LOST IN TRANSFORMATION WVGIS 2014 Conference June 2-5, 2014 Christine Iksic Agenda • • • • • • • Coordinate Sytems Basics – WV SPC NAD 83 (what?) 3 Places Where Datums Matter Most Projections in ESRI Transformations in ESRI Datums & VRS Networks Checking In with NGS – DSWorld Projections Coordinate Systems Coordinate Systems • Coordinate systems are slippery… even if coordinates precise coordinates difficult to be certain • Coordinate systems assign a unique “address” to every point on Earth. • Coordinates are expressed relative to a datum. Building of a Map Ellipsoids and Geoids Projections Unprojected Datums Lat/Long UTM Projected State Plane Coordinate Systems Datums A datum specifies the earth-model (ellipsoid), and the origin associated with a particular set of coordinates. It’s a function of a projection. Datums provide the link between the earth and coordinate systems. Without a datum, coordinates have no meaning. There are many datums used worldwide. Only one datum, WGS-84, is global, the rest are regional. What is a Datum? What Language is your data speaking in? NAD 83 What? Who? Huh? NGS Datasheet NAD 83 What? • Rostport, Pa Year N (PA SPC) E (PA SPC) Lat Lon KX2372(2011) 326082.02 1387517.22 40 12 34.82640 079 49 49.31661 KX2372(2007) 326082.04 1387517.17 40 12 34.82655 079 49 49.31730 KX2372(1993) 326082.02 1387517.15 40 12 34.82633 079 49 49.31750 KX2372(1992) 326082.05 1387517.15 40 12 34.82664 079 49 49.31751 KX2372(1986) 326082.80 1387517.41 40 12 34.83413 079 49 49.31433 Why it Matters Example - WVDOT Geo Spatial Policy “Henceforth, geospatial coordinates are to be collected utilizing technology capable of a 1-meter level of accuracy. .Techniques such as GPS or conventional surveying should be used to obtain positions at accuracies greater than 1 meter. GPS should be used to obtain positions at the highest possible accuracy.. The recommended standard for representing and reporting geospatial data is as follows” http://www.transportation.wv.gov/highways/programplanni ng/planning/grant_administration/wvtrails/Pages/gps.aspx Datum Shifts 4790 4790 350m 150m 650m 4789 4789 610m Map Corner NAD27 541541 542542 Map Corner NAD83 NAD27 Coordinates = 350m, 650m NAD83 Coordinates = 150m, 610m Datum Shift WGS 84 NAD 83 (2011) 1 meter 10 – 120+ meters NAD 27 How Much? difference 86-11 ∆N ∆E total dist 0.78 0.19 0.80 difference 86-92 0.75 0.27 0.80 difference 92-93 0.03 0.00 0.03 difference 93-07 -0.02 -0.02 0.03 difference 07-11 0.02 -0.05 0.06 US Survey Feet NAD 83 – Which One? • WHY the difference, WHAT changed? Epochs = Adjustments • NAD83 or NAD83 CONUS = 1986 adjustment included NO GPS • NAD83 HARN = 1992-1993 adjustment were High Accuracy Reference Network (HARN); done state by state; differences between border areas • NAD83 CONUS CORS 96 - passive • NAD83 (NSRS2007) = 2007 adjustment GPS data only • NAD83 (2001)= 2011 adjustment CORS stations readjusted and held fixed as primary control NETWORK STATUS HPGN/HARN & STATEWIDE 1991 GPS222 1996 1992 1991 GPS341 GPS197 reos 7/96 GPS1047 GPS606 1994 GPS404 1992 1993 GPS633 1992 1992 GPS376 1996 1996 GPS805 1991 GP S291 GPS941 1995 reobs 9/97 1996 GPS1121 GPS887 1994 GPS412 GPS1048 GPS730 1995 1997 1997 GPS882 1997 1997 GPS1178 GPS1179 GPS1150 GPS 1200 1993 GPS610 1995 GPS419 1997 1993 GPS852 GPS1133 1992 1994 GPS725 1992 1992 1994 GPS383 GPS366 GPS721 reos 1/96 GPS936 GPS450 1993 GPS667 GPS & CLASSICAL ADJUSTMENTS COMPLETED . GPS ADJUSTMENT COMPLETED 1997 GPS577 Where Datums Matter • ESRI 1. Data Frame Properties 2. Geodatabase / Layers • Trimble (other GPS) 3. GPS a. Autonomous vs. Differential Correction ArcPad ArcMobile TerraSync, TerraFlex, others Transformations & Projections • Esri provides form controls for selecting the coordinate system (geographic or projected) for a feature class and also for the data frame of a map document in ArcMap and ArcCatalog. When the datums differ, you are prompted for a datum transformation