Introduction
This set of VI's can be used to convert geographical polar coordinates into cartesian coordinates and vice versa.
Earth models like WGS84, Hayford and Bessel1841 are offered.
The algorithm of J. Klotz, published in
"Eine analytische Lösung der Gauss-Krüger-Abbildung",
Zeitschrift für Vermessungswesen 118 (1993) 3, pages 106...116
is used
This method also delivers near by poles of earth quite precise results !
geo2gkk Convert polar coordinates into cartesian coordinates
gkk2geo Convert cartesian coordinates into polar coordinates (reverse operation to geo2kk)
geo2gkn Convert polar coordinates in meridional stripe based cartesian coordinates (stripe nuber is returned as output)
gkn2geo Convert meridional stripe based cartesian coordinates into polar coordinates
gkn2gkn Convert meridional stripe based cartesian into cartesian coordinates related to another target merid. stripe
Steps to Complete
Copy all the VI's into a user.lib-subdirectory. That's it.
Additional Notes
The coordinates are specified as complex values.
For polar coordinates: Real part represents longitude [°], imaginary part latitude [°].
Cartesian Coordinates: Real part represents Right value , imaginary part the Height value (has nothing to do with height over ground !)
All VI's should run in base versions. No Mathscript nodes have been used !
VI's are programmed in state diagram manner.
Used Labview-Version: 8.6.1
