The Equidistant Polar Mapping (EPM) of the ellipsoid-of-revolution is summarized in
Lemma 8.10 , which is based upon the direct mapping equations, its left principal stretches,
the left eigenvectors, the left maximal angular distortion, and the inverse mapping equations that
are collected in Box 8.5 .
Lemma 8.10 (Equidistant Polar Mapping (EPM), equidistant mapping of the ellipsoid-of-
revolution to the tangential plane at the North Pole).
The equidistant mapping of the spheroid to the tangential plane at the North Pole of an oblate
ellipsoid-of-revolution, in short, Equidistant Polar Mapping (EPM) , is parameterized by
x = f ( Δ )cos Λ, y = f ( Δ )sin Λ,
(8.44)
subject to the left Cauchy-Green eigenspace
. The radial function r = f ( Δ )that
represents the meridian arc length from the North Pole to a point on the meridian Λ = constant
is given either in the form of an elliptic integral of the second kind or in the series expansion of
Box 8.5 .
