Hello I implemented the Albers Equal Area Conic Projection (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AlbersEqual-AreaConicProjection.html). Example: http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albersequalareaconic.jpg Unfortunately I had to change quite a lot in panotool because I needed an additional parameter in the p-line of the input script (the phi2) and also some persistent information for the transformation functions which I both included as array "formatparam" into the Image structure. If still someone is interested: http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albersequalareaconic.diff Example p-line of the input script: p f10 P"60.0" w1024 v360 n"TIFF_m" The P-parameter is the phi2. Michael |

Hi Michael, Thanks for the implementation. WHen I started implementing new projections about 3 weeks ago it was clear that some of them needed an extra parameter. I look at your diff and it looks complex. Would you mind describing what you did? perhaps a description in the form of a ChangeLog would be useful. Also why did you decide to replace "distance" with "distanceparam"? thanks! daniel Michael Gross (adv) twisted the bytes to say: Michael> Hello Michael> I implemented the Albers Equal Area Conic Projection Michael> (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AlbersEqual-AreaConicProjection.html).

Hello I updated the diff file. There were some bugs and also it is now possible to specify both standard parallels in the p-line, for example: p f10 P"60.0 20.0" w1024 v360 n"TIFF_m" I wrote something about the changes in http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albersequalareaconic.txt I use the MakeParams directly as parameter for the transformation functions. With the declared distance-macro it was not possible to use mp->distance. If you have any suggestion, how I could make this parameter-thing better (or less "invasive") I will modify it.

Hi The two parameters are the standard parallels in degrees. The range is=20 from 90=B0 to -90=B0. Along these these parallels there is no angular and= no=20 scale distortion. The ordering of the parameters has no effect. Depending on phi1 and phi2 the shape of the projection is differently=20 curved. You can also make phi1=3Dphi2. When phi1=3Dphi2=3D90 then the=20 projection is circle. With phi1=3Dphi2=3D-90 the projection is also a cir= cle=20 but the other way round (i.e. 90: tripod is in the center, -90: sky is=20 in the center). With phi1=3D-phi2 you get also a circle where the zenith and nadir are=20 both located somewhere in the circle. phi1=3D90, phi2=3D0 gets you a=20 half-circle. A few examples: http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_-90_-90.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_-90_0.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_0_-60.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_0_10.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_0_60.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_90_-90.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_90_0.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_90_90.jpg http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_9_10.jpg yuval levy wrote: > --- "Michael Gross (adv)" <ad...@md...> wrote: >> I wrote something about the changes in >> http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albersequalareaconic.txt >=20 > thanks! to understand it better, I have a couple of > questions: >=20 > P"60.0 20.0" >=20 > are these the two standard parallels? > <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AlbersEqual-AreaConicProjection.html>? >=20 |

Hi Everybody, I like the projection and I will incorporate the code (I just need a few days). It is important also to remember that some projections are special cases of others. For example, oblique projections are a more general projection than "regular ones", but obliques are not necessary because one can rotate the panorama before the projection is made (which is not usually done with the Earth :) In fact, if we allow the specification of the two parallels, the ALbert projection is a general case of the Lamberts (both cylindrical--0,0 I think-- and conic--90,-90). Pablo, what is your opinion in extending the parser with a multi-value parameter? I would think that it will be clearer to have 2 parameters instead of 1. This is because some projections need only one. And this, of course, will affect nona. dmg Michael> Hi Michael> The two parameters are the standard parallels in degrees.

HI Michael, I finally got some time to add your code for the Albers Projection. Would you mind clarifing the following points? 1. I noticed that you use an unlimited number of "internal parameters", in this case 7. I suspect you do it for optimization purposes. Is the idea that some of these parameters can be computed once, instead of in each iteration? In the current implementation albersequalareaconic_paramcheck is called every time albersequalareaconic_erect is called. 2. You seem to interpret North and negative and South as positive angles. For instance, then I provide 0 60 (as in your example below) http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_0_60.jpg I get the opposite to what I would expect: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AlbersEqual-AreaConicProjection.html To get that I need to use parameters 0, -60 http://mdgrosse.net/pano/albers_0_-60.jpg 3. What do you think should be the behaviour if only 1 parameter is given?=20 Thanks a lot! -- daniel =20 Michael> Hi Michael> The two parameters are the standard parallels in degrees.

Its called every time but in the paramcheck-function there is an if: - if formatparamcount == 0 (no parameters are given) then they are set to default values (0, 60). - if formatparamcount == 2 (phi1 and phi2) then all the calculation is done. This results in 7 parameters. - if formatparamcount == 7 then nothing is done. - else an error is returned. So first time the function is called and the formatparamcount is set to 7 and the calculation is not done in any subsequent calls. > 2.

I think you need one function to call that returns all the parameters you need: max vfov, max hfov, number of parms, range of parms, etc. Pablo, I think geographers will thank you endlessly for giving them hugin to play with the way projections work. Too bad Snyder is dead. He would have been very excited with this project. I found his "PRofessional Paper" online: http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/pp/pp1395 It is in a weird format, so you need to download the plugin.

I finally have an answer for you :) They are just different projections. The orientation arch is an bending of the cylindrical. One could see the Albers Conical Equal Area as the bending of a cylindrical equal area. But it will not be possible to generate a ring-like projection with the albers. At least not without some trick.
