conformal projection

(Askeri) KONFORMAL PROJEKSİYON: Haritanın bütünü üzerinde ölçek değişmesi pahasına küçük coğrafi arızaların şeklini aynen muhafaza eden harita projeksiyonu. Bu usulde paralel ve boylam daireleri birbirine dikey olur böylece büyük coğrafi arızaların biçimlerinde değişiklik meydana gelir

Definition of conformal in English English dictionary

Describing a map projection which has the property of preserving relative angles over small scales (except at a limited number of distinct points). On such map projections the scale depends only location but not direction. Also referred to as orthomorphic

Describing something that conforms, especially that matches the shape of something

(of a map or a mathematical mapping) preserving the correct angles between directions within small areas (though distorting distances)

(Mathematics) Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged

Of or relating to a map projection in which small areas are rendered with true shape

The shape of the continents and directions (north, south, east, west) are correct and the size is distorted Navigators and surveyors use conformal maps because they need true shape and direction

A map projection that has the property of true shape (conformality) See Chapter 6

A map projection is conformal, orthomorphic or equiangular when at any point the scale is the same in every direction, and the shapes of small areas are preserved An example is, the Lambert Conformal Conic Projection

Angle-preserving or angle-defining The Mercator map is a conformal map of the Earth because angles are true A conformal structure on a manifold defines angles between curves segments on the manifold but not their lengths

a map or map projection that has the property of conformality, or true shape conformality - the property of a map projection to represent true shape, wherein a projection preserves the shape of any small geographical area This is accomplished by exact transformation of angles around points

conformal mapping

A mapping, between points of one coordinate system and another, in which the angles of intersection between pairs of curves are preserved

conformal optics

A method of designing optical systems in which the conformation of the lenses is chosen to optimize its interaction with the local environment

conformal geometry

(Geometri) Conformal geometry is the study of the set of angle-preserving (conformal) transformations on a Riemannian manifold or pseudo-Riemannian manifold. In particular conformal geometry in two (real) dimensions is the geometry of Riemann surfaces

conformal map

In mathematics, a transformation of one graph into another in such a way that the angle of intersection of any two lines or curves remains unchanged. The most common example is the Mercator map, a two-dimensional representation of the surface of the earth that preserves compass directions. Other conformal maps, sometimes called orthomorphic projections, preserve angles but not shapes
