  2. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    The straight-line distance between the central point on the map to any other point is the same as the straight-line 3D distance through the globe between the two points. c. 150 BC: Stereographic: Azimuthal Conformal Hipparchos* Map is infinite in extent with outer hemisphere inflating severely, so it is often used as two hemispheres.

  3. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse...

    The projection from spheroid to a UTM zone is some parameterization of the transverse Mercator projection. The parameters vary by nation or region or mapping system. Most zones in UTM span 6 degrees of longitude, and each has a designated central meridian. The scale factor at the central meridian is specified to be 0.9996 of true scale for most ...

  5. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The distance from (x 0, y 0) to this line is measured along a vertical line segment of length |y 0 - (-c/b)| = |by 0 + c| / |b| in accordance with the formula. Similarly, for vertical lines (b = 0) the distance between the same point and the line is |ax 0 + c| / |a|, as measured along a horizontal line segment.

  6. Projection mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_mapping

    Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique [1] [2] used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection. The objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects, or theatrical stages.

  7. Stereographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_projection

    For any point P on M, there is a unique line through N and P, and this line intersects the plane z = 0 in exactly one point P ′, known as the stereographic projection of P onto the plane. In Cartesian coordinates ( x , y , z ) on the sphere and ( X , Y ) on the plane, the projection and its inverse are given by the formulas

  8. Map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

    Therefore, more generally, a map projection is any method of flattening a continuous curved surface onto a plane. [citation needed] The most well-known map projection is the Mercator projection. [7]: 45 This map projection has the property of being conformal. However, it has been criticized throughout the 20th century for enlarging regions ...

  9. Sinusoidal projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_projection

    The true distance between two points on a meridian can be measured on the map as the vertical distance between the parallels that intersect the meridian at those points. With no distortion along the central meridian and the equator , distances along those lines are correct, as are the angles of intersection of other lines with those two lines.
