public interface EllipsoidalCS
extends CoordinateSystem
A 2- or 3-dimensional coordinate system in which position is specified by
geodetic latitude, geodetic longitude, and (in the 3D case) ellipsoidal height.
This type of CS can be used by coordinate reference systems of type
GeographicCRS
.
The following examples describe some possible set of axes for ellipsoidal CS used with the above-cited CRS:
Axis name | Abbr. | Direction | Unit |
---|---|---|---|
Geodetic latitude | φ | AxisDirection.NORTH | degree |
Geodetic longitude | λ | AxisDirection.EAST | degree |
Axis name | Abbr. | Direction | Unit |
---|---|---|---|
Geodetic latitude | φ | AxisDirection.NORTH | degree |
Geodetic longitude | λ | AxisDirection.EAST | degree |
Ellipsoidal height | h | AxisDirection.UP | metre |
