COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION,
Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the mathematical processes required for the transformation of a source map of one projection into another map of a different projection via an electronic system concept. The projections considered for this study were two of the more popular ones being used frequently by various mapping agencies today, the Mercator projection and the Lambert conformal projection. The study entailed two type transformations; one being a projection grid transformation and the other an outline map of the United States being transformed. Both transformations showed accuracy to one-hundreth of an inch. The conclusions were: that if a need for such transformations arose, no matter what projections involved, the system concept could be utilized and a map transformation be done automatically. (Author)
