Introduction

Hans Vredeman de Vries: Perspektiv 1604

A painting [the projection plane] is the intersection of a visual pyramid

[view volume] at a given distance, with a fixed center [center of

projection] and a defined position of light, represented by art with lines

and colors on a given surface [the rendering]. (Alberti, 1435)

Classical Viewing

• Viewing requires three basic elements

• One or more objects

• A viewer with a projection surface

• Projectors that go from the object(s) to the projection surface

• Classical views are based on the relationship among these

elements

• The viewer picks up the object and orients it how she would

like to see it

• Each object is assumed to constructed from flat principal

faces

• Buildings, polyhedra, manufactured objects


Planar Geometric Projections

• Standard projections project onto a plane

• Projectors are lines that either

• converge at a center of projection

• are parallel

• Such projections preserve lines

• but not necessarily angles

• Nonplanar projections are needed for applications such as

map construction

Classical Projections


Perspective vs Parallel

• Classical viewing developed different techniques for drawing each type of projection

• For graphics all projections done same way using a single pipeline

• Fundamental distinction between parallel and perspective viewing • even though mathematically parallel

viewing is the limit of perspective viewing

Parallel Projections

• cop at infinity

• projectors are parallel

• no foreshortening • distant objects do not look smaller

• parallel lines remain parallel

• parallel projection subtypes • depending on angles between vpn and dop

• depending on dop and coordinate axes

Orthographic Projection

Projectors are orthogonal to projection

surface Special Cases

top/side/front projections:

view plane is

perpendicular to one of

the X,Y,Z axes

dop is identical to one

of the X,Y,Z axes

angles are maintained

used in architecture & civil

engineering


Multiview Orthographic Projection

• Projection plane parallel to

principal face

• Usually form front, top, side

views isometric (not multiview

orthographic view) front

side top

CAD & architecture

often display 3

views plus isometric


Advantages and Disadvantages

• Preserves both distances and angles

• Shapes preserved

• Can be used for measurements

• Building plans

• Manuals

• Cannot see what object really looks like because many

surfaces hidden from view

• Often we add the isometric


Axonometric Projections

Allow projection plane to move relative to object

classify by how many angles of

a corner of a projected cube are

the same

none: trimetric

two: dimetric

three: isometric

q 1

q 3 q 2


Types of Axonometric Projections

• Lines are scaled (foreshortened) but can find scaling factors • Lines preserved but angles are not

• Projection of a circle in a plane not parallel to the projection plane is an ellipse

• Can see three principal faces of a box-like object • Some optical illusions possible

• Parallel lines appear to diverge

• Does not look real because far objects are scaled the same as near objects

• Used in CAD applications


Oblique Projection

Arbitrary relationship between projectors and

projection plane

Oblique Parallel Projections Subtypes

• Cavalier projection: 45° angle between dop and vpn

• Cabinet projection: 63.4° (=arctan(2)) angle between dop

and vpn; z-lengths shorter by ½

• these are not perspective projections!

Cavalier projection Cabinet projection



• Can pick the angles to emphasize a particular face • Architecture: plan oblique, elevation oblique

• Angles in faces parallel to projection plane are preserved while we can still see “around” side

• In physical world, cannot create with simple camera; possible with bellows camera or special lens (architectural)

Perspective Projection

• Projectors converge at center of projection (camera)

• COP not at infinity

• Parallel lines are not preserved

• The meet at vanishing points

• Drawing simple perspectives by hand uses these vanishing

point(s)


vanishing point


Three-Point Perspective

• No principal face parallel to projection plane

• Three vanishing points for cube


Two-Point Perspective

• On principal direction parallel to projection plane

• Two vanishing points for cube


One-Point Perspective

• One principal face parallel to projection plane

• One vanishing point for cube



• Objects further from viewer are projected smaller

than the same sized objects closer to the viewer

(diminution) • Looks realistic

• Equal distances along a line are not projected into

equal distances (nonuniform foreshortening)

• Angles preserved only in planes parallel to the

projection plane

• More difficult to construct by hand than parallel

projections (but not more difficult by computer)

Perspective Projection: Vanishing Points

• how many vanishing points maximum?

