  3. Topics • Esri projection engine • Coordinate systems • Transformations • Future work • Review

  4. Esri Projection Engine

  5. Esri projection engine • One universal library for all ESRI products • pe.dll • Not tied to just one product • Improve maintenance/ease of programming • Speed, consistent results, standardization • Accuracy – tight forward/inverse round trips • Must have inversibility • Engine versus Factory

  6. Engine Objection creation & processing Transformations Projections Math functions Factory Predefined objects Coordinate systems, ellipsoids, units, etc Well-known ID lookup PE library sections

  9. Coordinate Systems

  10. ArcGIS 10.1 coordinate systems • Coordinate system definitions always stored in library • ‘prj files’ installed separately • At 10.1 over 5000 files • Now store the folder information in the library • Display a ‘virtual’ directory structure

  11. NAD 1983 and variant support • GCS, UTM zones, SPCS zones, Albers • NAD 1983 • NAD 1983 HARN • NAD 1983 CORS96 • NAD 1983 NSRS2007 • NAD 1983 (2011) + UTM zones • State Plane zones in 10.1.2

  12. ArcGIS 10.1 coordinate systems • User interface updated • ‘Layers’ • Listed each layer • Open to see its coordinate system • Now list each coordinate system • Open to see which layers use it

  13. spatial filter favorites create or import coordinate system search well-known ID

  14. Coordinate system search and filter • Spatial filter • Current extent • Layer extent (any in the map) • Custom extent • Search/filter by • Name • Only folders that contain matches will be shown • Well-known ID (WKID) aka 4326, 26906

  15. Favorites • Now visible (and usable) everywhere • Stored in your user profile • C:\Documents and Settings\melita\Application Data\ ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcMap\Coordinate Systems (Windows XP) • Supports folders • Import coordinate system from • Data • Prj file NEW

  16. Coordinate System Demonstration

  17. Transformations

  18. Geographic transformations • ‘Datum’ transformations • Convert between GCS • Includes unit, prime meridian, and spheroid changes • Defined in a particular direction • All are reversible

  19. Transformation methods • Equation-based • Molodensky, Abridged Molodensky, Geocentric Translation • Coordinate Frame, Position Vector, Molodensky-Badekas • Longitude Rotation, 2D lat / lon offsets • File-based • NADCON, HARN, NTv2

  20. ArcMap 10.1 transformations • Sorted by applicability • Area of use • Accuracy • Will create compound (two-step) transformations automatically • Ex. NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON + NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_5

  21. Combined transformations

  22. ArcMap 10.1.1 transformations • NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON • ArcMap default • Until 10.1.1 • No more default transformations!

  23. Transformation metadata • Areas of use • Accuracy • C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\Documentation\ geographic_transformations.pdf http://support.esri.com/en/knowledgebase/techarticles/detail/21327

  24. Methods in Alaska • Coordinate Frame • Equation-based • Seven parameters • 3 translations, 3 rotations, 1 scale factor (in XYZ) • NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_5 • WGS_1984_(ITRF00)_To_NAD_1983 • NADCON / HARN • File-based • Generally most accurate • NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_Alaska • No transformations released for current adjustments

  25.

  38. Review

  39. WGS84/ITRF Review:Datums Change Sats ITRF00 Base Provider Export Using NAD83(CONUS)CORS96 GIS SSF COR SHP

  40. How to Do it • In Garmin Workflows with DNRGPS (Formerly DNRGarmin)… • Tag all your data as “plain vanilla” “NAD83”

  41. How to Do it • In Pathfinder Office, select the Projection file to match the Exported Coordinate System. • Today tag your CORS corrected data to “CORS96” NAD83

  42. How to Do it • In ArcGIS *Assuming the standards of how the data “got to NAD83” were followed…

  43. Conclusions • As spatial references continue to evolve, it is important to understand how such evolution affects the Mapping software that we use for collecting and processing GPS data. • As we navigate to previous GPS datasets or update them (at submeter), it is extremely important to transform properly to get back to the right place • Options in the field and office GPS software can change the spatial reference of the GPS data that we collect. • Esri software options can also change the spatial reference of any GPS data we collect. • Knowing how these changes occur can eliminate much confusion and lead to satisfactory positioning results.
