  • Bridges Conference Paper
    Bridges 2020 Conference Proceedings Dürer Machines Running Back and Forth António Bandeira Araújo Universidade Aberta, Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] Abstract In this workshop we will use Dürer machines, both physical (made of thread) and virtual (made of lines) to create anamorphic illusions of objects made up of simple boxes, these being the building blocks for more complex illusions. We will consider monocular oblique anamorphosis and then anaglyphic anamorphoses, to be seen with red-blue 3D glasses. Introduction In this workshop we will draw optical illusions – anamorphoses – using simple techniques of orthographic projection derived from descriptive geometry. The main part of this workshop will be adequate for anyone over 15 years of age with an interest in visual illusions, but it is especially useful for teachers of perspective and descriptive geometry. In past editions of Bridges and elsewhere at length [1, 6] I have argued that anamorphosis is a more fundamental concept than perspective, and is in fact the basic concept from which all conical perspectives – both linear and curvilinear – are derived, yet in those past Bridges workshops I have used anamorphosis only implicitly, in the creation of fisheye [4] and equirectangular [3] perspectives . This time we will instead focus on a sequence of constructions of the more traditional anamorphoses: the so-called oblique anamorphoses, that is, plane anamorphoses where the object of interest is drawn at a grazing angle to the projection plane. This sequence of constructions has been taught at Univ. Aberta in Portugal since 2013 in several courses to diverse publics; it is currently part of a course for Ph.D.

  • Anamorphosis: Optical Games with Perspective’S Playful Parent
    Anamorphosis: Optical games with Perspective's Playful Parent Ant´onioAra´ujo∗ Abstract We explore conical anamorphosis in several variations and discuss its various constructions, both physical and diagrammatic. While exploring its playful aspect as a form of optical illusion, we argue against the prevalent perception of anamorphosis as a mere amusing derivative of perspective and defend the exact opposite view|that perspective is the derived concept, consisting of plane anamorphosis under arbitrary limitations and ad-hoc alterations. We show how to define vanishing points in the context of anamorphosis in a way that is valid for all anamorphs of the same set. We make brief observations regarding curvilinear perspectives, binocular anamorphoses, and color anamorphoses. Keywords: conical anamorphosis, optical illusion, perspective, curvilinear perspective, cyclorama, panorama, D¨urermachine, color anamorphosis. Introduction It is a common fallacy to assume that something playful is surely shallow. Conversely, a lack of playfulness is often taken for depth. Consider the split between the common views on anamorphosis and perspective: perspective gets all the serious gigs; it's taught at school, works at the architect's firm. What does anamorphosis do? It plays parlour tricks! What a joker! It even has a rather awkward dictionary definition: Anamorphosis: A distorted projection or drawing which appears normal when viewed from a particular point or with a suitable mirror or lens.

  • Perspective As Ideology
    perspective as ideology Perspective, far from being the ‘way that we naturally see’, is a highly constructed set of visual conventions that charges the visual fi eld — in and out of graphic representation occasions — with ideological mandates and presup- positions. Through the ‘instructive’ function of perspectival scenery in popular culture (print, fi lm, photography, etc.), everyday visual perception carries over the habits introduced by graphic convention. Trained to ‘see’ through ideology, perception creates the categories and identities that are readily fi lled in sense encounters, ‘proving’ the ideological basis to be ‘empirically valid’ although the ‘data’ has been ‘fi xed from the start’. It is possible to use Lacan’s L-scheme to recover the forensic pattern of ideological structuring that creates the ‘uncanny’ reversal of cause and effect so that perception appears to ‘endorse’ ideological signifi cations. 1. the cone of vision In the consolidation of ‘rules of perspective’ for application in draughting and painting, the model of the cone of vision was used to demonstrate how visual rays eminating f from the single, fi xed, open eye (binocularity would not work in perspective) could ‘cut’ imagined through an imaginary or actual picture plane to mark the relative position of objects alternative lying beyond. In this way, objects actually did represent accurately the spherical quality observer of the visual fi eld, where ‘straight’ edges appeared to be curved, as they actually were vanishing point on the surface of the retina. Geometric perspective was used to ‘correct’ this curvature and, by projecting parallel straight lines, locate vanishing points that could subsequently $ be used to regulate other lines parallel to the fi rst.

