Preferred term

coordinate transformation  

Definition(s)

  • Coordinate transformations are methods that either convert the coordinates of locations between coordinate systems or alter locations’ coordinates within the same coordinate system. Coordinate transformations are used commonly in geographic information science to assign or convert a geographic reference for data locations, to correct inaccuracies in remote sensing data pixel locations, and to change the display of geographic data on a computer screen.
