Book General Theory of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection

Download or read book General Theory of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection written by Oscar S. Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Theory of the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection This publication gives a general development of the theory of the Lambert conformal conic projection. It is intended to supplement the matter found in Special Publication No. 47 entitled, "The Lambert Conformal Conic Projection with Two Standard Parallels." It is also supplementary in a way to Special Publication No. 49, which contains the Lambert projection tables for the region in France, and to Special Publication No. 52, which gives corresponding tables for the United States, since it gives as a whole the mathematical development of the theory upon which they depend. A short account of Lambert's life and work is given in the introductory paragraphs, followed by a few pages upon the subject of projections in general.

Book Glossary of the Mapping Sciences

Download or read book Glossary of the Mapping Sciences written by American Society of Civil Engineers and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Glossary of Mapping Sciences, a joint publication of the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM), American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), contains approximately 10,000 terms that cover the broad professional areas of surveying, mapping and remote sensing. Based on over 150 sources, this glossary west through an extensive review process that included individual experts from the related subject fields and a variety of U.S. federal agencies such as the U.S.Geological Survey. This comprehensive review process helped to ensure the accuracy of the document. The Glossary of Mapping Sciences will find widespread use throughout the related professions and serve as a vehicle to standardize the terminology of the mapping sciences.

Book Geocomputation with R

Download or read book Geocomputation with R written by Robin Lovelace and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geocomputation with R is for people who want to analyze, visualize and model geographic data with open source software. It is based on R, a statistical programming language that has powerful data processing, visualization, and geospatial capabilities. The book equips you with the knowledge and skills to tackle a wide range of issues manifested in geographic data, including those with scientific, societal, and environmental implications. This book will interest people from many backgrounds, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) users interested in applying their domain-specific knowledge in a powerful open source language for data science, and R users interested in extending their skills to handle spatial data. The book is divided into three parts: (I) Foundations, aimed at getting you up-to-speed with geographic data in R, (II) extensions, which covers advanced techniques, and (III) applications to real-world problems. The chapters cover progressively more advanced topics, with early chapters providing strong foundations on which the later chapters build. Part I describes the nature of spatial datasets in R and methods for manipulating them. It also covers geographic data import/export and transforming coordinate reference systems. Part II represents methods that build on these foundations. It covers advanced map making (including web mapping), "bridges" to GIS, sharing reproducible code, and how to do cross-validation in the presence of spatial autocorrelation. Part III applies the knowledge gained to tackle real-world problems, including representing and modeling transport systems, finding optimal locations for stores or services, and ecological modeling. Exercises at the end of each chapter give you the skills needed to tackle a range of geospatial problems. Solutions for each chapter and supplementary materials providing extended examples are available at https://geocompr.github.io/geocompkg/articles/.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartographers have long grappled with the impossibility of portraying the earth in two dimensions. To solve this problem, mapmakers have created map projections. This work discusses and illustrates the known map projections from before 500BC to the present, with facts on their origins and use.

Book Coordinate Systems and Map Projections

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.

Book Map Projections

Download or read book Map Projections written by L M Bugayevskiy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1995-06-28 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 takes in map scales and their variation, the division of maps into sets of sheets and nomenclature, and addresses the problems of making measurements and conducting investigations which make use of geodetic measurements and the development of graphical methods for solving problems of spherical trigonometry, marine- and aeronavigation, astronomy and even crystallography.
