Image-Based Angular Distortion Metric of Map Projections by Using Surface Fitting for Noise Reduction

Measuring, analyzing, reducing, and optimizing distortions in map projections is important in cartography. In this study, we introduced a novel image-based angular distortion metric based on the previous spherical great circle arcs-based metric. Images with predefined patterns were used to generate...
