  2. Parallel projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_projection

    A parallel projection is a particular case of projection in mathematics and graphical projection in technical drawing. Parallel projections can be seen as the limit of a central or perspective projection , in which the rays pass through a fixed point called the center or viewpoint , as this point is moved towards infinity.

  3. Projection (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a projection is an idempotent mapping of a set (or other mathematical structure) into a subset (or sub-structure). In this case, idempotent means that projecting twice is the same as projecting once. The restriction to a subspace of a projection is also called a projection, even if the idempotence property is lost. An everyday ...

    A square matrix is called a projection matrix if it is equal to its square, i.e. if =. [2]: p. 38 A square matrix is called an orthogonal projection matrix if = = for a real matrix, and respectively = = for a complex matrix, where denotes the transpose of and denotes the adjoint or Hermitian transpose of .

  5. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.

  6. Projective geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_geometry

    In mathematics, projective geometry is the study of geometric properties that are invariant with respect to projective transformations.This means that, compared to elementary Euclidean geometry, projective geometry has a different setting (projective space) and a selective set of basic geometric concepts.

  7. Projective space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_space

    In mathematics, the concept of a projective space originated from the visual effect of perspective, where parallel lines seem to meet at infinity. A projective space may thus be viewed as the extension of a Euclidean space , or, more generally, an affine space with points at infinity , in such a way that there is one point at infinity of each ...

    The Sealey Elementary Math and Science Magnet School, on Allen Road near the Tallahassee Mall, was originally at 234 E. Seventh Ave. — now the home of the Tallahassee Police Department.

  9. Vanishing point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_point

    Projections of two sets of parallel lines lying in some plane π A appear to converge, i.e. the vanishing point associated with that pair, on a horizon line, or vanishing line H formed by the intersection of the image plane with the plane parallel to π A and passing through the pinhole.
