  2. Scale (map) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)

    The terms are sometimes used in the absolute sense of the table, but other times in a relative sense. For example, a map reader whose work refers solely to large-scale maps (as tabulated above) might refer to a map at 1:500,000 as small-scale. In the English language, the word large-scale is often used to mean "extensive".

  3. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    A scale factor of 1 is normally allowed, so that congruent shapes are also classed as similar. Uniform scaling happens, for example, when enlarging or reducing a photograph, or when creating a scale model of a building, car, airplane, etc. More general is scaling with a separate scale factor for each axis direction.

  4. Linear scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scale

    The length of the line on the linear scale is equal to the distance represented on the earth multiplied by the map or chart's scale. In most projections, scale varies with latitude, so on small scale maps, covering large areas and a wide range of latitudes, the linear scale must show the scale for the range of latitudes covered by the map. One ...

  5. Helmert transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmert_transformation

    The third step consists of the application of a rotation matrix, multiplication with the scale factor = + (with a value near 1) and the addition of the three translations, c x, c y, c z. The coordinates of a reference system B are derived from reference system A by the following formula (position vector transformation convention and very small ...

  6. Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system - Wikipedia

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

    In each zone the scale factor of the central meridian reduces the diameter of the transverse cylinder to produce a secant projection with two standard lines, or lines of true scale, about 180 km on each side of, and about parallel to, the central meridian (Arc cos 0.9996 = 1.62° at the Equator). The scale is less than 1 inside the standard ...

    You will need a kitchen scale to measure this out, but it only needs to be done about once a week. I suggest you put it all through a meat grinder to mix it thoroughly. If you do not have one and ...

  9. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    For example, a Mercator map printed in a book might have an equatorial width of 13.4 cm corresponding to a globe radius of 2.13 cm and an RF of approximately ⁠ 1 / 300M ⁠ (M is used as an abbreviation for 1,000,000 in writing an RF) whereas Mercator's original 1569 map has a width of 198 cm corresponding to a globe radius of 31.5 cm and an ...
