Coordinate geografiche. Le linee verticali sono dette meridiani e servono a misurare la longitudine, le linee orizzontali sono dette paralleli e servono a misurare la latitudine. In geodesia le coordinate geografiche sono valori utili per individuare la posizione di un punto sulla superficie terrestre. Esse sono la latitudine, la longitudine e ...
Local tangent plane coordinates ( LTP ), also known as local ellipsoidal system, [1] [2] local geodetic coordinate system, [3] or local vertical, local horizontal coordinates ( LVLH ), are a spatial reference system based on the tangent plane defined by the local vertical direction and the Earth's axis of rotation.
Geodesy. A spatial reference system ( SRS) or coordinate reference system ( CRS) is a framework used to precisely measure locations on the surface of Earth as coordinates. It is thus the application of the abstract mathematics of coordinate systems and analytic geometry to geographic space. A particular SRS specification (for example ...
In blue, the point (4, 210°). In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. The reference point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system) is called the pole, and the ...
Geodesy. The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF ), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its center of mass.
A geographic information system ( GIS) consists of integrated computer hardware and software that store, manage, analyze, edit, output, and visualize geographic data. [1] [2] Much of this often happens within a spatial database, however, this is not essential to meet the definition of a GIS. [1] In a broader sense, one may consider such a ...
A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional ...
