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

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

The Robinson projection is a map projection of a world map that shows the entire world at once. It was specifically created in an attempt to find a good...

The Collignon projection is an equal-area pseudocylindrical map projection first known to be published by Édouard Collignon in 1865 and subsequently cited...

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...
