Technique for representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface following strict conventions by which imaginary sight lines project from the observer's eye to the object, transmitting an image of the object to an intervening transparent surface (the picture plane). Applies especially to technical drawings; with relation to art, use such terms as "one-point perspective" and "parallel perspective."
