Viewing and Projection
• Camera Analogy:
1. Set up your tripod and point the camera at
the scene (viewing transformation).
2. Arrange the scene to be photographed into
the desired composition (modeling transformation).
3. Choose a camera lens or adjust the zoom
(projection transformation).
4. Determine how large you want the final
photograph to be - for example, you might
want it enlarged (viewport transformation).

Projections
• Our 3-D scenes are all specified in 3-D world coordinates
• To display these we need to generate a 2-D image - project
objects onto a picture plane
• So how do we figure out these projections?

Projections
• Projection is just one part of the process of converting from
3-D world coordinates to a 2-D image

Projections
• There are two broad classes of projection:
– Parallel: Typically used for architectural and engineering
drawings
– Perspective: Realistic looking and used in computer graphics
Perspective Projection Parallel Projection

Classical viewing
Viewing requires three basic elements
• One or more objects
• A viewer with a projection surface
• Projectors that go from the object(s) to the projection surface
Classical views are based on the relationship among these
elements
• The viewer picks up the object and orients it how she would
like to see it
Each object is assumed to constructed from flat principal
faces
• Buildings, polyhedra, manufactured objects

Perspective Projections
• Perspective projections are much more realistic than parallel
projections and are used by artists.

Professor, LPU.
• Perspective projections are described by
– Centre of projection: Eye of artists or lens of camera
– View Plane: Plane containing canvas or film strip or frame buffer
• A ray called projector is drawn from COP to object point, its
intersection with view plane determines the projected image
point on view plane.

Perspective Projection
Professor, LPU.

Parallel Projections
Professor, LPU.

Professor, LPU.
• There are a number of different kinds of perspective views
• The most common are one-point and two point perspectives

Professor, LPU.
• Perspective drawings are characterised by
1. Perspective foreshortening
2. Vanishing points
3. View Confusion
4. Topological Distortion
– These are also known as Perspective Anomalies.
– These anomalies enhance realism in terms of depth cues, but
distorts the actual size, shape and relationship between parts
of object.

Professor, LPU.
1. Perspective foreshortening: an illusion that objects and
lengths appear smaller as their distance form COP increases.
– We can see three balls have different dimensions, since
they placed at different distances they are projected to
same length
COP(0,0,-d)
Z-axis
Y-axis

Professor, LPU.
• Increasing the field of view angle increases the height of the
view plane and so increases foreshortening

Professor, LPU.
• The amount of foreshortening that is present can greatly affect
the appearance of our scenes

Professor, LPU.
2. Vanishing points: An illusion that certain sets of parallel
lines appear to meet at a point (called vanishing point).
– These are those lines that are not
parallel to view plane i.e. lines that
are not ⊥ to view plane normal.
– Principal vanishing points are
formed by apparent intersection of
lines parallel to one of the three
principal axes.
– The number of principal vanishing
points is determined by the number
of principal axis intersected by the
view plane.

• Three-point perspective projection is used less
frequently as it adds little extra realism to that

3. View Confusion: An object behind the COP is projected
upside down and backward onto the view plane.

4. Topological Distortion: All points lying on the plane
parallel to view plane and passing through the COP are
projected to ∞ by the perspective transformation.
– This may make a finite line segment
to appear as two infinite rays.

• Although a perspective
projection is set up by
specifying the position and size
of the view plane and the
position of the projection
reference point called COP
• However, this can be kind of
awkward

Professor, LPU.
• The field of view angle can be a more intuitive way to specify
perspective projections
• This is analogous to choosing a lense for a camera
Field of view

Professor, LPU.
• We need one more thing to specify a perspective projections
using the filed of view angle
• The aspect ratio gives the ratio between the width sand height
of the view plane

Professor, LPU.
• Parallel projections are used by drafter and engineers to create working
drawings of an object as they preserve scale and shape
• These are described by
– Viewing Direction: which describe the direction of projection
– View Plane: Plane containing canvas or film strip or frame buffer
• A ray called projector is drawn || to Viewing direction and passing through
object point, its intersection with view plane determines the projected
image point on view plane.

• Cavalier Projection- It is obtained when the angle
between the oblique projectors and the plane of
projection is 45 degree and the foreshortening factors for
all three principal directions are equal.
• In Cavalier projection , the resulting figure is too thick.
Professor, LPU.

• Cabinet Projection- It is used to correct the deficiency
that is produced by Cavalier projection.
• An oblique projection for which the foreshortening factor
for the edge perpendicular to the plane of projection is
one-half is called Cabinet projection.
• For a cabinet projection, the angle between the
projectors and the plane of projection is 63.43.
