Class VerticalTransform

Object

Formattable

AbstractMathTransform

VerticalTransform

All Implemented Interfaces:

MathTransform

Direct Known Subclasses:

EarthGravitationalModel

public abstract class VerticalTransform
extends AbstractMathTransform

Base class for transformations from a height above the ellipsoid to a height above the geoid. This transform expects three-dimensional geographic coordinates in (longitude,latitude,height) order. The transformations are usually backed by some ellipsoid-dependent database.

Method Detail

getSourceDimensions

public final int getSourceDimensions()

Gets the dimension of input points.

Specified by:

getSourceDimensions in interface MathTransform

Specified by:

getSourceDimensions in class AbstractMathTransform

Returns:

The dimension of input points.

getTargetDimensions

public final int getTargetDimensions()

Gets the dimension of output points.

Specified by:

getTargetDimensions in interface MathTransform

Specified by:

getTargetDimensions in class AbstractMathTransform

Returns:

The dimension of output points.

heightOffset

protected abstract double heightOffset(double longitude,
                                       double latitude,
                                       double height)
                                throws TransformException

Returns the value to add to a height above the ellipsoid in order to get a height above the geoid for the specified geographic coordinate.

Parameters:

longitude - The geodetic longitude, in decimal degrees.

latitude - The geodetic latitude, in decimal degrees.

height - The height above the ellipsoid in metres.

Returns:

The value to add in order to get the height above the geoid (in metres).

Throws:

TransformException - if the offset can't be computed for the specified coordinates.

transform

public void transform(float[] srcPts,
                      int srcOff,
                      float[] dstPts,
                      int dstOff,
                      int numPts)
               throws TransformException

Transforms a list of coordinate point ordinal values.

Specified by:

transform in interface MathTransform

Overrides:

transform in class AbstractMathTransform

Parameters:

srcPts - the array containing the source point coordinates.

srcOff - the offset to the first point to be transformed in the source array.

dstPts - the array into which the transformed point coordinates are returned. May be the same than srcPts.

dstOff - the offset to the location of the first transformed point that is stored in the destination array.

numPts - the number of point objects to be transformed.

Throws:

TransformException - if a point can't be transformed. Some implementations will stop at the first failure, wile some other implementations will fill the untransformable points with NaN values, continue and throw the exception only at end. Implementations that fall in the later case should set the last completed transform to this.

transform

public void transform(double[] srcPts,
                      int srcOff,
                      double[] dstPts,
                      int dstOff,
                      int numPts)
               throws TransformException

Transforms a list of coordinate point ordinal values.

Parameters:

srcPts - the array containing the source point coordinates.

srcOff - the offset to the first point to be transformed in the source array.

dstPts - the array into which the transformed point coordinates are returned. May be the same than srcPts.

dstOff - the offset to the location of the first transformed point that is stored in the destination array.

numPts - the number of point objects to be transformed.

Throws:

TransformException - if a point can't be transformed. Some implementations will stop at the first failure, wile some other implementations will fill the untransformable points with NaN values, continue and throw the exception only at end. Implementations that fall in the later case should set the last completed transform to this.
