Perspective projection distortion is an error introduced in drawing when images are created by the use of "projectors".

Figure 8 shows that the perspective projection of the horizontal top line of the wall intersects at the retina (actually, in true life, at the focal point slightly in front of the retina and from where it is inverted).
