n-vector is a one-to-one representation, meaning that any surface position corresponds to one unique n-vector, and any n-vector corresponds to one unique surface position. As a Euclidean 3D vector, standard 3D vector algebra can be used for the position calculations, and this makes n-vector well-suited for most horizontal position calculations.
A coordinate system conversion is a conversion from one coordinate system to another, with both coordinate systems based on the same geodetic datum. Common conversion tasks include conversion between geodetic and earth-centered, earth-fixed coordinates and conversion from one type of map projection to another.
Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).
The vector of coordinates forms the coordinate vector or n-tuple (x 1, x 2, …, x n). Each coordinate x i may be parameterized a number of parameters t. One parameter x i (t) would describe a curved 1D path, two parameters x i (t 1, t 2) describes a curved 2D surface, three x i (t 1, t 2, t 3) describes a curved 3D volume of space, and so on.
A map from this sphere to a unit sphere of dimension n − 1 can be constructed by dividing each vector on this sphere by its length to form a unit length vector, which is a point on the unit sphere S n−1. This defines a continuous map from S to S n−1. The index of the vector field at the point is the degree of this map. It can be shown ...
UTM is one such system, dividing the Earth into 60 longitude zones (and with UPS covering the Polar regions). UTM is widely used, and the coordinates approximately corresponds to meters north and east. However, as a set of map-projections it has inherent distortions, and thus most calculations based on UTM will not be exact. The crossing of ...
