A Faster Technique for the Transformation of Universal Transverse Mercator Projected Raster Images into a Geodetic Projection

Abstract

Often it is necessary to transform a georeferenced raster image from one projection to another. This report describes an efficient method for performing Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) to Geodetic projection transformations. The reprojected images are suitable for applications that require high accuracy and can be seamlessly combined with preexisting Geodetic data. The procedure can be abstracted to convert between any two projection types.
