Perspective projection distortion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Both types of projection involve a distortion; parallel lines never intersect in nature, but they always intersect in perspective projections, with the rare exception wherein both the surface of projection is planar and an object plane is spatially parallel to the plane of projection. |
 | | Mathematically, the difference between artifical perspective projection (perspective projection onto a flat surface) and natural perspective projection (perspective projection onto a spherical surface) is a distortion resulting from the small-angle approximation which results from projecting onto a flat surface. |
 | | In an artificial perspective projection, every car on the road would be drawn at the same size, even though it is clear in reality, that the farther away from the center of the picture that a car is, the farther away from the viewer that car would be. |
