Question

These are points at which the edges of the object appear to be converging. This point is seen at eye level, ie. on HP are __________

(a) Station point

(b) Piercing point

(c) Exit point

(d) Vanishing point

I had been asked this question in an interview for job.

My question comes from Perspective Projection in division Development of Surfaces, Isometric Projections, Perspective Projections & Transformation of Projections of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Vanishing point

For explanation: In graphical perspective, a vanishing point is an abstract point on the image plane where 2D projections (or drawings) of a set of parallel lines in 3D space appear to converge. When the set of parallel lines is perpendicular to a picture plane, the construction is known as one-point perspective, and their vanishing point corresponds to the oculus, or “eye point”, from which the image should be viewed for correct perspective geometry. Traditional linear drawings use objects with one to three sets of parallels, defining one to three vanishing points.
