Study Notes
Oblique Parallel Projections
- Most general parallel projections.
- Projectors are at an arbitrary angle to the projection plane.
- Angles in planes parallel to the projection plane are preserved.
Oblique Projection
- Projectors are not orthogonal to the image plane.
- There are two types of oblique parallel projections: Cavalier and Cabinet.
Cavalier Projection
- The angle between projectors and the projection plane is 45 degrees.
- Lines orthogonal to the projection plane retain their original length.
- Perpendicular faces are projected at full scale.
Cabinet Projection
- The angle between projectors and the projection plane is arctan(2) = 63.4 degrees.
- Lines orthogonal to the projection plane are projected at half their length.
- Perpendicular faces are projected at 50% scale.
- Creates a "foreshortening" effect.
Axonometric Orthographic Projections
- Shows more than one face of an object.
- Most common type is an isometric projection.
- The projection plane intersects each coordinate axis equally.
Axonometric Projection
- Orthographic projections showing more than one side of an object.
- Subcategories of Axonometric Projections include:
- Isometric, Di-metric and Tri-metric.
Isometric Projection
- The direction of projection makes equal angles with all of the principle axes.
- All three axes are equally foreshortened.
Di-metric Projection
- The direction of projection makes equal angles with exactly two of the principle axes.
Tri-metric Projection
- The direction of projection makes unequal angles with all the principle axes.
Perspective vs Parallel Projections
- Perspective Projection:
- Creates a realistic visual effect similar to the human vision system.
- Objects appear smaller with increasing distance from the center of projection.
- Parallel Projection:
- Preserves relative proportions of the object.
- Less realistic due to no foreshortening.
Parallel Projection
- Coordinate positions are transformed to the view plane along parallel lines.
- Projection lines are parallel to each other.
- Projection lines are extended from the object and intersect the view plane.
Two Types of Parallel Projections:
- Orthographic Projection:
- Projection is perpendicular to the view plane.
- Oblique Projection:
- Projection is not perpendicular to the view plane.
Orthographic (or orthogonal) Projections
- Front, side, and rear orthographic projections of an object are called elevations.
- The top orthographic projection is called a plan view.
- All have a projection plane perpendicular to a principal axis.
- Lengths and angles can be depicted and measured accurately.
- Commonly used in engineering and architectural drawings.
Multi-View Orthographic Projections
- Shows only one side of an object.
- A direction of projection, parallel to a principal axis, produces front, top, and side views.
Oblique Projection
- Projection lines are parallel to each other but not perpendicular to the view plane.
- Two types: Cavalier and Cabinet.
- Cavalier: Projection lines make a 30-degree angle, no change in length of projection.
- Cabinet: Projection lines make a 45-degree angle, length of projected lines is reduced.
Perspective Projections
- Characterized by:
- A finite distance between the center of projection (CP) and the object.
- Projectors are rays (non-parallel).
- Vanishing points.
- Objects appear smaller as distance from CP (eye of observer) increases.
- Difficult to determine the exact size and shape of the object.
Vanishing Points
- Parallel lines in a 3D object that are not parallel to the projection plane, converge at a vanishing point when projected using perspective transformation equations.
- Parallel lines on the same plane lead to collinear vanishing points. The line is called the horizon for that plane.
Classes of Perspective Projection
- One-Point Perspective
- Two-Point Perspective
- Three-Point Perspective
One-Point Perspective Projection
- Occurs when the projection plane is perpendicular to one of the principle axes.
Two-Point Perspective Projection
- Occurs when the projection plane intersects exactly two of the principle axes.
Three-Point Perspective Projection
- Occurs when the projection plane intersects all three principle axes (x, y, and z).
Types of Perspective Projection
- One-Point Perspective Projection
- Two-Point Perspective Projection
- Three-Point Perspective Projection
Two-Point Perspective Projection
- Often used in architectural, engineering, and industrial design drawings.
Three-Point Perspective Projection
- Less frequently used as it adds little extra realism compared to two-point perspective projection.
