fwd: forward coordinates (destination)
rev: reverse coordinates (source)
fxy: forward coordinates difference (destination)
rxy: reverse coordinates difference (source)
fd: forward error (destination)
rd: reverse error (source)
input=name
File containing coordinates to transform ("-" to read from stdin)
Local x,y coordinates to target east,north
DESCRIPTION
m.transform is an utility to compute transformation based upon GCPs and output error measurements.
NOTES
For coordinates given with the input file option or fed from stdin, the input format is "x y" with one coordinate pair per line.
The transformations are:
order=1:
e = [E0 E1][1].[1]
[E2 0][e] [n]
n = [N0 N1][1].[1]
[N2 0][e] [n]
order=2:
e = [E0 E1 E3][1 ] [1 ]
[E2 E4 0][e ].[n ]
[E5 0 0][e] [n]
n = [N0 N1 N3][1 ] [1 ]
[N2 N4 0][e ].[n ]
[N5 0 0][e] [n]
order=3:
e = [E0 E1 E3 E6][1 ] [1 ]
[E2 E4 E7 0][e ].[n ]
[E5 E8 0 0][e] [n]
[E9 0 0 0][e] [n]
n = [N0 N1 N3 N6][1 ] [1 ]
[N2 N4 N7 0][e ].[n ]
[N5 N8 0 0][e] [n]
[N9 0 0 0][e] [n]
["." = dot-product, (AE).N = N'EA.]
In other words, order=1 and order=2 are equivalent to order=3 with the higher coefficients equal to zero.
