Martin Desruisseaux reopened SIS-553:
-------------------------------------
> 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
> Priority: Major
> 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".
