View Frustum (Computer Graphics)

A frustum is a geometric shape representing a truncated pyramid with a rectangular base1. In Computer Graphics, it denotes the viewing region of a camera that defines the visible portion of a scene ([📖RTR, p. 11]). Therefore, it is also referred to as the view volume ([📖PJH23, p. 7]).
