  • Datum Transformations of GPS Positions Application Note
    µ-blox ag Gloriastrasse 35 CH-8092 Zürich Switzerland http://www.u-blox.ch Datum Transformations of GPS Positions Application Note 5th July 1999 1 ECEF Coordinate System The Cartesian coordinate frame of reference used in GPS is called Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF). ECEF uses three-dimensional XYZ coor- dinates (in meters) to describe the location of a GPS user or satellite. The term "Earth-Centered" comes from the fact that the origin of the axis (0,0,0) is located at the mass center of gravity (determined through years of tracking satellite trajectories). The term "Earth-Fixed" implies that the axes are fixed with respect to the earth (that is, they rotate with the earth). The Z-axis pierces the North Pole, and the XY-axis defines Figure 1: ECEF Coordinate Reference Frame the equatorial plane. (Figure 1) ECEF coordinates are expressed in a reference system that is related to mapping representa- tions. Because the earth has a complex shape, a simple, yet accurate, method to approximate the earth’s shape is required. The use of a reference ellipsoid allows for the conversion of the ECEF coordinates to the more commonly used geodetic-mapping coordinates of Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude (LLA). Geodetic coordinates can then be converted to a second map reference known as Mercator Projections, where smaller regions are projected onto a flat mapping surface (that is, Universal Transverse Mercator – UTM or the USGS Grid system). 2 2 CONVERSION BETWEEN ECEF AND LOCAL TANGENTIAL PLANE A reference ellipsoid can be described by a series of parameters that define its shape and b e which include a semi-major axis ( a), a semi-minor axis ( ) and its first eccentricity ( )andits 0 second eccentricity ( e ) as shown in Figure 2.

  • Coordinates James R
    Coordinates James R. Clynch Naval Postgraduate School, 2002 I. Coordinate Types There are two generic types of coordinates: Cartesian, and Curvilinear of Angular. Those that provide x-y-z type values in meters, kilometers or other distance units are called Cartesian. Those that provide latitude, longitude, and height are called curvilinear or angular. The Cartesian and angular coordinates are equivalent, but only after supplying some extra information. For the spherical earth model only the earth radius is needed. For the ellipsoidal earth, two parameters of the ellipsoid are needed. (These can be any of several sets. The most common is the semi-major axis, called "a", and the flattening, called "f".) II. Cartesian Coordinates A. Generic Cartesian Coordinates These are the coordinates that are used in algebra to plot functions. For a two dimensional system there are two axes, which are perpendicular to each other. The value of a point is represented by the values of the point projected onto the axes. In the figure below the point (5,2) and the standard orientation for the X and Y axes are shown. In three dimensions the same process is used. In this case there are three axis. There is some ambiguity to the orientation of the Z axis once the X and Y axes have been drawn. There 1 are two choices, leading to right and left handed systems. The standard choice, a right hand system is shown below. Rotating a standard (right hand) screw from X into Y advances along the positive Z axis. The point Q at ( -5, -5, 10) is shown.

  • Kinematics Big Ideas and Equations Position Vs
    Kinematics Big Ideas and Equations Position vs. Time graphs Big Ideas: A straight line on a p vs t graph indicates constant speed (and velocity) An object at rest is indicated by a horizontal line The slope of a line on a p vs. t graph = velocity of the object (steeper = faster) The main difference between speed and velocity is that velocity incorporates direction o Speed will always be positive but velocity can be positive or negative o Positive vs. Negative slopes indicates the direction; toward the positive end of an axis (number line) or the negative end. For motion detectors this indicates toward (-) and away (+), but only because there is no negative side to the axis. An object with continuously changing speed will have a curved P vs. t graph; (curving steeper – speeding up, curving flatter – slowing down) (Instantaneous) velocity = average velocity if P vs. t is a (straight) line. Velocity vs Time graphs Big Ideas: The velocity can be found by calculating the slope of a position-time graph Constant velocity on a velocity vs. time graph is indicated with a horizontal line. Changing velocity is indicated by a line that slopes up or down. Speed increases when Velocity graph slopes away from v=0 axis. Speed decreases when velocity graph slopes toward v=0 axis. The velocity is negative if the object is moving toward the negative end of the axis - if the final position is less than the initial position (or for motion detectors if the object moves toward the detector) The slope of a velocity vs.

Tracking UAVs has become more and more significant because of not only their beneficial location-based service, but also their potential threats. UAVs are low-altitude, slow-speed, and small targets, which makes it possible to track them with mobile radars, such as vehicle radars and UAVs with radars. Kalman filter and its variant algorithms are widely used to extract useful trajectory information from data mixed with noise. Applying those filter algorithms in east-north-up (ENU) coordinates with mobile radars causes filter performance degradation. To improve this, we made a derivation on the motion-model consistency of mobile radar with constant velocity. Then, extending common filter algorithms into earth-centered earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinates to filter out random errors is proposed. The theory analysis and simulation shows that the improved algorithms provide more efficiency and compatibility in mobile radar scenes.

The kinematics seen from this frame of reference is shown to be rather unconventional. In particular, we discuss several subtleties emerging in the relative formulation of central notions, such as vector states, the classical limit, entanglement, uncertainty relations and the complementary principle. A Hamiltonian formulation is also derived which correctly encapsulates effects of fictitious forces associated with the accelerated motion of the frame.
