The points of interest are first projected from the spheroid to an equivalent sphere, that is, to a sphere of equal area. Then, the points of the equivalent sphere are projected onto the surface of a circumscribing cylinder (cylindrical equal-area projection) following the standard mapping procedure of mapping the sphere to the plane. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/4535 | ISSN: | 22845569 | Rights: | © ReseachGate | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology |
