- map projectionsplural of map projection: Any 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.
- Fischer projectionsplural of Fischer projection: A two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional organic molecule by projection, used mainly in organic chemistry and biochemistry.
- back projectionsplural 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.
- Hammer projectionsplural of Hammer projection: A certain map projection intended to reduce distortion in the regions of the outer meridians, where it is extreme in the Mollweide projection.
- power projectionsplural of power projection: In international relations, the capacity of a state to deploy and sustain forces outside its territory.
- rear projectionsplural of rear 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.
- Robinson projectionsplural of Robinson projection: A map projection that is neither equal-area nor conformal, designed as a compromise to show the entire world as a flat image.
- oblique projectionsplural of oblique projection: A simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects.
- Werner projectionsplural of Werner projection: A 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).
- first angle projectionsplural of first angle projection: A 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 projectionsplural of third angle projection: A 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.)
- astral projectionsplural of astral projection: The 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 …

- van der Grinten projectionsplural of van der Grinten projection: A compromise map projection that is neither equal-area nor conformal, but projects the entire world onto a circle.
