perspective projection
Technical term in computer graphics and geometry for projecting a 3D scene onto a 2D plane with perspective foreshortening.
Perspective projection expresses depth by drawing distant objects smaller.
In 3D graphics, perspective projection and parallel projection are often used.
Parallel projection preserves parallel lines and does not use foreshortening, unlike perspective projection.
Compound of 透視 (perspective, seeing through) and 投影 (projection).
