    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.
