Scientific Project "Cartography and GIS"

Institute for Cartography, Faculty of Geodesy, University of Zagreb, staff and several collaborators from other institutions, did the research on the scientific project Cartography and GIS from 1991-96. Some research findings are presented. The theory of map projections based on analytical geometry, linear algebra and differential geometry has been developed and directed to an immediate computer applicatiopn. A modification of Gilberts map projection has been suggested. The determination of parts of Croatia using digitized points from the map at the scale 1:1000000 has been presented. For affine transformation of coordinates between the old coordinates systems of Croatian territory and the Gauss-Kruger map projection systems, a STASUH computer program has been written. To eliminate distortions, i.e. transform map contents into its theoretical dimensions, the CARTOMATHICS system has been developed.
