Improved Method for Calculating Exact Geodetic Latitude and Altitude.

Abstract

An efficient model for transforming Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinates to geodetic coordinates is presented. The model systematically derives exact expressions for the geodetic latitude and altitude, which are free of singularities. To the author's best knowledge, no such expressions exist in the literature.
