On ill-conditioning in 3D similarity transformation
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
3D similarity transformations are often used for datum transformation in Geomatic Engineering. The transformations are routinely performed between the point coordinates evaluated from GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) observations and the point coordinates given in national datum. A mathematical model established among two different 3D coordinate systems contains tree type datum parameters which are translations, rotations and a scale. Coefficients of the parameters reflect large variations from each other’s. So, the unknown coefficient matrix in normal equations is to be ill-conditioned. In this study, it is indicated how the ill-condition structure is reduced to acceptable level by means of choosing at different unit of unknown parameters. Finally, the transformation from Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality GNSS network coordinates to Turkish Geodetic Datum is used as a numerical example.
