The transformed image in geographical analysis
TLDR
This paper discusses algorithms employed in their compilation, presents a new algorithm for this purpose, and demonstrates several applications of transformed images in geographical research by contrasting transformed images compiled according to traditional and new methods.Abstract:
This paper is devoted to the problem of compiling and using transformed images in geographic research. It discusses algorithms employed in their compilation, presents a new algorithm for this purpose, and demonstrates several applications of transformed images in geographical research (by contrasting transformed images compiled according to traditional and new methods).read more

Piecewise Linear Rubber-Sheet Map Transformation
Marvin S. White,Patricia Griffin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method to induce coincidence between one map and another, regardless of their respective projections, by transforming the map to a rubber sheet stretched to coincide with a stable base map at an average of 15 control points.

Transformations of maps to investigate clusters of disease.
TL;DR: An approach is presented to display and analyze epidemiologic data using population density equalized maps (cartograms) using data obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results project for San Francisco City/County and combined with 1980 U.S. Census data.
