public class AbstractCoordinateOperation
extends AbstractIdentifiedObject
implements CoordinateOperation

Establishes an association between a source and a target coordinate reference system, and provides a transform for transforming coordinates in the source CRS to coordinates in the target CRS. Many but not all coordinate operations (from coordinate reference system A to coordinate reference system B) also uniquely define the inverse operation (from coordinate reference system B to coordinate reference system A). In some cases, the operation method algorithm for the inverse operation is the same as for the forward algorithm, but the signs of some operation parameter values must be reversed. In other cases, different algorithms are required for the forward and inverse operations, but the same operation parameter values are used. If (some) entirely different parameter values are needed, a different coordinate operation shall be defined.

This class is conceptually abstract, even if it is technically possible to instantiate it. Typical applications should create instances of the most specific subclass with Default prefix instead. An exception to this rule may occurs when it is not possible to identify the exact type.

Constructor Detail

AbstractCoordinateOperation

public AbstractCoordinateOperation(Map<String,?> properties,
                                   CoordinateReferenceSystem sourceCRS,
                                   CoordinateReferenceSystem targetCRS,
                                   MathTransform transform)

Constructs a coordinate operation from a set of properties. The properties given in argument follow the same rules than for the super-class constructor. Additionally, the following properties are understood by this construtor:

Property name	Value type	Value given to
"operationVersion"	String	getOperationVersion()
"coordinateOperationAccuracy"	PositionalAccuracy[]	getCoordinateOperationAccuracy()
"domainOfValidity"	Extent	getDomainOfValidity()
"scope"	String or InternationalString	getScope()

Parameters:

properties - Set of properties. Should contains at least "name".

sourceCRS - The source CRS.

targetCRS - The target CRS.

transform - Transform from positions in the source CRS to positions in the target CRS.

Method Detail

getSourceCRS

public CoordinateReferenceSystem getSourceCRS()

Returns the source CRS.

Specified by:

getSourceCRS in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The source CRS, or null if not available.

See Also:

Conversion.getSourceCRS(), Transformation.getSourceCRS()

getTargetCRS

public CoordinateReferenceSystem getTargetCRS()

Returns the target CRS.

Specified by:

getTargetCRS in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The target CRS, or null if not available.

See Also:

Conversion.getTargetCRS(), Transformation.getTargetCRS()

getOperationVersion

public String getOperationVersion()

Version of the coordinate transformation (i.e., instantiation due to the stochastic nature of the parameters). Mandatory when describing a transformation, and should not be supplied for a conversion.

Specified by:

getOperationVersion in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The coordinate operation version, or null in none.

getCoordinateOperationAccuracy

public Collection<PositionalAccuracy> getCoordinateOperationAccuracy()

Estimate(s) of the impact of this operation on point accuracy. Gives position error estimates for target coordinates of this coordinate operation, assuming no errors in source coordinates.

Specified by:

getCoordinateOperationAccuracy in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The position error estimates, or an empty collection if not available.

Since:

2.4

See Also:

getAccuracy()

getPositionalAccuracy

public Collection<PositionalAccuracy> getPositionalAccuracy()

Deprecated. Renamed as getCoordinateOperationAccuracy().

Estimate(s) of the impact of this operation on point accuracy. Gives position error estimates for target coordinates of this coordinate operation, assuming no errors in source coordinates.

Returns:

The position error estimates, or an empty collection if not available.

See Also:

getAccuracy()

getAccuracy

public double getAccuracy()

Convenience method returning the accuracy in meters. The default implementation delegates to getAccuracy(this). Subclasses should override this method if they can provide a more accurate algorithm.

Returns:

The accuracy in meters, or NaN if unknown.

Since:

2.2

getAccuracy

public static double getAccuracy(CoordinateOperation operation)

Convenience method returning the accuracy in meters for the specified operation. This method try each of the following procedures and returns the first successful one:

• If a quantitative positional accuracy is found with a linear unit, then this accuracy estimate is converted to meters and returned.
• Otherwise, if the operation is a conversion, then returns 0 since a conversion is by definition accurates up to rounding errors.
• Otherwise, if the operation is a transformation, then checks if the datum shift were applied with the help of Bursa-Wolf parameters. This procedure looks for Geotools-specific DATUM_SHIFT_APPLIED and DATUM_SHIFT_OMITTED metadata. If a datum shift has been applied, returns 25 meters. If a datum shift should have been applied but has been omitted, returns 1000 meters. The 1000 meters value is higher than the highest value (999 meters) found in the EPSG database version 6.7. The 25 meters value is the next highest value found in the EPSG database for a significant number of transformations.
• Otherwise, if the operation is a concatenated one, returns the sum of the accuracy of all components.

Parameters:

operation - The operation to inspect for accuracy.

Returns:

The accuracy estimate (always in meters), or NaN if unknow.

Since:

2.2

getDomainOfValidity

public Extent getDomainOfValidity()

Area or region or timeframe in which this coordinate operation is valid. Returns null if not available.

Specified by:

getDomainOfValidity in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The coordinate operation valid domain, or null if not available.

Since:

2.4

getValidArea

public Extent getValidArea()

Deprecated. Renamed getDomainOfValidity().

Area in which this operation is valid.

Returns:

Coordinate operation valid area, or null if not available.

getScope

public InternationalString getScope()

Description of domain of usage, or limitations of usage, for which this operation is valid.

Specified by:

getScope in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

A description of domain of usage, or null if none.

getMathTransform

public MathTransform getMathTransform()

Gets the math transform. The math transform will transform positions in the source coordinate reference system into positions in the target coordinate reference system.

Specified by:

getMathTransform in interface CoordinateOperation

Returns:

The transform from source to target CRS, or null if not applicable.
