Automated detection of the unknown early map projection
New scientific software supporting the automated detection of the early map projection and its parameters. Useful for studying and analysis of different kinds of maps with the lack of information about the map projection.
The analysis is based on the minimization of residuals between control points on the early and current reference maps.
Designed for cartographers as well as for enthusiasts.
Available free of charge.
The awareness of the map projection is primarily important for:
• refinement of spatial georeference for the medium- and small-scale maps,
• analysis of the knowledge about the former world,
• location of the incorrectly/inaccurately drawn map regions.
