projicerad

Projicerad is a Swedish adjective and the past participle of the verb projicera, meaning to project. The term describes something that has been projected or is related to a projection on or onto a surface. It is used across several fields, including optics, geometry, cartography, computer graphics, photography, and film, in both technical and general contexts.

In geometry and visualization, projicerad can refer to the result of a projection operation. For example, a projicerad vy or a projicerad bild describes a view or image obtained by projecting a three‑dimensional scene onto a two‑dimensional plane. This use is common when discussing projections in linear algebra, perspective drawing, or 3D rendering, where objects are mapped from one space to another.

In cartography, the term is often encountered in discussions of map projections, where the surface of a sphere (the Earth) is projected onto a plane. A map described as projicerad is typically the outcome of applying a projection method, such as Mercator or Lambert conformal projection, to a geographic dataset.

In media and display technologies, projicerad describes images or scenes presented by projecting light onto a screen or surface. A projicerad bild is one that has been cast or displayed via a projector, as opposed to being captured directly by a camera or shown on a digital display.

See also: projection, projection matrix, map projection, projection in art and imaging. The term reflects Swedish linguistic usage and is generally understood in contexts involving the transformation or display of objects through a projection process.
