             Summary: 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
             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".
