---------------------------------------
Summary: Add "Pseudo sinusoidal equal area" projection
Key: SIS-553
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-553
Project: Spatial Information Systems
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Referencing
Affects Versions: 1.2
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
Fix For: 1.3
Apache SIS 1.0 already supports the "Sinusoidal equal area" projection with
spherical and ellipsoidal formulas. But some remote sensing data appear to be
using something more similar to Google "Pseudo-Mercator" projection: they use
spherical formulas and apply the result on WGS84 ellipsoid instead of a sphere.
For supporting those remote sensing data, we need a "Pseudo sinusoidal equal
are" projection.
Note that this is not the same thing than using the sinusoidal projection on a
sphere, in the same way that "Pseudo Mercator" projection is not the same as
"Spherical Mercator" projection.
I'm not aware of a name for this projection. The "Pseudo sinusoidal" name
proposal is by analogy with "Pseudo Mercator".
