Book excerpt: "The purpose of this publication is to bring together in one volume and to give in detail the mathematical development of the formulas (or source references) for these projections in their various forms for the convenience of the geodetic computers and cartographers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. It will supersede Special Publication No. 53, since it will incorporate the essential material contained therein."--Page iii.

Book excerpt: Map projection concerns the science of mathematical cartography, the techniques by which the Earth's dimensions, shape and features are translated in map form, be that two-dimensional paper or two- or three- dimensional electronic representations. The central focus of this book is on the theory of map projections. Mathematical cartography also take

Download or read book Choosing a Map Projection written by Miljenko Lapaine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a much-needed critical approach to the intelligent use of the wide variety of map projections that are rapidly and inexpensively available today. It also discusses the distortions that are immanent in any map projection. A well-chosen map projection is one in which extreme distortions are smaller than those in any other projection used to map the same area and in which the map properties match its purpose. Written by leading experts in the field, including W. Tobler, F.C. Kessler, S.E. Battersby, M.P. Finn, K.C. Clarke, V.S. Tikunov, H. Hargitai, B. Jenny and N. Frančula. This book is designed for use by laymen. The book editors are M. Lapaine and E.L. Usery, Chair and Vice-Chair, respectively, of the ICA Commission on Map Projections for the period 2011-2015.

This book was released on 1945 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface to the fifth edition: this edition contains a new plate showing outline of the United States in which the Lambert projection is superimposed on the Mercator projection on a scale sufficiently large to illustrate the difference in their properties and resulting delineation. Figures illustrating the nature of the Mercator projection as compared with the perspective projection upon a tangent cylinder have also been added with explanatory test. A new equal-area projection of the hemispheres by Dr. Oscar S. Adams is brought to notice and is shown on Plate XIV. The interesting property of isoperimetric curves (curves of true scale) which is inherent on all equal-area projections, is presented by illustration, (see Plate III), and also by figure No. 59, in its application to an Albers projection. Other features, more or less incidental, including Tissot's Indicatrix as applied to the sinusoidal projection, have been illustrated or briefly noted.

Book excerpt: With the advance of science and technology, there have been breakthroughs in the field of classical research and methods of map projection. Among these, computer science and space science have had the greater influence upon the field of research and the formation of a working body of map projection, developing them in breadth and depth. This book reflects several aspects of the development of modern mathematical cartography, especially the theory and methods of map projection transformation. Map projection transformation is an area of research in mathematical cartography newly developed over the last 25 years. It is widely used in surveying and computer-assisted cartography, data processing for information systems, and the transformation of data from space, remote sensing, and other space sciences. The development of map projection transformation not only expands new areas of research on mathematical cartography, but it also further develops the applied area with the creation and application of map projection transformation software and mapping mathematics bases on the computer.

Download or read book Coordinate Systems and Map Projections written by D.H. Maling and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised and expanded new edition of the definitive English work on map projections. The revisions take into account the huge advances in geometrical geodesy which have occurred since the early years of satellite geodesy. The detailed configuration of the geoid resulting from the GEOS and SEASAT altimetry measurements are now taken into consideration. Additionally, the chapter on computation of map projections is updated bearing in mind the availability of pocket calculators and microcomputers. Analytical derivation of some map projections including examples of pseudocylindrical and polyconic projections is also covered. Work undertaken in the USA and USSR on the creation of suitable map projections obtained through numerical analysis has been included. The book concludes with a chapter on the abuse and misrepresentation of map projections. An invaluable reference source for professional cartographers and all those interested in the fundamental problems of mapping the Earth.
Download or read book Map Projections written by Erik W. Grafarend and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 941 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) the book offers a timely review of Map Projections. The first chapters are of foundational type. We introduce the mapping from a left Riemann manifold to a right one specified as conformal, equiaerial and equidistant, perspective and geodetic. In particular, the mapping from a Riemann manifold to a Euclidean manifold ("plane") and the design of various coordinate systems are reviewed . A speciality is the treatment of surfaces of Gaussian curvature zero. The largest part is devoted to the mapping the sphere and the ellipsoid-of-revolution to tangential plane, cylinder and cone (pseudo-cone) using the polar aspect, transverse as well as oblique aspect. Various Geodetic Mappings as well as the Datum Problem are reviewed. In the first extension we introduce optimal map projections by variational calculus for the sphere, respectively the ellipsoid generating harmonic maps. The second extension reviews alternative maps for structures , namely torus (pneu), hyperboloid (cooling tower), paraboloid (parabolic mirror), onion shape (church tower) as well as clothoid (Hight Speed Railways) used in Project Surveying. Third, we present the Datum Transformation described by the Conformal Group C10 (3) in a threedimensional Euclidean space , a ten parameter conformal transformation. It leaves infinitesimal angles and distance ratios equivariant. Numerical examples from classical and new map projections as well as twelve appendices document the Wonderful World of Map Projections.
