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

Topographic and thematic (in)visibility of Small Island Developing States in a world map
Journal of Maps, 2020 Many world maps visualize global data to represent the statistical and spatial relationships among countries. These maps are typically printed in reports or displayed online at a small scale. At such scale, small nations are difficult to perceive or even

The Influence of Map Projections on People’s Global-Scale Cognitive Map: A Worldwide Study
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 Map projections are required to represent the globe on a flat surface, which always results in distorted representations of the globe. Accordingly, the world maps we observe in daily life contexts, such as on news sites, in news bulletins, on social ...

Evaluating Young People’s Area Estimation of Countries and Continents
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019 For decades, cartographers and cognitive scientists have speculated about the influence of map projections on mental representations of the world. The development of Web 2.0 and web mapping services at the beginning of the 21st century—such as Google ...

Matching Standard and Secant Parallels in Cylindrical Projections
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2023 Map projections are usually interpreted by mapping a sphere onto an auxiliary surface, and then the surface is developed into a plane. It is taken as a fact without proof that the parallels in which the auxiliary surface intersects the sphere are mapped ...
