Efficient Earth Observation Data Visualization Using Dual Orthogonal Equidistant Cylindrical Projection

Earth observation (EO) data have seen a constant surge in volume, necessitating efficient storage, retrieval, and sharing mechanisms. Cartographic projections play a vital role in transforming spheroidal surface data into two-dimensional representations, albeit with distortions. The Dual Orthogonal Equidistant Cylindrical (DOEC) projection offers a balance between simplicity and distortion, making it a promising choice for EO data storage and visualization. This paper explores various methods for raster geodata visualization in DOEC projection, addressing challenges of partitioning, distortion, and visualization techniques. Through experimental comparisons, the paper demonstrates the efficiency of these methods, highlighting their applicability in EO data processing and visualization systems.
