    Difference Between Parallel and Perspective Projection in Computer Graphics

    Projection maps 3D points to a 2D plane. There are two types: parallel and perspective. Parallel projection uses parallel lines and represents objects in their true shape/size, used in engineering. Perspective projection uses converging lines, represents objects realistically getting smaller with distance, used by artists. The key differences are that parallel projection has infinite distance and parallel lines while perspective projection has finite distance and converging lines, giving a more realistic but inaccurate view.

    Difference between Parallel and Perspective Projection in Computer

    Graphics
    Projection are defined as mapping of three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane.
    There are two type of projection parallel and perspective.
    1. Parallel Projection :
    Parallel projections are used by architects and engineers for creating working drawing of the
    object, for complete representations require two or more views of an object using different
    planes.
    Parallel Projection use to display picture in its true shape and size. When projectors are
    perpendicular to view plane then is called orthographic projection. The parallel projection is
    formed by extending parallel lines from each vertex on the object until they intersect the plane
    of the screen. The point of intersection is the projection of vertex.

    2. Perspective Projection :
    Perspective projections are used by artist for drawing three-dimensional scenes.
    In Perspective projection lines of projection do not remain parallel. The lines converge at a
    single point called a center of projection. The projected image on the screen is obtained by
    points of intersection of converging lines with the plane of the screen. The image on the screen
    is seen as of viewer’s eye were located at the centre of projection, lines of projection would
    correspond to path travel by light beam originating from object.
    Two main characteristics of perspective are vanishing points and perspective foreshortening.
    Due to foreshortening object and lengths appear smaller from the center of projection. More
    we increase the distance from the center of projection, smaller will be the object appear.
    Difference Between Parallel Projection And Perspective Projection :

    Parallel projection represents the


    object in a different way like Perspective projection represents the
    1 telescope. object in three dimensional way.

    In perspective projection, objects that are


    In parallel projection, these far away appear smaller, and objects that
    2 effects are not created. are near appear bigger.

    The distance of the object from


    the center of projection is The distance of the object from the
    3 infinite. center of projection is finite.

    Parallel projection can give the Perspective projection cannot give the

    Three types of perspective projection:


    Two types of parallel projection : 1.one point perspective,
