On conformal geospatial transformations with complex polynomials; pp. 65–70

Abstract

We consider conformal reprojections of geographic information system data with complex polynomials as compared to reprojections with commercial software packages. We show that in regular cases low-degree complex polynomials can be effectively used instead of sophisticated software packages. In less regular cases the ambiguities arising from other sources make the application of standard transforms problematic.

Keywords

cartography, conformal mappings, complex polynomials.
