1、Unit14 Datums, Coordinates and Conversions （已知坐標(biāo)轉(zhuǎn)換）A datum is the mathematical model of the Earth we use to calculate the coordinates and elevations on any map , chart, or survey system . Geodetic datum s define the size and shape of the Earth and the origin and orientation of the coordinate systems

2、 used to map the Earth . Hundreds of different datum s have been used to frame position descriptions since the first estimates of the Earths size were made by Aristotle . But all coordinates reference some particular set of numbers for the size and shape of the Earth . For example, the Global Positi

3、oning System (GPS) is based on the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) . Many countries use their own datums when they make their maps and surveyswhat we call local datums .（基準(zhǔn)是我們用來(lái)計(jì)算任何地圖、海圖或測(cè)量系統(tǒng)的坐標(biāo)和海拔的地球的數(shù)學(xué)模型。大地測(cè)量數(shù)據(jù)定義了地球的大小和形狀，以及用于映射地球的坐標(biāo)系的起源和方向。數(shù)以百計(jì)的不同的數(shù)據(jù)已被用于幀位置描述，因?yàn)榈谝淮喂烙?jì)地球的大小是由亞里士多德。但是所有坐標(biāo)都引用了地球的

4、大小和形狀的一些特定的數(shù)字集。例如，全球定位系統(tǒng)（GPS）是基于世界大地測(cè)量系統(tǒng)1984（WGS-84）。許多國(guó)家使用自己的數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)，他們使他們的地圖和調(diào)查，我們稱(chēng)之為局部基準(zhǔn)。）Horizontal and Vertical Datums（水平和垂直數(shù)據(jù)）In geodesy two types of datums must be considered: a“ Horizontal Datum ”for location ,which for m s the basis for the computations of horizontal control surveys in which th

5、e curvature of the Earth is considered and a“ Vertical Datum ”for elevation or to which elevations are referred . Vertical control networks provide elevations with reference to a surface of constant gravity force called the geoid . Almost all maps and charts use mean sea level (geoid) for elevation

6、. But they might use any of over hundred different horizontal position datums . One example of horizontal datum is a mathematical surface called a reference ellipsoid with which positional information (latitude and longitude) is referenced to . T he coordinates for points in specific geodetic survey

7、s and triangulation networks are computed from certain initial quantities (datums) . Sometimes, a map will have more than one grid on it .Normally,each grid is for a different datum .（在大地測(cè)量中的兩種基準(zhǔn)必須考慮：“水平面”位置，為M S為基礎(chǔ)，計(jì)算平面控制測(cè)量中，被認(rèn)為是地球的曲率和“垂直基準(zhǔn)”，海拔高程或被稱(chēng)。垂直控制網(wǎng)絡(luò)提供海拔參考的表面重力稱(chēng)為大地水準(zhǔn)面的恒定重力。幾乎所有的地圖和海圖都使用平均海平面（

In a

9、 horizontal datum a reference ellipsoid is used as a mathematical approximation of the shape of the Earth . Five parameters are required to define a horizontal datum : two to specify the dimensions of the ellipsoid, two to specify the location of an initial point ( origin ) , and one to specify the

10、orientation (i .e ., north) of the coordinate system . For exa m ple , the radius and flattening of the ellipsoid selected for the computations to specify the dimensions of the ellipsoid , the longitude and latitude of an initial point ( origin ) to specify the location and an azimuth of a line ( di

11、rection ) to so m e other (triangulation ) station to specify the orientation . A change in any of these quantities affects every point on the datum . For this reason , while positions within a system are directly and accurately reliable, data such as distance and azimuth derived from computations i

12、nvolving geodetic positions on different datum s will be in error in proportion to the difference in the initial quantities .（水平基準(zhǔn)和坐標(biāo)：水平基準(zhǔn)面是恒定值的表面，是水平控制測(cè)量計(jì)算的基礎(chǔ)。在水平基準(zhǔn)面中，參考橢球用作地球形狀的數(shù)學(xué)近似。需要五個(gè)參數(shù)來(lái)定義一個(gè)水平基準(zhǔn)：兩個(gè)指定的橢球的尺寸，兩個(gè)指定的初始點(diǎn)（原點(diǎn)）的位置，和一個(gè)指定的坐標(biāo)系的取向（北，北）。為例子說(shuō)明，半徑和橢球選擇指定橢圓的尺寸計(jì)算壓扁，經(jīng)度和緯度的初始點(diǎn)（原點(diǎn)）指定的位置和線(xiàn)的方位（方向），M

In 1986 , NAD83 replaced NAD27 because the latter was

14、found to be not accurate enough to support modern positioning activities that occur in highly accurate electronic measurement system s and satellitebased positioning system s . NAD83 is an earth-centered datum and relies on an ellipsoid (and other constants) of the Geodetic Reference System of 1980

15、( G RS80 ) . It is important to note that GPS position calculations are based on the WGS84 datum ( World Geodetic System of 1984 ) , which for all practical purposes is identical to GRS80 . In China , Xian Geodetic Coordinate System 1980 is used as a horizontal datum in which the initial point ( ori

17、d heights: The zero surface , to which elevations or heights are referred ,is called a vertical datum . From previous text we know the geoid is an equipotential surface of the Earth gravity field that most closely approximates the mean sea surface . At everypoint the geoid surface is perpendicular t

18、o the local plumb line . It is therefore a natural reference for heights measured along the plumb line . Heights referred to the geoid are called orthometric heights , which stand in contrast to geodetic (ellipsoidal) heights, which refer to the ellipsoid . Because we cannot directly see the geoid s

19、urface, we cannot actually measure the heights above or below the geoid surface . We must infer where this surface is by making gravity measurements and by modeling it mathematically . For practical purposes , we assume that at the coastline the geoid and the MSL surfaces are essentially the same .

