| He worked on geodesy but became interested in conformal map projections where he invented a quincuncial map projection using elliptic functions. |
|
| During this period he began to perfect a new map projection for which he is best remembered. |
|
| When displayed in a view, the features are projected into the map projection system that is spec ified in the Projection Properties dialogue. |
|
| Local reference systems are the official national coordinate and height systems, the reference ellispoid, the geoid model and the map projection. |
|
| What is surprising is that someone discovered the map projection to do it. |
|
| Once this is performed, intelligent resamplers traverse the three-dimensional model to combine the pixels into the desired map projection and scale. |
|
| The Surveys Act defines the coordinate reference system and map projection used in New Brunswick. |
|
| A planar map projection in which the point of tangency with the globe is at the north or south pole. |
|
| The first volume discussed basic principles and dealt with map projection and globe construction. |
|
| The latter stands high in the S by our map times but is squashed by our map projection. |
|
| Eventually Mr. McLaughlin's idea for a map projection of the continents, with the United States front and center on the vertical axis, won out. |
|
| But this method produces distortion, so a map projection today may be created using any of a number of mathematical methods. |
|
| This example displays a map projection of ocean temperatures around the globe. |
|
| But opinions differed sharply about how this could actually be done and, in particular, about what kind of map projection should be used. |
|
| The orientation or position of a map projection graticule in respect to the lines of latitude and longitude on the globe they are representing. |
|
| An equidistant conical map projection which envelops the globe with an infinite number of cones, each with its own standard parallel. |
|
| Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. |
|
| Geo-spatial data would be meaningless without information on the reference system and the map projection they are based on. |
|
| A planar map projection which is tangent to the globe at a single point, but may be oriented at any aspect. |
|
| It is defined by its geographical boundaries with information about coordinates and the map projection. |
|
|
|
| Before working with the new view, the geographic area to be displayed and the map projection to display the themes in must be specified. |
|
| Unlike the circle used as a familiar shape, the indicatrix is based upon Tissot's theorem of map projection distortion. |
|
| A map is made using a map projection, which is any method of representing a globe on a plane. |
|
| The mapmaker must choose a suitable map projection according to the space to be mapped and the purpose of the map. |
|
| A note from Neil Freeman: When I say the maps are in the same scale, each is drawn in a custom Transverse Mercator map projection centred on each system. |
|
| Each of these zones will then form the basis of a separate map projection. |
|
| The digital orthophoto is cast onto a map projection with the result that it combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a topographic map. |
|
| A map projection based on any commonly known projection, to which changes have been made to reduce or modify the pattern of distortion, add more standard parallels, or change the orientation to an oblique aspect. |
|
| Information on the reference ellipsoid, height datum and map projection has become increasingly important with the expanding use of GPS equipment by non-experts. |
|
| In the process of map projection the shape, distance, area and angles of features on the curved surface of the Earth are stretched or compressed in order to retain their positional accuracy on a flat map. |
|
| The map projection creates spatial distortion as you move further north and air photo footprint displacement is therefore more apparent in these areas. |
|
| Which 16th century Flemish geographer devised a system of map projection for navigators that is still in use today? |
|
| Which 16th century Flemish cartographer developed a system of map projection that is still in modern use? |
|
| Technical users can request any common map projection to ensure compatibility with existing geospatial data layers. |
|
| The evaluation of the meridian distance integral is central to many studies in geodesy and map projection. |
|
| The datum, along with a map projection applied to a grid of reference locations, establishes a grid system for plotting locations. |
|
| The map uses a modified Ptolemaic map projection with curved meridians to depict the entire surface of the Earth. |
|
| Behind the scenes, TerraShare Ortho Manager handles everything for the user, seamlessly serving up thousands of orthos in the current map projection. |
|
| Astronomical Applications of the Quincuncial Map Projection. |
|
| Map projection formulas depend in the geometry of the projection as well as parameters dependent on the particular location at which the map is projected. |
