  2. Isochrone map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochrone_map

    Isochrone map showing drive times around airports in northern Finland, created using GIS software (2011) An isochrone map in geography and urban planning is a map that depicts the area accessible from a point within a certain time threshold. [1] An isochrone (iso = equal, chrone = time) is defined as "a line drawn on a map connecting points at ...

  3. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity. Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations. The history of an object's location through time traces out a line or ...

  4. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

    The Mercator projection (/ mərˈkeɪtər /) is a conformal cylindrical map projection first presented by Flemish geographer and mapmaker Gerardus Mercator in 1569. In the 18th century, it became the standard map projection for navigation due to its property of representing rhumb lines as straight lines.

  5. Distance transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_transform

    Distance transform. A distance transform, also known as distance map or distance field, is a derived representation of a digital image. The choice of the term depends on the point of view on the object in question: whether the initial image is transformed into another representation, or it is simply endowed with an additional map or field.

  6. Friction of distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_of_distance

    Friction of distance. Friction of distance is a core principle of geography that states that movement incurs some form of cost, in the form of physical effort, energy, time, and/or the expenditure of other resources, and that these costs are proportional to the distance traveled. This cost is thus a resistance against movement, analogous (but ...

  7. Light-year - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-year

    The largest unit for expressing distances across space at that time was the astronomical unit, equal to the radius of the Earth's orbit at 150 million kilometres (93 million miles). In those terms, trigonometric calculations based on 61 Cygni's parallax of 0.314 arcseconds, showed the distance to the star to be 660,000 astronomical units (9.9 ...

  8. Azimuthal equidistant projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_equidistant...

    An azimuthal equidistant projection about the South Pole extending all the way to the North Pole. Emblem of the United Nations containing a polar azimuthal equidistant projection. The azimuthal equidistant projection is an azimuthal map projection. It has the useful properties that all points on the map are at proportionally correct distances ...

  9. Genetic distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_distance

    Figure 1: Genetic distance map by Cavalli-Sforza et al. (1994) [1] Genetic distance is a measure of the genetic divergence between species or between populations within a species, whether the distance measures time from common ancestor or degree of differentiation. [2] Populations with many similar alleles have small genetic distances.
