The GDAL/Proj.4 community has raised $142,000 for improving the map projection library behind major Open Source geospatial softwares. The issues to be fixed require an architectural change. Proj.4 is moving away from the early-binding approach (where WGS 84 is used as a pivot system) to a late-binding approach (with no fixed pivot system and […]
Apache SIS

Il s’agit de représenter une surface courbe (la Terre) sur une surface plane (une carte ou un écran d’ordinateur) en contrôlant les déformations: on peut préserver les angles ou les surfaces, mais pas les deux à la fois. Les […]
