REVISITING THE PROJECTIVE PROPERTIES OF HISTORIC

Analytical methods for the investigation of the possible projective properties of historic nautical maps with emphasis on the Mediterranean and the Aegean basin representations are proposed especially in view of the new digital processing techniques offered by the raster-wise analyses. A general layout for the design of the problem is presented and alternative scenarios are used in order detect some properties which could be used in order to draw conclusions or indications related to the projective origin or the projection compliance of the historic nautical maps.
