Lecture

Coordinate Transformations: Satellite Tracking

Description

This lecture covers coordinate transformations, focusing on satellite tracking and the general case of transformations. It explains changes of scale along the axes ox, oy, oz, 3D landmark changes, and similarity transformations. The instructor discusses the transformation of coordinates, including rotation, translation, and scale factor, with examples of equations for different axes. The lecture also addresses the compatibility with global systems like WGS84, regular transformations, and the precision achieved in surveying work. It concludes with a summary of local and global reference systems, the transition from the old to the new system, and the affine transformation involved.
