Which of the following are types of cameras?

1. None of the above
2. Perspective Camera, Orthographic camera and Lineal
3. Perspective Camera and Orthographic Camera
4. Lineal and Orthographic camera

Answer :

In the world of photography and computer graphics, different types of cameras are used for various purposes. The types listed in the question are:

  • Perspective Camera: This type of camera mimics the way the human eye sees. It projects a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, capturing depth through perspective, where objects farther away appear smaller.

  • Orthographic Camera: Unlike the perspective camera, an orthographic camera provides a parallel projection where objects maintain their size regardless of their depth. This is often used in technical and architectural drawings to maintain accurate dimensions.

  • Lineal: 'Lineal' is not a recognized type of camera. It seems to be either a typo or a misunderstanding.

With this understanding, the correct choice from the options is:

  1. Perspective Camera and Orthographic Camera

This choice includes two valid types of cameras used in computer graphics and photography.
