Abstract:
This project aims to build geodetic Transformation software using C# programming language. This tool should be able to transform form Geographic coordinates to Geocentric coordinates (X,Y,Z) and from Geographic coordinates to projected coordinates (Easting, Northing) and in the opposite direction using Cassini, Transverse Mercator TM and Universal Transverse Mercator UTM So that for surveying point there would be no need to use expensive software, and the time will not be spent to draw the point in the software format like GIS and Cad software
The projected coordinates system used are; Palestine_1923 grid, Palestine_1923 Belt, Palestine_1923 CS Israel grid and Israel Transverse Mercator. In addition a separate datum transformation tool is to be built to calculate the datum transformation parameters using different transformation method; similarity 7-parameters, Molodensky transformation, Helmert 2D Linearized transformation
The converter tool converts from decimal to radian and from decimal to degrees and from degrees to radian and vice versa
There are many software available to apply these calcuations, such as ArcView, ArcGIS, Autodesk Land Desktop, ER Mapper, ERDAS, ... ect. but these softwaew are expensive for single user
The final produt will be software can be setup at any computer to calaulate different thypes of coordinates for single or multipoint calculations.
