The Affine Transform LAS Point Cloud Task is a versatile tool for modifying the coordinates of your point cloud. A common use is applying grid to ground conversions which require more than a simple scale or translation. How to setup the Affine Transform LAS Point Cloud Task to accomplish this may not be readily apparent…
This post applies if your grid to ground conversion requires needing to apply a horizontal rotation about an origin point and is defined by: Horizontal Translation North (tN) Horizontal Translation East (tE) Horizontal Rotation (Rz) Horizontal Origin Northing (N0) Horizontal Origin Easting (E0) Horizontal Scale Factor Then, if the horizontal scale factor is one, luckily,…
This post applies if your grid to ground conversion requires applying a horizontal scale about an origin point and is defined by: Horizontal Origin Northing (N0) Horizontal Origin Easting (E0) Horizontal Scale Factor Scale based grid to ground transformations are probably the most common. If the origin point is not defined, it is usually implied…
Purpose: This technical note explains Grid-to-ground projections (AKA “ground coordinates”, “surface coordinates”, “localized coordinate networks”, etc.) within GeoCue. A ground coordinate system is a local coordinate system created by modifying the origin and scale of an existing projected coordinate system, such as a state plane or UTM grid system. The ground system is tied to…
