Package org.apache.sis.referencing.datum
Relationship of a
CoordinateSystem
(an abstract mathematical entity) to the earth or other system.
An explanation for this package is provided in the OpenGIS® javadoc.
The remaining discussion on this page is specific to the SIS implementation.
The root class in this package is AbstractDatum
.
Various subclasses are defined for various kinds of relationship to the Earth or time
(geodetic,
vertical,
temporal),
or to platforms (mobile or not)
(engineering,
image).
Some of those SIS subclasses provide additional methods that are not part of OGC/ISO specifications:
DefaultEllipsoid.getAuthalicRadius()
DefaultEllipsoid.getEccentricity()
DefaultPrimeMeridian.getGreenwichLongitude(Unit)
DefaultGeodeticDatum.getBursaWolfParameters()
DefaultGeodeticDatum.getPositionVectorTransformation(GeodeticDatum, Extent)
Datum shifts
Three classes are provided in support of coordinate transformations between different datums:
BursaWolfParameters
performs an approximation based on a translation, rotation and scale of geocentric coordinates.TimeDependentBWP
is likeBursaWolfParameters
, but varies with time for taking in account the motion of plate tectonic.DatumShiftGrid
is used for more accurate transformations than whatBursaWolfParameters
allows, by interpolating the geographic or geocentric translations in a grid (e.g. NADCON or NTv2) instead than apply the same transformation for every points.

Class Summary Class Description AbstractDatum Specifies the relationship of a Coordinate System to the earth.BursaWolfParameters Parameters for a geographic transformation between two datum having the same prime meridian.DatumShiftGrid<C extends Quantity<C>,T extends Quantity<T>> Small but non-constant translations to apply on coordinates for datum shifts or other transformation process.DefaultEllipsoid Geometric figure that can be used to describe the approximate shape of the earth.DefaultEngineeringDatum Defines the origin of an engineering coordinate reference system.DefaultGeodeticDatum Defines the location and orientation of an ellipsoid that approximates the shape of the earth.DefaultImageDatum Defines the origin of an image coordinate reference system.DefaultParametricDatum Defines the origin of a parametric coordinate reference system.DefaultPrimeMeridian Defines the origin from which longitude values are determined.DefaultTemporalDatum Defines the origin of a temporal coordinate reference system.DefaultVerticalDatum Identifies a particular reference level surface used as a zero-height surface.TimeDependentBWP Parameters for a time-dependent geographic transformation between two datum.
