  2. AuthaGraph projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AuthaGraph_projection

    An approximation of the AuthaGraph projection. AuthaGraph is an approximately equal-area world map projection invented by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa [1] in 1999. [2] The map is made by equally dividing a spherical surface into 96 triangles, transferring it to a tetrahedron while maintaining area proportions, and unfolding it in the form of a rectangle: it is a polyhedral map projection.

Standard world projection for the NGS since 1998. 1904 Van der Grinten: Other Compromise Alphons J. van der Grinten: Boundary is a circle.

  4. Map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

    However, the term "map projection" refers specifically to a cartographic projection. Despite the name's literal meaning, projection is not limited to perspective projections, such as those resulting from casting a shadow on a screen, or the rectilinear image produced by a pinhole camera on a flat film plate. Rather, any mathematical function ...

  5. Equal-area projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-area_projection

    The equal-area Mollweide projection. In cartography, an equivalent, authalic, or equal-area projection is a map projection that preserves relative area measure between any and all map regions. Equivalent projections are widely used for thematic maps showing scenario distribution such as population, farmland distribution, forested areas, and so ...

    Narukawa is the inventor of AuthaGraph, a unique world map projection, that is loosely based on Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion map.Narukawa had designed a simplified tensegrity modeling manual which he presented in his master thesis 'Tensegrity Modeling Manual' in 1996. [2]

    Equirectangular projection of the world; the standard parallel is the equator (plate carrée projection). Equirectangular projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation and with the standard parallels lying on the equator True-colour satellite image of Earth in equirectangular projection Height map of planet Earth at 2km per pixel, including oceanic bathymetry information, normalized as 8 ...

  9. Polyhedral map projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedral_map_projection

    Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion map. A polyhedral map projection is a map projection based on a spherical polyhedron. Typically, the polyhedron is overlaid on the globe, and each face of the polyhedron is transformed to a polygon or other shape in the plane. The best-known polyhedral map projection is Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion map.
