1. Projection Theory
Engineering and technical graphics are
dependent on projection methods.
The two projection methods primarily
used are perspective and parallel.
All projection theory is based on two
variables: line of sight (projectors) and plane
of projection. A line of sight
(LOS) is an imaginary ray of light between an
observer’s
eye and an object.
A line of sight (LOS) is an imaginary ray
of light between an observer’s eye and an
object.
A plane of projection (i.e., an image or
picture plane) is an imaginary flat plane upon
which the image created by the lines of sight
is projected.
Parallel versus Perspective Projection
Parallel projection If the distance from the observer to
the object is infinite (or essentially so), then the projectors
(i.e., projection lines) are parallel and the drawing is
classified as a parallel projection (see Figure 1).
Parallel projection requires that the object be positioned
at infinity and viewed from multiple points on an
imaginary line parallel to the object.
Parallel versus Perspective Projection
Perspective projection If the distance from the observer
to the object is finite, then the projectors are not parallel
and the drawing is classified as a perspective projection
(see Figure 2).
Perspective projection requires that the object be
positioned at a finite distance and viewed from a single
point (station point).
Orthographic projection is a parallel projection
technique in which the plane of projection is
positioned between the observer and the object and is
perpendicular to the parallel lines of sight. The
orthographic projection technique can produce either
pictorial drawings that show all three dimensions of an
object in one view, or multi views that show only two
dimensions of an object in a single view
TO OBTAIN MULTIVIEW REPRESENTATION OF
AN OBJECT
1. Revolve the object with respect to observer.
2. The observer moves around the object.
