Approximately Conformal, Equivalent and Equidistant Map Projections [PDF]
Journal of Geodesy and Geoinformation Science, 2022 If geodetic coordinates from an ellipsoid are included in the equations of a projection for mapping a sphere instead of geographical coordinates, the result will be a projection of the ellipsoid into a plane.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 We studied the numerical approximation problem of distortion in map projections. Most widely used differential methods calculate area distortion and maximum angular distortion using partial derivatives of forward equations of map projections. However, in

The gerrymandering jumble: map projections permute districts’ compactness scores [PDF]
Cartography and Geographic Information Science, 2019 In political redistricting, the compactness of a district is used as a quantitative proxy for its fairness. Several well established, yet competing, notions of geographic compactness are commonly used to evaluate the shapes of regions, including the ...

From Conic to Cylindrical Map Projections
Geodetski Vestnik, 2023 In books and textbooks on map projections, cylindrical, conic and azimuthal projections are usually considered separately. It is sometimes mentioned that cylindrical and azimuthal projections can be interpreted as limiting cases of conic, but this is ...

Dynamic Point Cloud Compression Based on Projections, Surface Reconstruction and Video Compression
Sensors, 2021 In this paper we will present a new dynamic point cloud compression based on different projection types and bit depth, combined with the surface reconstruction algorithm and video compression for obtained geometry and texture maps. Texture maps have been

From cartography of the Universe to molecular cartography – the use of map projections
Polish Cartographical Review, 2015 Map projections are very important in the compilation of various types of maps and spatial databases. Geographical information systems provide their users with the significant opportunities in the choice of map projections, coordinate systems, their ...

Assessment of the Kosovo National Coordinate System (KOSOVAREF01) and Evaluation of Alternative Systems [PDF]
Micro, Macro & Mezzo GeoinformationCoordinate Reference Systems (CRSs) provide the mathematical framework for defining the locations of spatial entities within a reference frame, which includes a geodetic datum and, in many cases, a map projection and additional parameters.

The method of construction of cylindrical and azimuthal equal-area map projections of a tri-axial ellipsoid [PDF]
Geodesy and Cartography, 2018 The paper presents a method of construction of cylindrical and azimuthal equalarea map projections of a triaxial ellipsoid. Equations of a triaxial ellipsoid are a function of reduced coordinates and functions of projections are expressed with use of the

Fibonacci lattices for the evaluation and optimization of map projections
Computational Geosciences, 2018 Latitude-longitude grids are frequently used in geosciences for global numerical modelling although they are remarkably inhomogeneous due to meridian convergence.
