Claim to Fame: Johann Radon applied the calculus of variations to
differential geometry, leading to applications in number theory.
Mathematically, a projection can be described by the Radon transform,
which is to transform two-dimensional images with lines into a domain
of possible line parameters, where each line in the image will give a
peak positioned at the corresponding line parameters.
