Johann Heinrich Lambert

In this memoir, J. H. Lambert for the first time formulates desired properties of maps from parts of the sphere to the plane such as to preserve angles or to preserve the proportion of area or to map great circles to lines or circles. He obtains conditions for such maps in terms of differential equations and constructs explicit families of examples some of which have become important tools in modern cartography.

... The dataset contains spatial information for the city of Thessaloniki (latitude ∈ [40.56989, 40.678946] and longitude ∈ [22.880402, 23.014126] 7 ) supporting an accuracy of at least 5 decimal points in terms of latitude and longitude. By taking this into consideration, Lambert's formula [43] translates the accuracy in actual distances to 1.11 meters, meaning that each pixel has spatial coverage of about 1.23 m 2 . This level of detail is unnecessary and superfluous for the purposes of this work. ...
