Tailored Datum Transformation Model for Locally Distributed Data
Publication: Journal of Surveying Engineering
Volume 125, Issue 1
Abstract
A seven-parameter datum transformation model is constructed for transformations between the World Geodetic System (WGS84) datum and the Hong Kong 1980 local datum. The solution is tailored by biasing the height information in the WGS84 system to obtain better agreement with the Hong Kong datum height values. The influence of the tailoring process on the accuracy of the model parameters is assessed.
