Many books, textbooks and papers have been published in which the classification of map projections is based on auxiliary (developable) surfaces and projections are divided into conic, cylindrical and azimuthal projections. We argue that such a class...
In previous papers that have dealt with cylindrical map projections as limiting cases of conical projections, standard or equidistant parallels were used in the derivations. This paper shows that this is not necessary and that it is sufficient to use...
This work intends to define the resolution requirements for near-field projections in a psycho-physical study design to evaluate the participants’ perception under the influence of different ambient lighting levels and various viewing distances...
Map projections are usually interpreted by mapping a sphere onto an auxiliary surface, and then the surface is developed into a plane. It is taken as a fact without proof that the parallels in which the auxiliary surface intersects the sphere are map...
This paper is motivated by the difference between the classical principal component analysis (PCA) in a Euclidean space and the tropical PCA in a tropical projective torus as follows. In Euclidean space, the projection of the mean point of a given da...

The literature usually calls downscaled versions of basic conformal map projections “secant”, referring to conceptual developable map surfaces that intersect the reference frame. However, recent studies pointed out on the examples of vari...
Snow is the dominant form of precipitation and the main cryospheric feature of the High Arctic (HA) covering its land, sea, lake and river ice surfaces for a large part of the year. The snow cover in the HA is involved in climate feedbacks that influ...
The main problem in cartography is that it is not possible to map/project/transform a spherical or ellipsoidal surface into a plane without distortions. The distortions of areas, angles, and/or distances are immanent to all maps. It is known that sca...
