Analysis of the map projection of maps in 17th century

Analysis of the map projection of world maprs in the 17th century Abstract Bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of map projections and the estimation of their parameters (i.e, the constant values of projections) of early maps from the 17th century. The aim of the thesis is to find and evaluate the most commonly used projections for the planisphere, hemispheres and large territories. The introduction is focused on the development of map projections throughout history and their general classification, together with the overview of specific projections well known within the 17th century. A general description of the projection analysis methodology that was practically implemented in the software detectproj, is presented. The research part includes a detailed description and summarization of the results of analysis of the selected maps divided into several categories (according to the extent of the mapped area). Finally, the projections used and their parameters across each category together with the short explanation are summarized.
