A detailed study on Equi7Grid's scientific background is published in this journal article.

The paper's key findings are:

  • High resolution satellite remote sensing delivers unprecedented and evergrowing data volumes.
  • Efficient spatial data handling is dependent on suitable map projections.
  • The introduced Grid Oversampling Factor (GOF) estimates local data oversampling.
  • Remarkably, equidistant projections are more suitable than equal-area.
  • A global system of continental subgrids oversamples with only 2% (suggesting the Equi7Grid).
