system: these are systems that allow the representation of the near-spherical surface of the Earth on a plan, maintaining some conformities (isogony, equivalence, equidistance etc.): the best known ones are the Geographical, the UTM, the GAUSS-BOAGA, the LAMBERT, some others are the Conical, the Polar, the Stereographic, the Cylindric and the Planar, also variously combined.
The orderly transfer of positions on the surface of a planet to corresponding points on a flat surface, i.e. a map. Since the surface of a sphere cannot be laid flat on a plane without distortion, the process of transformation requires a degree of approximation and simplification.
A way to represent the three-dimensional globe on a two-dimensional map. There are three basic types of projections--cylindrical, conic, and planar. Each type of projection has advantages and disadvantages as a result of the inherent distortion involved in going from 3D to 2D. Cylindrical projections are most often used for navigation, conic projections are mostly used for mid-latitude maps, and planar projects are commonly found represent the polar regions.
The distance between the curtain rod and the surface on which it is mounted. Most single rod setups have a projection of between 3" and 3 1/2". Double rods usually have a projection of between 2" and 3 1/2" for the first rod, and between 4" and 6" for the second rod. Variances in projection depend on rod size, mounting conditions, drapery properties, and personal preference.
Reduction of dimensionality. For example, a 3D image (x/y/z) can be projected into the x/y plane by assigning the maximum intensity that can be found along the z axis at each x/y position to a single projection image. This generates a 2D maximum intensity projection.
Refers to the method which is used to define a map of the globe on a two dimensional paper surface. A number of different projection systems exist, each which tends to emphasize or de - emphasize certain portions of the globe.

The distance that a piece of hardware extends out horizontally from the mounting surface.
The mathematical transformation of three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional (flat) surface. Projection formulae are dependent on a variety of spherical models (spheroids) which distort the spatial characteristics of a location.
A systematic representation of all or part of the surface of a sphere onto a plane.
The curvature of the earth depicted on a flat surface map.
The systematic construction of features (physical and political) on a plane surface to represent corresponding features on a spherical surface.
The mathematical process required to represent the spheroid surface of the earth on a flat map. Project determines how features on the map look and what kind of distortion will be present. Different projections are appropriate for representing large, medium, and small areas on the earth's surface. When mapping a relatively small area, like a county or city, less distortion is apparent on the flat map.
A projection is a representation of one thing onto another, such as a curved 3-dimensional surface (like the Earth) onto a flat 2-dimensional map. A projection is a representation of one thing onto another, such as a curved 3-dimensional surface (like the Earth) onto a flat 2-dimensional map. There are 3 major types of projections, cylindrical, conic, and planar
A map projection is a mathematical transformation of the surface of a sphere (3D) onto a 2D plane. Due to the laws of the universe, each type of projection must make tradeoffs on how and what features it distorts.

The method by which the curved surface of the globe is represented on a flat sheet of paper. There are dozens of different projections for different purposes.
A mapping from a set to a subset of it.
translation of a figure on to a plane or curved surface using straight lines in a systematic way. For example, a spherical surface can be projected on to a plane (the plane of projection) by means of straight lines drawn from all points on the surface to a certain defined point (the point of projection) and marking where they intersect the plane. In a stereographic projection, such as is used for the ordinary astrolabe, points on a containing circle are projected on to an equatorial plane from one pole; in an orthographic projection, such as is used in a Rojas design of universal astrolabe, the point of projection is at infinity and the projection lines are parallel.

"Projection" refers to the distance from the wall a window treatment extends into a room.
Orderly system of lines on a plane representing a corresponding system of imaginary lines on an adopted terrestrial or celestial datum surface. Also, the mathematical concept of such a system.

The distance between the tip of the nose and the facial plane. See associated term rotation.
A method of representing the earth's three-dimensional surface as a flat two-dimensional surface. This normally involves a mathematical model that transforms the locations of features on the earth's surface to locations on a two-dimensional surface. Because the earth is three-dimensional, some method must be used to depict the map in two dimensions. Therefore, such representations distort some parameter of the earth's surface, be it distance, area, shape, or direction. There are a variety of map projections, but all are generally of three basic types; these are the Azimuthal, conical and cylindrical projections. For example, the Transverse Mercator Projection is a variant of the cylindrical projection. A more complete explanation is available in the Standards Section.
