Methods exist for selecting projections based on the intended area of use but not for finding polygons that can be used to clip geographic data to ensure the data are projected correctly and within desired distortion limits. The projection methods available in the Proj library were examined to determine the nature of the errors and distortions they created based on global data and a wide variety of available settings. Approaches were then identified for each projection including simple bounding boxes and more complex clipping polygons. To make sure that errors were not introduced into the projected data, data integrity polygons (DIPs) were created by placing a grid of cells over the Earth and then finding a cell near the origin that was within the specified criteria. Adjacent cells were added to the DIPs that met the criteria until no additional cells could be added. The criteria included projected cell sides could not intersect with themselves or other cells, the order of the cell corners could not be reversed, and distortion within the cell had to be within specified limits. I found that up to two DIPs with a limit on length distortion of a factor of 4 provided a general solution for all but three projection methods. Limitations included the time to find DIPs at high resolution. Clipping polygons and visualizations of the results were made available on a website.

Using converted WW1 Army Grid Referencing Systems to identify locations where Australian soldiers fell Europe / Rodney Deakin in International journal of cartography, vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of cartography > vol 8 n° 3 (November 2022) . - pp 308 - 325 Titre : Using converted WW1 Army Grid Referencing Systems to identify locations where Australian soldiers fell Europe Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Rodney Deakin, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 308 - 325 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Projections [Termes IGN] Australie [Termes IGN] carte ancienne [Termes IGN] carte militaire [Termes IGN] carte topographique [Termes IGN] coordonnées géographiques [Termes IGN] Europe (géographie politique) [Termes IGN] Google Maps [Termes IGN] grille [Termes IGN] guerre [Termes IGN] projection conforme [Termes IGN] projection Universal Transverse Mercator [Termes IGN] transformation de coordonnées [Termes IGN] vingtième siècle Résumé : (auteur) Topographic maps (1:40,000) used by the British Army on the Western Front in World War 1 had a five-part Grid Reference System consisting of: (1) Map Number; (2) Letter-Square – 24 letter squaresA to X on each map; (3) Number-Square – 36 (and sometimes 30) 1000-yard squares in each letter square; (4) Minor-Square – four 500-yard squares denoted a, b, c, d in each number square; (5) Small-Square – 10 × 10 = 100 small-squares in a minor-square. Letter and number grid Woesten references (e.g. X: 28.A.6.b.73) cannot be used by modern GPS navigation devices that require geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) or current map grid coordinates. This paper provides the background behind this project and demonstrates a method of transforming WW1 grid references to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid coordinates using Google Maps to obtain geographical coordinates, Geographic to UTM grid conversion and a 2D Conformal transformation. As well, it provides a ‘snapshot’ of practical methods that were used to develop a software package that would allow amateur military historians to convert the WW1 Grid Reference System to contemporary coordinates.

Conformal cylindrical properties of Adriatic Sea basin renderings on portolan charts / Tome Marelić in Cartographic journal (the), vol 59 n° 2 (May 2022)

In the first stage of the research, the geometry of the portolan charts was compared to six selected map projections in order to determine the geometrical ‘best fit'. In the second stage, networks of lines plotted on charts were divided regionally and functionally and compared to the ‘best fit’ map projection to determine their geometric patterns in more detail. The research results showed that Adriatic Sea basin renderings on portolan charts were probably the result of a deliberately applied map projection which was geometrically most similar to the modern conformal cylindrical (Mercator) projection.

Optimising 2-parameter Lambert Conformal Conic projections for ground-to-grid distortions / Sergio Baselga in Survey review, Vol 53 n° 380 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inSurvey review > Vol 53 n° 380 (September 2021) . - pp 415 - 421 Titre : Optimising 2-parameter Lambert Conformal Conic projections for ground-to-grid distortions Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Sergio Baselga, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 415 - 421 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Projections [Termes IGN] carroyage géographique [Termes IGN] déformation géométrique [Termes IGN] projection conique de Lambert [Termes IGN] projection Universal Transverse Mercator [Termes IGN] transformation inverse Résumé : (auteur) A Lambert Conformal Conic (LCC) projection with two true-scale parallels of latitudes ϕl and ϕu can be recast in a LCC projection with one standard parallel of latitude ϕ0 and scale k0, having the practical advantage that the same type of definition can be used for the two conformal projections universally used: LCC and Transverse Mercator (TM). While equations giving ϕ0 and k0 in terms ϕl and ϕu can be found in the literature, inverse relationships are not readily found. They are derived in the present paper. These may be necessary in views of the planned future definition of the United States State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS) 2022 for the users of particular mapping software requiring to specify the two latitude values instead of the central latitude and central scale. While map projection parameters are customary selected to minimise ellipsoid-to-grid distortions for a region, in some cases it could be more convenient to study and minimise ground-to-grid distortions. Also bearing in mind the design of SPCS 2022, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of working with each type of distortion definition.

The spread of the Mercator projection in Western European and United States cartography / Michele Abee in Cartographica, vol 56 n° 2 (Summer 2021)  

Public [article]  inCartographica > vol 56 n° 2 (Summer 2021) . - pp 151 - 165 Titre : The spread of the Mercator projection in Western European and United States cartography Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Michele Abee, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 151 - 165 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Projections [Termes IGN] cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] Etats-Unis [Termes IGN] Europe occidentale [Termes IGN] histoire de la cartographie [Termes IGN] projection Universal Transverse Mercator Résumé : (auteur) In 1569, the Dutch cartographer Gerard Mercator published a projection that revolutionized maritime navigation. While the current literature notes the significance of the Mercator projection, it does not cover how it became a dominant projection for world maps in thematic and reference cartography. The institutionalization of the Mercator projection in western European and U.S. cartography was the result of the roles played by navigators, scientific societies and agencies, and the producers of popular reference and thematic maps and atlases. The data are pulled from the publication record of world maps and world maps in atlases for content analysis and are compared and contrasted with complementary historical sources. The results reveal that the misuse of the Mercator projection began after 1700, when it was connected to scientists working with navigators and the creation of thematic cartography. During the eighteenth century, the Mercator projection was published in journals and reports for geographic societies that detailed state-sponsored explorations. In the nineteenth century, the influence of well-known scientists using the Mercator projection filtered into publications for the general public. The use of the Mercator projection for world maps in reference and thematic cartography was a choice that was the result of the projection being indirectly validated by the scientific and academic communities from the eighteenth century into the nineteenth century.
