Slide : 1 Dinesh Manandhar, CSIS, The University of Tokyo, [email protected] Geodetic Coordinate System

Satellite

Pole Semi Minor Axis User at P(x, y, z)

Ellipsoid Surface Normal Vector to Ellipsoid at Point P

Semi Major Axis Geodetic at P

Equator Semi Major Axis

Geodetic at P

Slide : 2 Dinesh Manandhar, CSIS, The University of Tokyo, [email protected] ECEF ( Centered, Earth Fixed)

ECEF Coordinate System is expressed by assuming the center of the earth coordinate as (0, 0, 0)

P (X, Y, Z)

(0, 0, 0)

Equator

Slide : 3 Dinesh Manandhar, CSIS, The University of Tokyo, [email protected] Coordinate Conversion from ECEF to Geodetic and vice versa

Geoid Surface MSL

Topographic Height (H) = Ellipsoidal Height (h) - Geoid Height (N) • Geoid Model is based on Gravitation Measurement • In USA, Ellipsoid is above Geoid • Other Continents, Geoid is above Ellipsoid Slide : 5 Dinesh Manandhar, CSIS, The University of Tokyo, [email protected] : Geometric Earth Model WGS-84 Geodetic Datum Ellipsoidal Parameters Semi-Minor Axis, b = 6356752.3142m Pole Semi-Major Axis, a = 6378137.0m Flattening, f = (a-b)/a = 1/298.257223563