in ArcMap. • Data Frame – select projection (prj) • Layers – define projection (prj) Projections – ESRI 10.1 newer Transformations What do you select, Yes, No, or Transformations? Transformations • Defined in one direction but are inversible – use in either direction. • _1, _2,_3, _4, _5 indicates ordered they were defined. • _5 most common to CONUS • Select correct transformation everytime. • Prior to 10.1 ESRI had no transformation available to NAD83 CORS 96 or 2011. NAD83 HARN was the closest. Today ESRI is current with NGS. Transformations From Layers Datum To Data Fram Datum Where Datums Matter • Trimble (other GPS) 3. GPS - Autonomous, WAAS, or VRS each field software has slightly different workflow. a. ArcPad b. ArcMobile http://positionsblog.trimble.com/?p=234 c. TerraSync, TerraFlex, others Todays Demo / Instruction GPS Datums • Autonomous GPS = WGS84 ITRF 00 • Differential Correction or VRS Real Time Correction will shift data to the reference frame and datum of correction source. Verify! • WVVRS and KeyNetGPS both NAD83 2011 VRS = NAD83 2011 WAAS or Autonomous GPS = WGS84 GPS Settings – Autonomous or WAAS • Autonomous GPS = WGS84 ITRF 00 • No matter what you set coordinate system to in collector raw data in file is WGS84 ITRF00 GPS w/ VRS or Real Time Correction • Differentially corrected GPS data are always in terms of the corrections source’s reference frame. • WVVRS and KeyNetGPS both NAD83 2011 • You can change the datum of your data depending on the settings under real time settings!! • In order to read NAD83 2011 from the collector both the Real Time Settings Datum & Coordinate System Datum must be NAD83 (CONUS) i.e a 0 transformation Demo Live TerraSync Demo Setup Coordinate System Real-Time Settings WV VRS Checking In • Verification of accuracy is essential to gain confidence • DSWorld – NGS use this NGS software to find datasheets with Google Earth. • DSWorld – link to download • Know your coordinates • Know the language your data is speaking Post-Processing • Differentially corrected GPS data are always in terms of the corrections source’s reference frame. • Verify reference frame of differential source • Two options 1. Base Provider Properties = WGS84 / ITRF00 2. Base File (CORS) = NAD 83 (2011) Exporting • Exporting a shapefile requires an ESRI .prj file be selected. • 10.1 prj files aren’t automatically accessible • Save prj file in ESRI to Favorites • Browse to ESRI Favorites in PFO to find prj file. • Select the correct datum! • A transformation can/typically occurs here on export based on datum selected • ITRF to NAD83 2011 Common PP Workflow • Since our Reference Frame is CORS – Base Provider Properties • Our GPS data is corrected against a source that is in WGS84 or ITRF00 • Export to State Plane NAD83 (2011) / Select Correct prj file • And our GIS is in NAD83(1986) or CONUS or just NAD83 • We therefore define an NAD83 (2011) to NAD83 CONUS Transformation • If GIS is in WGS84 define a transformation from NAD 83 (2011) to WGS 84 (00) 34 Demo Pathfinder Office Differential Correction Base Provider or Base File Option Export to proper datum Select .prj file Save prj file to Favorites in ESRI 10.1 or 10.2 ReferenceReference Frames Frames • CORS Post Process = ITRF00 = WGS84 • Autonomous GPS = WGS84 = ITRF00 • WAAS = ITRF00 = WGS84 • NDGPS (Radio DGPS) = NAD83 (CORS96) • OMNISTAR (Satellite DGPS) = NAD83 (CORS96) • VRS (most) = NAD83 (2011) 36 Review Review • Identify the proper reference frame for different differential sources – VRS and Post-Processing • Learn how to apply the correct datum transformation inside the GPS and back in the GIS. • Was there a correction or export, was there a transformation applied? • Does the prj file match the actual data (not always right.) • Tell ESRI what transformation to use. Don’t click YES. • Ask and Tell NAD 83 WHAT???!!!! • NAD83 (2011) ≠ WGS84 about 4.3 feet 37 DON’T GET LOST in TRANSFORMATION Coordinate System? Datum?
