parallel projection
71Gnomonic projection — The gnomonic map projection displays all great circles as straight lines.Thus the shortest route between two locations in reality corresponds to that on the map. This is achieved by projecting, with respect to the center of the Earth (hence… …
72Embarrassingly parallel — In the jargon of parallel computing, an embarrassingly parallel workload (or embarrassingly parallel problem) is one for which no particular effort is needed to segment the problem into a very large number of parallel tasks, and there is no… …
73Time projection chamber — In physics, a Time Projection Chamber is a particle detector invented by David R. Nygren at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.cite web|url = http://www.er.doe.gov/Lawrence/html/Laureates/1980s/davidr.htm|title = The Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award: 1980 …
74Sinusoidal projection — The sinusoidal projection is a pseudocylindrical equal area map projection, sometimes called the Sanson Flamsteed or the Mercator equal area projection. It is defined by::x = left(lambda lambda 0 ight) cos phi:y = phi,where phi, is the latitude,… …
75Maximum intensity projection — CT visualized by a MIP of a mouse In scientific visualization, a maximum intensity projection (MIP) is a volume rendering method for 3D data that projects in the visualization plane the voxels with maximum intensity that fall in the way of… …
76Optical projection tomography — is a form of tomography involving optical microscopy.[1] It is in many ways the optical equivalent of X Ray Computed Tomography or the medical CT scan. OPT differs in the way that it assumes parallel ray projection as opposed to fan beam… …
77Globular projection — Globular Glob u*lar, a. [Cf. F. globulaire.] Globe shaped; having the form of a ball or sphere; spherical, or nearly so; as, globular atoms. Milton. [1913 Webster] {Globular chart}, a chart of the earth s surface constructed on the principles of… …
78polyconic projection — A map projection that is a combination of separate conic projections drawn for each parallel or latitude. In this projection, the central meridian is a straight line and other meridians are curves concave to the central meridians. Parallels are… …
79orthographic projection — a two dimensional graphic representation of an object in which the projecting lines are at right angles to the plane of the projection. Also called orthogonal projection. Cf. isometric (def. 5). [1660 70] * * * ▪ engineering common method… …
80Mercator projection — n. a method of making maps in which the earth s surface is shown with the meridians as parallel straight lines spaced at equal intervals and the parallels of latitude as parallel straight lines intersecting the meridians at right angles but… …
