Graphical projection Perspective projection is a linear projection where three dimensional objects are projected on a "picture plane". This has the effect that distant objects appear smaller than nearer objects. It also means that lines which are parallel in nature (that is, meet at the point at infinity) appear to intersect in the projected image, for example if railways are pictured with perspective projection, they appear to converge towards a single point, called vanishing point. Photographic lenses and the human eye work in the same way, therefore perspective projection looks most realistic. Perspective projection is usually categorized into "one-point", "two-point" and "three-point
Point-to-point (telecommunications) Point-to-point (telecommunications) In telecommunications, a point-to-point connection refers to a communications connection between two communication endpoints or nodes. An example is a telephone call, in which one telephone is connected with one other, and what is said by one caller can only be heard by the other. This is contrasted with a "point-to-multipoint" or "broadcast" connection, in which many nodes can receive information transmitted by one node. Other examples of point-to-point communications links are leased lines, microwave radio relay and two-way radio. The term is also used in computer networking and computer architecture to refer to a wire or other
