- Abstract
We present a computationally simple and inexpensive method to induce coincidence between one map and another, regardless of their respective projections. We imagine the map to be transformed on a rubber sheet stretched to coincide with a stable base map at an average of 15 control points; for more precise coincidence, we add more control points. We compute triangles on the rubber-sheet map, using control points as vertices, and with a procedure called piecewise linear homeomorphism, map these triangles linearly onto corresponding triangles on the stable map.
