Vanishing point is below the horizon line, its vanishing lines angle up to the horizon line. If the object is above, they slope down. All vanishing lines end at the horizon line. 1. Projections of two sets of parallel lines lying in some plane appear to converge, i.e. the vanishing point associated with that pair, on a horizon line, or vanishing line formed by the intersection of the image plane with the plane parallel to and passing through the pinhole. Proof: Consider the ground plane , as which is, for the sake of simplicity, orthogonal to the image plane. Also, consider a
Parallel (geometry) same three-dimensional space that do not intersect need not be parallel. Only if they are in a common plane are they called parallel; otherwise they are called skew lines. Two distinct lines "l" and "m" in three-dimensional space are parallel if and only if the distance from a point "P" on line "m" to the nearest point on line "l" is independent of the location of "P" on line "m". This never holds for skew lines. A line "m" and a plane "q" in three-dimensional space, the line not lying in that plane, are parallel if and only if they