    Projections transform points in n-space to m-space, where m<n. Projection is 'formed' on the view plane (planar geometric projection) rays (projectors) projected from the center of projection pass through each point of the models and intersect projection plane. In 3-D, we map points from 3-space to the projection plane (PP) (image plane) along projectors (viewing rays) emanating from the center of projection (COP): TYPES OF PROJECTION There are two basic types of projections: Perspective – center of projection is located at a finite point in three space Parallel – center of projection is located at infinity, all the projectors are parallel Plane geometric projection Parallel Perspective Orthographic Axonometric Oblique Cavalier Cabinet Trimetric Dimetric Single-point Two-point Three-point Isometric PARALLEL PROJECTION • center of projection infinitely far from view plane • projectors will be parallel to each other • need to define the direction of projection (vector) • 3 sub-types Orthographic - direction of projection is normal to view plane Axonometric – constructed by manipulating object using rotations and translations Oblique - direction of projection not normal to view plane • better for drafting / CAD applications ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS Orthographic projections are drawings where the projectors, the observer or station point remain parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection. Orthographic projections are further subdivided into axonom etric projections and multi-view projections. Effective in technical representation of objects AXONOMETRIC The observer is at infinity & the projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection. A key feature of axonometric projections is that the object is inclined toward the plane of projection showing all three surfaces in one view.

  • Anamorphic Perspective & Illusory Architecture
    Anamorphic Perspective & Illusory Architecture 31.07.2003 11:24 Uhr Anamorphic Perspective & Illusory Architecture ! Dr. Tomás García Salgado, BSArch, MSArch, PhD, UNAMprize, SNIm. Faculty of Architecture, National Autonomus University of México. mailto:[email protected] ! Abstract namorphic perspective can be sometimes quite paradoxical. This is the case with the famous false vault by Andrea Pozzo at Saint Ignatius in Rome. Pozzo himself did not consider this painting as an anamorphic projection, but it is indeed. Pozzo deduced the correct perspective drawing for the large canvas (intelaiautura), but what the observer sees is quite different. This article is divided into three A úterest. The parts that can be read separately depending upon the reader’s in first part gives us an historical review through some treatises related to the subject and some famous masterpieces. The second part deals with the principles that govern anamorphic perspective, considering the basic cases of projection. One of these cases is preúsented in detail in this part. Finally, the third part is devoted to the analysis of the vaults of Sant’Ignazio and Collegio Romano by means of the author’s method, termed Modular Perúspective. For a better understanding of the origin of Saint Ignatius’s vault, we include a brief historical background in order to grasp the idea that Pozzo’s painting is fundamentally an architectural solution instead of a purely pictorial exercise. 1. Historical Background It is quite common to encounter the theme of anamorphic perspective in the standard literature for all types of applications, from portraits to murals and scenography, to architecture itself.

    PHOTOINTERPRETATION AND SMALL SCALE STEREOPLOTTING WITH DIGITALLY RECTIFIED PHOTOGRAPHS WITH GEOMETRICAL CONSTRAINTS1 Gabriele FANGI, Gianluca GAGLIARDINI, Eva Savina MALINVERNI University of Ancona, via Brecce Bianche, 60131 Ancona, Italy Phone: ++39.071.2204742, E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] KEY WORDS: Architectural photogrammetry, self-calibration, rectification, stereoscopy, vanishing points ABSTRACT It is well know that it is possible to use the vanishing point geometry to assess the orientation parameters of the photographic image. Here we propose a numerical or graphical procedure to estimate such parameters, assuming that in the imaged object are present planar surfaces, straight-line edges, and right angles. In addition, by means of the same estimated parameters, it is possible to project the same image onto a selected plane say to rectify the image. The advantages are that non-metric images, taken from archives or books also, provided a good geometry and quality, are suitable for the task. From one side the role of the classical line photogrammetry is taken more and more over by laser scanning, and on the other side, this simplified procedure enables the researcher to use photogrammetric techniques for stereoscopy and interpretation, thematic mapping, research. The convergent non- stereoscopic images rectified with digital photogrammetric techniques, are then made suitable for stereoscopy. In fact the rectification corrects for tilt displacement and not for relief displacement, but it is just relief displacement that enables stereoscopy. Some examples of stereoplotting and photo-interpretation with digitally rectified photographs are shown. 1 INTRODUCTION The possibility to use non-metric images is normally linked to the availability of the control information in the imaged object, usually control points to be input in a bundle adjustment procedure or DLT.

  • Perspective Drawing and Projective Geometry
    Perspective Drawing and Projective Geometry Capstone WeiPing Li The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period (15th century). Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry. Renaissance scholars employed the humanist method in study, and searched for realism and human emotion in art. Humanists asserted "the genius of man ... the unique and extraordinary ability of the human mind." One of the distinguishing features of Renaissance art was its development of highly realistic linear perspective. Giotto di Bondone (1267–1337) is credited with first treating a painting as a window into space, but it was not until the demonstrations of architect Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446) and the subsequent writings of Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) that perspective was formalized as an artistic technique. The development of perspective was part of a wider trend towards realism in the arts and reflecting the general world view of people connected to it. Painting not using Perspective Method: Initial word panel of Psalm Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method used: Masaccio, Trinity Perspective method used Perspective method used: Leonardo Da Vinci: Adoration (unfinished) Perspective method used Donatello: St. George and the Dragon Perspective method used Donatello: The Feast of Herod Perspective method used Donatello: The Feast of Herod Artists such as Masaccio strove to portray the human form realistically, developing techniques to render perspective and light more naturally.
