Geodetic Coordinate System (WGS84, BJ54, GDZ80) to Cartesian Coordinate System Conversion

Resource Overview

A custom MATLAB program for converting WGS84, BJ54, and GDZ80 geodetic coordinate systems to Cartesian coordinates, featuring comprehensive trigonometric computations for precise transformations. Feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated!

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB program implements the conversion from WGS84, BJ54, and GDZ80 geodetic coordinate systems to Cartesian coordinate systems. The algorithm employs extensive trigonometric calculations, including latitude/longitude to Cartesian transformations with ellipsoid parameter adjustments for each datum. Key functions handle coordinate normalization, elevation processing, and datum-specific ellipsoid parameters (semi-major axis, flattening) to ensure conversion accuracy. The implementation follows standard geodesy formulas with validation checks for boundary conditions. For any inquiries or suggestions regarding coordinate transformation algorithms, alternative programming language implementations, or additional coordinate system conversions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your interest!
