Spherical or Equirectangular projection 等距圆柱投影/球面投影
The equirectangular projection (also called the equidistant cylindrical projection, geographic projection, or la carte parallélogrammatique projection, and which includes the special case of the plate carrée projection or geographic projection)
也称为简化圆柱投影、等距圆柱投影、矩形投影或普通圆柱投影(如果标准纬线是赤道)
While such maps are rarely used in cartography, they are very popular in computer graphics since it is the standard way of texture mapping a sphere.....hence the popularity of maps of the Earth as shown above.
最适合城市地图或其他面积小的地区,地图比例尺可足够大以降低明显变形。用于以最少的地理数据简单绘制世界或地区地图。因此,此投影适用于索引地图。
NASA的worldwind也采用这种投影。
Equirectangular projection(ERP)是一种简单的投影方式,将经线映射为恒定间距的垂直线,将纬线映射为恒定间距的水平线。这种投影方式映射关系简单,但既不是等面积的也不是保角的,引入了相当大的失真。
osgEarth要实现这种现实,其earth文件需如此配置:
<map name="MBTiles" type="projected" version="2">
<options>
<terrain driver="rex"/>
<profile>eqc-wgs84</profile>
</options>
<image name="Sample MBTiles Database" driver="mbtiles">
<filename>world_countries.mbtiles</filename>
</image>
</map>
效果图如下:
