Distortion in Drawing
In a drawing, projectors are imaginary lines which aid in the drawing of real images. In photography, the projection mechanism is light reflected from an object.
To execute a drawing using perspective projection projectors emanate from all points of an object and intersect at a station point. These projectors intersect with an imaginary plane of projection and an image is created on the plane by the points of intersection. The resulting image on the projection plane reproduces the image of the object as it is beheld from the station point.
