 2

- 6. Perspective v Parallel •Perspective: – visual effect is similar to human visual system... – has 'perspective foreshortening' • size of object varies inversely with distance from the center of projection. Projection of a distant object are smaller than the projection of objects of the same size that are closer to the projection plane. • Parallel: It preserves relative proportion of object. – less realistic view because of no foreshortening – however, parallel lines remain parallel. 6
- 7. Perspective Projections • 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 7
- 8. • When a3D object is projected onto view plane using perspective transformation equations, any set of parallel lines in the object that are not parallel to the projection plane, converge at a vanishing point. – There are an infinite number of vanishing points, depending on how many set of parallel lines there are in the scene. • If a set of lines are parallel to one of the three principle axes, the vanishing point is called an principal vanishing point. – There are at most 3 such points, corresponding to the number of axes cut by the projection plane. 8
- 9. Vanishing points • Certainset of parallel lines appear to meet at a different point – The Vanishing point for this direction • Principal vanishing points are formed by the apparent intersection of lines parallel to one of the three principal x, y, z axes. • The number of principal vanishing points is determined by the number of principal axes intersected by the view plane. • Sets of parallel lines on the same plane lead to collinear vanishing points. – The line is called the horizon for that plane 9

- 12. Two-point perspective projection: –This is often used in architectural, engineering and industrial design drawings. – 12
- 13. Three-point perspective projection •Three-point perspective projection is used less frequently as it adds little extra realism to that offered by two-point perspective projection 13
- 14. Parallel Projections • Wecan define a parallel projection with a projection vector that defines the direction for the projection lines. 2 types: • Orthographic : when the projection is perpendicular to the view plane. In short, – direction of projection = normal to the projection plane. – the projection is perpendicular to the view plane. • Oblique : when the projection is not perpendicular to the view plane. In short, – direction of projection normal to the projection plane. – Not perpendicular. 14
- 15. • Orthographic projection Oblique projection when the projection is when the projection is not perpendicular to the view perpendicular to the view plane plane 15
- 16. Orthographic (or orthogonal)projections: – Front, side and rear orthographic projection of an object are called elevations and the top orthographic projection is called plan view. – all have projection plane perpendicular to a principle axes. – Here length and angles are accurately depicted and measured from the drawing, so engineering and architectural drawings commonly employee this. • However, As only one face of an object is shown, it can be hard to create a mental image of the object, even when several views are available. 16

- 18. Axonometric orthographic projections •Orthographic projections that show more than one face of an object are called axonometric orthographic projections. • The most common axonometric projection is an isometric projection where the projection plane intersects each coordinate axis in the model coordinate system at an equal distance. 18
- 19. • 2 commonoblique parallel projections: Cavalier and Cabinet Cavalier projection: All lines perpendicular to the projection plane are projected with no change in length. 19
- 20. Cabinet projection: – Lines which are perpendicular to the projection plane (viewing surface) are projected at 1 / 2 the length . – This results in foreshortening of the z axis, and provides a more “realistic” view. 20
