• Geodetic Datum Transformations.
• D, geodetic system specialist, Space Imaging, Thornton, Colo.
• In the last issue, we discussed geodetic datums and their impact on mapping and geographic information system (GIS) accuracy (see "Geodetic Datums," Imaging NOTES, November/ December 1999, page 12). In this issue, we'll examine transforming data from one geodetic datum to another.
• Suppose you have digital elevation model (DEM) data on North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27), topographic maps on North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and a final product needing to be on World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84). ...
• Mathematically, a geodetic horizontal datum is defined by a reference ellipsoid and its position and orientation to the Earth Centered Earth Fixed System (ECEF) terrestrial reference frame (Figure 1). ...
• Geodetic Horizontal Datum.
• In the physical sense, a geodetic datum is defined by a set of geodetic control points and their coordinates. ... Such distortions are especially significant in old geodetic datums, such as NAD 27, which were established with relatively inaccurate survey methods.
• On the other hand, most of the old local geodetic datums (e. ...
• In addition, due to accuracy limitations of old survey techniques, the geodetic control point coordinates physically defining the local datums, such as NAD 27, exhibit significant local distortions. ...
• In general, two types of geodetic datum transformations exist. ...
• If either the source datum or target datum (or both) are local datums established with astronomical observations and traditional survey techniques, you'll need to consider local distortions due to nonuniform accuracy of the datum defining geodetic control points. ... For applications requiring higher accuracy, you'll need an interpolation grid, such as the NADCON grid, which is computed from NAD 83-NAD 27 coordinate differences of thousands of geodetic reference points. ...
• , triangulation) could only determine the geodetic control points' horizontal coordinates, or latitudes and longitudes. ...
• In summary, to preserve positional accuracy of source data when transforming to a different geodetic horizontal datum, you must apply appropriate datum transformation methodology. ...

• Modern geodetic datums range from flat-earth models used for plane surveying to complex models used for international applications which completely describe the size, shape, orientation, gravity field, and angular velocity of the earth.
