1 Web Mercator Projection & Raster Tile Maps Annual Conference 2017 Ottawa May 31- June 2, 2017 Two cornerstones of Online Map Service Providers Emmanuel Stefanakis Dept. of Geodesy & Geomatics Engineering University of New Brunswick
2 Online Map Service Providers O Available for ~12 years O Well established (difficult to remember how life was without them) 2
3 Online Map Service Providers 3
4 Online Map Service Providers Challenges? Technological Cartographical 4
5 Online Map Service Providers Framework Request (where/what/resolution) CLIENT HTTP Map Product SERVER Map Service End-users Map Repository (Data+Images) 5
6 Technological Challenges O High and steadily increasing demand O Voluminous data (vectors and images) O Bandwidth limitations O Concurrent access O Security issues O Data protection 6
7 Cartographical Challenges O Visualize the map on Web browser O flat/rectangular monitor O Multi-resolution representation O various zoom levels O Multi-theme mapping O various themes (layers) O Multi-language mapping O various languages 7

13 Conical Projection? 13
14 Conical Projection? 14
15 Cylindrical Projection? 15
16 Cylindrical Projection O Simulation of a cylindrical projection 16
17 Cylindrical Projection O Simulation of a cylindrical projection 17
18 Which Cylindrical? Plate Carree Miller s Mercator 18
19 Mercator Projection O Most popular O Conformal O Easy math (low complexity) O to serve high demand 19
20 Mercator Projection O Conformal O Support navigation in Seas πRcos(φ) < 2πR 2πR φ 2πR 2πR λ Y X 20
21 Mercator Projection 2πR 2πR 21
22 Mercator Projection Scale factor on horizontal (along parallels at φ): 2πRcos(φ) 2πR Mercator s goal preserve shapes/directions 22
23 Mercator Projection Scale factor on horizontal (along parallels at φ): 2πRcos(φ) 2πR Mercator applied Scale factor on vertical (along meridians at φ): 2πRcos(φ) 2πR 23
24 Mercator Projection All parallels have the same length = equator (2πR) φ At latitude φ the scale factor on the parallel is equal to: 2π R 2π Rcosφ secφ 24
25 Mercator Projection φ 2 dn φ 1 Mercator applied the same factor on the parallels The actual distance between two parallels at latitude φ is equal to: dn = R dφ He made it equal to: dn = R secφ dφ 25
26 Mercator Projection By integrating the last formula we get: (sphere) N φ o φ R secφ dφ Rlntan North pole N φ equator South pole 2π R 26
27 Mercator Projection O Spherical Formulas Easting P(φ s, λ s ) Northing P(E s, N s ) Spherical Formulas Sphere 27

33 Web Mercator (vs) Mercator O Mercator basic properties are lost O Non-Conformal O Loxodromes Not straight lines O Rationale (Google) O Simpler calculations O Map to be projected on a computer monitor O No body can notice the differences 33
34 34
35 Criticism O Geodesy Subcommittee of the Oil and Gas Producers (aka EPSG) rejected it in 2008 as technically flawed & an inappropriate geodesy and cartography O National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency of the US Department of Defense declared it as unacceptable for any official use, because a general lack of understanding of its properties has caused considerable confusion and misuse 35
36 A Code for Web Mercator O An unofficial code (GOOGLE spelled with numbers) was initially assigned O Later, EPSG introduced an official identifier: EPSG: WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) 36
37 40,075, Web Mercator Map of the World O Absolute square North O Very convenient in panning, tiling, and indexing South 40,075,