Perspective Projection: Vanishing Points

• consider a simple object: cube with three sets of

parallel lines

• consider the view plane position w.r.t. X,Y,Z axes

Perspective Projections

• for our cube example:

• three vanishing points if view plane intersects all coordinate axes

• two if only two axes are intersected

• one if only one axis is intersected

• for a general object

• as many vanishing points as sets of parallel lines (for a natural

scene, infinitely many)

COMPUTER VIEWING


Objectives

• Introduce the mathematics of projection

• Introduce viewing in OpenGL

• Look at alternate viewing APIs


Computer Viewing

• Rendering pipeline takes us from model to final image

• Viewing

• model-view matrix

• Positioning the camera or arrange model w.r.t camera

• Need a camera coordinate system (eye/camera space)

• projection matrix

• Selecting a lens

• Need a complete camera model

• Clipping

• Setting the view volume


Model-View Transformation

• input:

• object definitions

(including lights etc.)

• object transformations

• camera position & parameters

• problem:

• how to arrange objects in space,

where we want them to be?

Perspective Projections: Camera Model

• mimics real cameras

• real camera parameters • position, orientation

• aperture

• shutter time

• focal length

• type of lens (zoom vs. wide)

• depth of field

• size of resulting image

• aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, 1.85:1, 2.35:1, 2.39:1)

• resolution (digital cameras)

Perspective Projections: Camera Model

• simplified camera model in CG

• position: 3D point (= cop)

• view direction: 3D vector (= vpn)

• image area on view plane: viewport

• clipping planes for removing near and far objects

The OpenGL Camera

• In OpenGL, initially the object and camera frames are

the same

• Default model-view matrix is an identity

• The camera is located at origin and points in the

negative z direction

• OpenGL also specifies a default view volume that is a

cube with sides of length 2 centered at the origin

• Default projection matrix is an identity


Default Projection

Default projection is orthogonal

clipped out

z=0

Moving the Camera Frame

• If we want to visualize object with both positive and

negative z values we can either • Move the camera in the positive z direction

• Translate the camera frame

• Move the objects in the negative z direction

• Translate the world frame

• Both of these views are equivalent and are determined by

the model-view matrix

• Want a translation (Translate(0.0,0.0,-d);)

• d > 0


Moving Camera back from Origin

default frames

frames after translation by –d

d > 0


Moving the Camera

• We can move the camera to any desired position by a

sequence of rotations and translations

• Example: side view

• Rotate the camera

• Move it away from origin

• Model-view matrix C = TR


OpenGL code

• Remember that last transformation specified is first to

be applied

// Using mat.h

// gets passed to shader

mat4 t = Translate (0.0, 0.0, -d);

mat4 ry = RotateY(90.0);

mat4 m = t*ry;

LookAt

LookAt(eye, at, up)


mat4 mv = LookAt(vec4 eye, vec4 at, vec4 up);

glm::vec4 currentPos, direction, up = vec4(0.,1.,0.f,0.);

glm::mat4 model = glm::lookAt(currentPos, currentPos+direction, up);


Other Viewing APIs

• The LookAt function is only one possible API for

positioning the camera

• Others include

• View reference point, view plane normal, view up (PHIGS, GKS-

3D)

• Yaw, pitch, roll

• Elevation, azimuth, twist

• Direction angles


Projections and Normalization

• The default projection in the eye (camera) frame is orthogonal

• For points within the default view volume

• Most graphics systems use view normalization

• All other views are converted to the default view by transformations

that determine the projection matrix

• Allows use of the same pipeline for all views

xp = x

yp = y

zp = 0


Homogeneous Coordinate Representation

xp = x

yp = y

zp = 0

wp = 1

pp = Mp

M =

In practice, we can let M = I and set

the z term to zero later

default orthographic projection


Simple Perspective

• Center of projection at the origin

• Projection plane z = d, d < 0

• d is focal distance

• Projection is:

• Given a point (x, y, z) to be projected

• Find projected point (xp, yp, d)

Projections Summary

• encode all projection types as matrices M

• given a • camera specification (location, focal distance d)

• 3D point p in the eye coordinate system

• compute the projection p’ = M p

• obtain the final 2D coordinates (x, y) of the projected point by dividing by the 4th element of the homogeneous vector p’

• can merge projection and modelview seamlessly (matrix multiplication)

