Geocentric to Topocentric Converter Online


Geocentric to Topocentric Converter Online-summary

This operation converts geocentric coordinate values (X, Y, Z) to topocentric (E/East, N/North, U/Up) values. This is also sometimes known as the ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed) to ENU conversion.

Geocentric to Topocentric Converter Online-instructions

This operation converts geocentric coordinate values (X, Y, Z) to topocentric (E/East, N/North, U/Up) values. This is also sometimes known as the ECEF (Earth Centered Earth Fixed) to ENU conversion. Topocentric coordinates are expressed in a frame whose East and North axis form a local tangent plane to the Earth's ellipsoidal surface fixed to a specific location (the topocentric origin), and the Up axis points upwards along the normal to that plane.
The built-in geodetic coordinates include MERIT, SGS85, GRS80, IAU76, GRS67, helmert, WGS60, WGS66, WGS72, WGS84. It also supports customization of geodetic coordinate system through ellipsoid Semi-major axis and reverse flattening of the ellipsoid.

  1. Input Coordinates : Enter geocentric coordinates XYZ or topocentric coordinates ENU. Use Comma-separated values, and enter one coordinate per line. Supports input of multiple lines. The geocentric coordinates format isX , Y , Z, the units is meters(m). The topocentric coordinates format is E , N , U, the unit is meters(m).
  2. Origin : The topocentric origin is a required parameter of the conversion, and can be expressed either as geocentric coordinates (X_0, Y_0 and Z_0) or as geographic coordinates (lat_0, lon_0, h_0).
  3. Ellipsoid : Select the ellipsoid definition, which supports user-defined ellipsoids.
  4. a : The semi-major axis of a custom ellipsoid, in meters (m). The value range is [6370000,6379999].
  5. rf : Reverse flattening of the ellipsoid, 1/f. The value range is [270,300].
  6. XYZ→ENU : Convert the input geocentric coordinate system coordinates (X, Y, Z) to topocentric coordinate system coordinates (E, N, U).
  7. ENU→XYZ : Convert the input topocentric coordinate system coordinates (E, N, U) to geocentric coordinate system coordinates (X, Y, Z) .
  8. Topocentric Origin Parameter :
    Name Description Used by Unit
    X_0 Geocentric X value of the topocentric origin geocentric meter(m)
    Y_0 Geocentric Y value of the topocentric origin geocentric meter(m)
    Z_0 Geocentric Z value of the topocentric origin geocentric meter(m)
    lon_0 Longitude of topocentric origin geographic degree(°)
    lat_0 Latitude of topocentric origin geographic degree(°)
    h_0 Ellipsoidal height of topocentric origin geographic meter(m)
  9. Open File : Support for opening UTF-8 encoded text files.
  10. This tool has a certain frequency limit, please use this tool reasonably. Anonymous : 30/IP*Hour, Normal user : 30/Hour, VIP : 120/Hour, Senior VIP : 120/Hour.
    Anonymous and normal users can only enter one set of coordinates at a time, and batch conversion is not supported. VIP and advanced VIP users support batch conversion.
