The analogy to 'perspectival shortening' fails because visual foreshortening preserves object properties under projection, whereas Doppler pitch-shift reflects no intrinsic property of the source.

Based on where you are in your exploration

Doppler pitch-shift(as used in physics and sound): The change in the pitch (highness or lowness) of a sound when its source moves toward or away from you—like how a siren sounds higher-pitched as an ambulance approaches and lower-pitched as it moves away.
Visual foreshortening(as used in art and perception): The visual effect where an object appears shortened or compressed when viewed from an angle, like how a stick looks shorter when tilted away from you compared to when it's pointing straight at you.
analogy(Contrasted with homology, which concerns correspondence due to common ancestry.): A relation based on functional similarity between structures, which can occur despite different evolutionary origins.
intrinsic property(Contrasted with relational property in the analysis of molecular shape): A property possessed by an object independently of its relations to other things
perspectival shortening(Used to explain how Doppler-shifted sound is still perception of a distal vibration process): A mode of perception in which a property or process of a distal object is heard in a modified or foreshortened way due to the conditions of transmission, without changing the identity of what is perceived
projection(Valiant 1982): A very restricted form of reduction, weaker than polynomial-time reduction