20、Nevertheless, as we move inland we measure heights relative to the zero height at the coast, which in effect means relative to MSL . Therefore w e use mean sea level as a plane upon which w e can reference or describe the heights of features on , above or below the ground .（垂直基準(zhǔn)面和高程：被稱(chēng)為高程或高程的零曲面稱(chēng)為垂直

22、levations are not required for most parcel mapping applications . However, since GPS is a 3D ( actually 4D ) measuring device, elevations are available for every point . As mentioned earlier, the GPS-derived elevation refers to the ellipsoid ( ellipsoidal height) , not the mean sea level (orthometri

A grid shift exists between datum s because each datum has a different origin .(但是在一個(gè)基準(zhǔn)面上，地球表面上某個(gè)點(diǎn)的坐標(biāo)與另一個(gè)基準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)的坐標(biāo)不匹配。差異時(shí)，因?yàn)椴煌臋E球我們 和每個(gè)基準(zhǔn)橢球的中心相對(duì)于地球中心的方向不同的概率?；鶞?zhǔn)面之間存在網(wǎng)格偏移，因?yàn)槊總€(gè)數(shù)據(jù)具有不同的 聯(lián)發(fā)。)A datum conversion is the process of bringing coordinate values referenced to one defined datum

Some distortions of conformality , distance , direction , scale, and area always result from this process . Some

30、projections minimize distortions in some of these properties at the expense of maximizing errors in others . So m e projections are attempts to only mode rately distort all of these properties . No projection can be simultaneously conformal and area-preserving .(地圖投影是在平面上描繪地球或部分地球表面的投影。保形、距離、方向、規(guī)模和地

36、ojections result from projecting a spherical surface onto a cylinder . A cylindrical projection can be imagined in its simplest for m as a cylinder that has been wrapped around a globe at the equator . If the graticule of latitude and longitude are projected onto the cylinder and the cylinder un w r

T he meridians of longitude would be equally spaced and the parallels of latitude would re main parallel but m ay not appear equally spaced any more . In reality cylindrical map projections are not so simply

38、constructed . The three aspects of the cylindrical projections are as follows:(柱面投影是將球面投影到圓柱體上的結(jié)果。一個(gè)圓柱投影可以想象的最簡(jiǎn)單的M作為一個(gè)圓柱體已被包裹在一個(gè)地球 赤道。如果經(jīng)度和緯度的經(jīng)緯網(wǎng)投影到圓柱和圓柱非W敲擊，然后網(wǎng)格狀的經(jīng)度和緯度的直線(xiàn)模式研究 ULT。經(jīng)度的經(jīng)度是相等的，緯度的平行度是平行的，但不會(huì)出現(xiàn)同樣的距離。實(shí)際上柱面投影是 不是那么簡(jiǎn)單的構(gòu)造。圓柱投影的三個(gè)方面如下：) Tangent or secant to equator is termed regular , or no

When the cone is tangent to the sphere contact is along a small circle . In the secant case , the cone touches the sphere al

43、ong two lines, one a great circle, the other a small circle . In the Conical Projection the graticule is projected onto a cone tangent, or secant, to the globe along any small circle ( usually a mid-latitude parallel) . In the nor m al aspect ( which is oblique for conic projections), parallels are

44、projected as concentric arcs of circles, and meridians are projected as straight lines radiating at uniform angular intervals fro m the apex of the flattened cone .Conic projections are not widely used in mapping because of their relatively small zone of reasonable accuracy . The secant case , which

45、 produces two standard parallels , is more frequently used with conics . Even then , the scale of the map rapidly becomes distorted as distance from the correctly represented standard parallel increases . Because of this problem ,conic projections are best suited for maps of mid-latitude regions, es

46、pecially those elongated in an east- west direction . The United States meets these qualifications and therefore is frequently mapped on conic projections .(球面投影到圓錐上的圓錐投影結(jié)果。當(dāng)圓錐體與球面相切時(shí)，接觸點(diǎn)是一個(gè)小圓圈。在割線(xiàn)的情況下，圓錐體接觸球體 翁兩行，一一大圈，另一小圈。在圓錐投影的經(jīng)緯網(wǎng)投影到圓錐切線(xiàn)或割線(xiàn)，在小繞地球（通常是一個(gè)mid-l 緯度平行）。在不平行的方面（斜向圓錐投影），平行線(xiàn)被投影為圓的同心圓弧，子午線(xiàn)

50、eter mine: Location , Size and Shape . These three things determine where the area to be mapped falls in relation to the distortion pattern of any projection. One“traditional”rule described by Maling ( Maling , 1992 ) says:(選擇一個(gè)投影是阻止我的：位置，大小和形狀。這三件事決定要映射的區(qū)域與任何投影的變形模式有關(guān)。一個(gè)“傳統(tǒng)”的規(guī)則描述的Maling（馬嶺，1992）說(shuō)：)
