This is my interpretation of what I was told to do.
Recommended Python modules are PIL and numpy
-
Get the maximum X and Y coordinates from a plain black image whose dimensions can be estimated using the direct equations of Eckert IV projection. This plain black image will become the new projected map.
-
Use pixel coordinates to get X and Y values such that the center of the image will have coordinates of (0,0).
-
Convert the obtained X and Y coordinates of the black image into lat and longitude coordinates using inverse equation of Eckert IV map projection.
-
Use the obtained lat and long coordinates to extract the pixel coordinates from the original world map provided which is the map image im starting with and will re-project into Eckert IV
I can’t make sense of this no matter how I hard I try. I don’t see the vision to be honest. How would I implement this?
