The General Perspective projection is a map projection. When the Earth is photographed from space, the camera records the view as a perspective projection...

These projections rely on visual perspective and aspect analysis to project a complex object for viewing capability on a simpler plane. 3D projections use...

Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic...

"map projection" refers specifically to a cartographic projection. Despite the name's literal meaning, projection is not limited to perspective projections...

Oblique projection is a simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional (2D) images of three-dimensional (3D)...

stereographic projection is a perspective projection of the sphere, through a specific point on the sphere (the pole or center of projection), onto a plane...

orthographic projection and gnomonic projection, the stereographic projection is an azimuthal projection, and when on a sphere, also a perspective projection. On...

projection is a perspective projection in which the sphere is projected onto a tangent plane or secant plane. The point of perspective for the orthographic...

projection was devised by Arthur H. Robinson in 1963 in response to an appeal from the Rand McNally company, which has used the projection in general-purpose...

moved towards infinity. Put differently, a parallel projection corresponds to a perspective projection with an infinite focal length (the distance between...

P is the central perspectivity in S2 with center P between that line and the line which is its image under φ. Perspective projection Desargues's theorem...

gnomonic projection, also known as a central projection or rectilinear projection, is a perspective projection of a sphere, with center of projection at the...

The central cylindrical projection is a perspective cylindrical map projection. It corresponds to projecting the Earth's surface onto a cylinder tangent...

The Gall–Peters projection is a rectangular, equal-area map projection. Like all equal-area projections, it distorts most shapes. It is a cylindrical...

procedure is a uniformly-scaled parallel projection of the object. In general, the resulting parallel projection is oblique (the rays are not perpendicular...

The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection or la carte parallélogrammatique projection), and which includes the...

The Mercator projection (/mərˈkeɪtər/) is a conformal cylindrical map projection first presented by Flemish geographer and mapmaker Gerardus Mercator...

der Grinten projection is a compromise map projection, which means that it is neither equal-area nor conformal. Unlike perspective projections, the van der...

The Dymaxion map projection, also called the Fuller projection, is a kind of polyhedral map projection of the Earth's surface onto the unfolded net of...

AuthaGraph is an approximately equal-area world map projection invented by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa in 1999. The map is made by equally dividing...

known as the Babinet projection, homalographic projection, homolographic projection, and elliptical projection. The projection trades accuracy of angle...

The Werner projection is a pseudoconic equal-area map projection sometimes called the Stab-Werner or Stabius-Werner projection. Like other heart-shaped...
