Development of an Attitude Transformation Method From the Navigation Coordinate System to the Projection Coordinate System

摘要

The position and attitude information obtained by the position and orientation system (POS) are defined by using the navigation coordinate system, but the actual production application is generally carried out under the map projection frame. Therefore, it is necessary to transform POS data into the map projection frame before it is applied in practice. Considering the complexity of the existing algorithms, and the geocentric coordinate systems that are currently widely used, such as WGS84 and CGCS2000, this letter proposes a simplified transformation method (ST-method) for the POS attitude transformation. It is obviously different from the classical Legat's method which is widely used at present. The algorithm in this letter can be called one-step transformation method, in which the geocentric coordinate system and the local tangent plane coordinate system are not involved. The conversion process has been deeply analyzed and the conversion formula is deduced, directly from navigation coordinate system to projection coordinate system. Compared with the classical methods, the most important contribution of this letter is to simplify the conversion process, and the experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve the same effect as the existing methods with no loss of accuracy.
