Instructions for Use
Perform a Projection Transformation on the Source Dataset according to the Target Coordinate System, and the result will directly change the Projected Coordinate System of the Source Dataset. Currently, only coordinate system conversion is supported for Vector Dataset.
The Parameter Settings for the tool vary depending on the Projection Transformation Method you set. The Projection Transformation method can be generally divided into a three-parameter transformation method and a seven-parameter transformation method:
- Three-parameter conversion method
When the frame of reference is converted, a relatively simple conversion method is the so-called three-parameter conversion method. This transformation method is based on the mathematical model that only the coordinate origin of the space has been translated between the two Geodetic Reference System, without considering other factors (see Figure 1). This method inevitably produces three parameters, the translation of X, Y and Z directions. The three-parameter transformation method is simple in calculation, but low in accuracy, and is generally used for the transformation between different geocentric Space Rectangular Coordinates.
- Seven-parameter conversion method
The mathematical model based on the seven-parameter method considers not only the translation of the coordinate system, but also the rotation of the coordinate system and the different scales. Therefore, in addition to the three translation quantities, three rotation parameters (also known as three Euler angles) and Scale Factor (also known as Scale Factor) are required. The conversion principle is shown in Figure 2. The three translation quantities are represented by ΔX, ΔY and ΔZ, the three rotation Transformation Parameters are represented by Rx, Ry and Rz, and the Scale Factor is represented by S. Where Scale Factor represents the amount of scaling from the original coordinate system to the new coordinate system. In general, the unit of translation factor is meter (consistent with Unit), the unit of Rotation angle is second, and the units are one in a million. Of Scale Factor.
geocentric transformation (the Geocentric Translation), Molodensky transformation, The simplified Molodensky Abridged transformation method belongs to the Projection Transformation method with lower accuracy. The three-parameter transformation method requires three translation Transformation Parameters (ΔX, ΔY, ΔZ), and the Molodensky transformation method and the simplified Molodensky transformation method also require three translation Transformation Parameters (ΔX, ΔY, ΔZ). In the case of low data accuracy requirements, these methods can generally be used.
Position Vector method, Coordinate Frame method and Bursa-Wolf method are the methods with high precision. Seven parameters are required for adjustment and transformation, including three translational Transformation Parameters (.DELTA.X.DELTA.Y.DELTA.Z), three rotational Transformation Parameters (Rx, Ry, Rz), and a scale parameter (S). These methods are exactly the same, but due to different countries, regions or schools of measurement, the customary appellation is different.
In practical work, which conversion method is used depends on the specific situation. The satisfactory result of the transformation depends on the setting of the Transformation Parameters. Transformation Parameters can be obtained from official measurement agencies and data providers, or can be measured and calculated. The suitability of the Transformation Parameters must be determined by the presence of control points in both frames of reference.

It is applicable to Coordinate Transformation of control points between geodetic Coordinate Systems under different earth ellipsoid datum of 3 degrees and above of national and provincial ellipsoid. The model involves three translation parameters, three rotation parameters and one scale change parameter, and at the same time, it needs to take into account the two major semi-axes of the earth ellipsoid and the flattening difference corresponding to the two geodetic coordinate systems. |

It is applicable to national and provincial Coordinate Transformation of control points between geodetic Coordinate Systems under different earth ellipsoid datum of 3 degrees and above. The model involves three translation parameters, three rotation parameters and one scale variation parameter. For the transformation from Beijing Coordinate System 1954 and Xi'an Coordinate System 1980 to China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000, it is suggested to adopt the two-dimensional seven-parameter transformation because of the low accuracy of the geodetic height under the two reference-centered systems. |
