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).