• extra elements • clipping, hidden surface removal


OpenGL Orthogonal Viewing

Ortho(left,right,bottom,top,near,far)

glm::mat4 projMat = glm::ortho<GLfloat>( 0.0, w, h, 0.0, 1.0, -1.0 ) );

glm::mat4 glm::ortho(

float left, float right,

float bottom, float top,

float zNear, float zFar);

near and far measured from camera


OpenGL Perspective Viewing

Frustum(left,right,bottom,top,near,far)

glm::mat4 glm::frustum( float left, float right,

float bottom, float top, float zNear, float zFar);


Using Field of View

• With Frustum it is often difficult to get the desired view

• Perpective(fovy, aspect, near, far)

often provides a better interface

aspect = w/h

front plane

glm::mat4 perspective(

float fovy, float aspect, float zNear, float zFar);

Example (Similar to rotating Cube) #include "Angel.h"

typedef Angel::vec4 color4;

typedef Angel::vec4 point4;

const int NumVertices = 36; //(6 faces)(2 triangles/face)(3 vertices/triangle)

point4 points[NumVertices];

color4 colors[NumVertices];

point4 vertices[8] = { // axes aligned unit cube centered at origin

point4(-0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 1.0 ), point4(-0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0 ),

point4( 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0 ), point4( 0.5,-0.5, 0.5, 1.0 ),

point4(-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 1.0 ), point4(-0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 1.0 ),

point4( 0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 1.0 ), point4( 0.5,-0.5, -0.5, 1.0 )

} // RGBA olors

color4 vertex_colors[8] = {

color4( 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ), // black

color4( 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 ), // red

color4( 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0 ), // yellow

color4( 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0 ), // green

color4( 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0 ), // blue

color4( 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0 ), // magenta

color4( 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ), // white

PROJECTION MATRICES


Objectives

• Derive the projection matrices used for standard

OpenGL projections

• Introduce oblique projections

• Introduce projection normalization


Normalization

• Rather than derive a different projection matrix for each

type of projection, we can convert all projections to

orthogonal projections with the default view volume

• This strategy allows us to use standard transformations in

the pipeline and makes for efficient clipping


Pipeline View

modelview

transformation

projection

perspective

division

clipping projection

nonsingular

(invertable)

4D 3D

against default cube 3D 2D


Notes • We stay in four-dimensional homogeneous coordinates

through both the modelview and projection transformations

• Both these transformations are nonsingular

• Default to identity matrices (orthogonal view)

• Normalization lets us clip against simple cube regardless of type of projection

• Delay final projection until end • Important for hidden-surface removal to retain depth information

as long as possible


Orthogonal Normalization

Ortho(left,right,bottom,top,near,far)

normalization find transformation to convert

specified clipping volume to default


Orthogonal Matrix

• Two steps • Move center to origin

T(-(left+right)/2, -(bottom+top)/2,(near+far)/2))

• Scale to have sides of length 2

S(2/(left-right),2/(top-bottom),2/(near-far))

Oblique Projections

• The OpenGL projection functions cannot produce general parallel projections such as

• However if we look at the example of the cube it appears that the cube has been sheared

• Oblique Projection = Shear + Orthogonal Projection

degree field of view determined by the planes

x = z, y = z

the near plane is mapped to z = -1

the far plane is mapped to z =1

and the sides are mapped to x = 1, y = 1

Normalization Transformation

projects correctly

Normalization and Hidden-Surface

Removal • Although our selection of the form of the perspective matrices may appear somewhat arbitrary, it was chosen so that if z1 > z2 in the original clipping volume then for the transformed points z1’ > z2’

• Thus hidden surface removal works if we first apply the normalization transformation

• However, the formula z’’ = -(+/z) implies that the distances are distorted by the normalization which can cause numerical problems especially if the near distance is small


OpenGL Perspective

• glFrustum allows for an unsymmetric viewing frustum

(although Perspective does not)


OpenGL Perspective Matrix

• The normalization in Frustum requires an initial shear

to form a right viewing pyramid, followed by a scaling to get

the normalized perspective volume. Finally, the perspective

matrix results in needing only a final orthogonal

transformation

P = NSH

our previously defined

perspective matrix shear and scale


Why do we do it this way?

• Normalization allows for a single pipeline for both

perspective and orthogonal viewing

• We stay in four dimensional homogeneous coordinates as

long as possible to retain three-dimensional information

needed for hidden-surface removal and shading

• We simplify clipping
