  • Perspective Projection
    Transform 3D objects on 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 Perspective Projection 3 Parallel Projection 4 PROJECTIONS PARALLEL PERSPECTIVE (parallel projectors) (converging projectors) One point Oblique Orthographic (one principal (projectors perpendicular (projectors not perpendicular to vanishing point) to view plane) view plane) Two point General (Two principal Multiview Axonometric vanishing point) (view plane parallel (view plane not parallel to Cavalier principal planes) to principal planes) Three point (Three principal Cabinet vanishing point) Isometric Dimetric Trimetric 5 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 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 • When a 3D 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.

  • 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.

  • Anamorphic Projection: Analogical/Digital Algorithms
    Nexus Netw J (2015) 17:253–285 DOI 10.1007/s00004-014-0225-5 RESEARCH Anamorphic Projection: Analogical/Digital Algorithms Francesco Di Paola • Pietro Pedone • Laura Inzerillo • Cettina Santagati Published online: 27 November 2014 Ó Kim Williams Books, Turin 2014 Abstract The study presents the first results of a wider research project dealing with the theme of ‘‘anamorphosis’’, a specific technique of geometric projection of a shape on a surface. Here we investigate how new digital techniques make it possible to simplify the anamorphic applications even in cases of projections on complex surfaces. After a short excursus of the most famous historical and contemporary applications, we propose several possible approaches for managing the geometry of anamorphic curves both in the field of descriptive geometry (by using interactive tools such as Cabrı` and GeoGebra) and during the complex surfaces realization process, from concept design to manufacture, through CNC systems (by adopting generative procedural algorithms elaborated in Grasshopper).
