Phrases 40
- projection matrixA transformation matrix whose associated transformation is a projection.
- rear projectionSynonym of back projection: A cinematic technique in which live action is filmed in front of a screen on which the background action or a background scene is projected.
- map projectionAny systematic method of transforming the spherical representation of parallels, meridians and geographic features of the Earth's surface to a nonspherical surface, usually a plane.
- astral projectionThe ability to deliberately detach one's mind, or a ghost-like replica of one's body (one's astral body), from one's physical body and to send it to distant places or into alternate realities or into people's dreams.
- back projectionA cinematic technique in which live action is filmed in front of a screen on which the background action or a background scene is projected.
- front projectionA cinematic technique in which live action is filmed in front of a highly reflective screen, so that the background image is projected onto both the performer and the screen with the help of a one-way mirror angled at 45 degrees.
- stereographic projectionA function that maps a sphere onto a plane; especially, the map generated by projecting each point of the sphere from the sphere's (designated) north pole to a point on the plane tangent to the south pole.
- power projectionIn international relations, the capacity of a state to deploy and sustain forces outside its territory.
- Robinson projectionA map projection that is neither equal-area nor conformal, designed as a compromise to show the entire world as a flat image.
- Mercator projectionAn orthomorphic map projection, in which meridians appear at right-angles to the equator, and lines of latitude are horizontal lines whose distance from each other increases with distance from the equator.
- Hammer projectionA certain map projection intended to reduce distortion in the regions of the outer meridians, where it is extreme in the Mollweide projection.
- oblique projectionA simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects.
- Fischer projectionA two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection, used mainly in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
- first angle projectionA method of technical drawing where the front view of the object is placed in the first quadrant, the side view is to the left, and the top view is below it. (More common in Europe and Asia.)
- third angle projectionA method of technical drawing where the front view of the object is placed in the third quadrant, the side view is to the right, and the top view is above it. (More common in North America.)
- Werner projectionA pseudoconic cordiform equal-area map projection that is a limiting form of the Bonne projection, having its standard parallel at one of the poles (90°N/S).
- Bonne projectionA kind of pseudoconical equal-area map projection.
- Haworth projectionA kind of three-dimensional projection used to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides.
- isometric projectionAn axonometric projection in which the three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angle between any two of them is 120 degrees.
- Albers projectionA conic equal-area map projection that uses two standard parallels.
- Eckert projectionAny of six related pseudocylindrical map projections having the latitudes as parallel lines, and distinguished by the shapes of the meridians.
- Gall-Peters projectionA form of cylindric equal-area map projection.
- Bottomley projectionA kind of equal-area map projection, intended as an alternative to the Bonne projection that would reduce the extent of extreme distortion at the edges and give a more satisfying overall shape.
- calligraphic projectionA system for displaying or projecting an image composed of a beam of light or electrons directly tracing the image, as opposed to sweeping in raster order over the entire display surface.
- Littrow projectionA map projection that is conformal and retroazimuthal.
