AcresGeoUtm.h#
Acres/Source/Acres/AcresGeoUtm.h Generated
Universal Transverse Mercator projection (pure C++, header only, no Unreal types).
The Polaris Ranger's localisation (Dataspeed ds_localization on the OxTS AV200 fix) publishes /vehicle/odom in UTM zone 16N on the WGS84 ellipsoid; the simulator's INS stream (AcresSensors.cpp) and the multi-agent spawn poses given in UTM (AcresAgents.cpp) use these functions. The datum of the latitude / longitude going in (NAD83(2011) for an RTK fix, WGS84(G2139) otherwise) is the caller's choice, as on the vehicle; see Calibration/Polaris/geo.py.
Method: Krueger's series to sixth order in the third flattening n (Karney 2011, "Transverse Mercator with an accuracy of a few nanometers", J. Geodesy 85, eqs. 7-11, 35-36), accurate to well below a millimetre inside a zone. Tested against pyproj in Tools/PolarisModel/polaris_tests.cpp.
| Name | Type | Unit | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A, F, K0, FalseEasting |
inline constexpr double |
WGS84 ellipsoid, UTM scale on the central meridian and false easting. |
CentralMeridianDeg#
Central meridian of a zone, deg.
GeographicToUtm#
Latitude / longitude to UTM on the WGS84 ellipsoid (northern hemisphere).
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
LatDeg |
Latitude, deg. |
LonDeg |
Longitude, deg (negative west). |
Zone |
UTM zone (16 for the ACRE farm). |
Returns: Easting, northing, meridian convergence and point scale.
UtmToGeographic#
UTM (WGS84 ellipsoid, northern hemisphere) to latitude / longitude.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
EastingM |
Easting, m. |
NorthingM |
Northing, m. |
Zone |
UTM zone. |
LatDeg |
Output latitude, deg. |
LonDeg |
Output longitude, deg. |
FUtm#
Result of a forward UTM projection.
| Name | Type | Unit | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
EastingM |
double |
m | 0 |
See above. |
NorthingM |
double |
m | 0 |
UTM coordinates, m (false easting 500 km; northern hemisphere, no false northing). |
ConvergenceDeg |
double |
° | 0 |
Meridian convergence, deg: grid north minus true north, positive east of the central meridian (a true azimuth minus the convergence is the grid azimuth). |
Scale |
double |
1 |
Point scale factor. |
