Transformation Editor: Compute Menu

(This functionality is available with the Transformations module)

On selecting the Compute menu from the Transformations Editor, the following commands become available. These commands are used to compute the appropriate transformation parameters and display a transformation as an ASCII Report or an XML output if the XML Output Option has been selected from the Options menu.

The most recently computed transformation becomes the currently defined transformation.

Command Used to compute a least squares transformation solving for
Conformal: East translation, north translation, scale, and rotation.
Semi-Affine: East translation, north translation, east scale, north scale, and rotation.
Affine: East translation, north translation, east scale, north scale, rotation, and orthogonal deviation.
Unscaled: East translation, north translation and rotation. No scale is used.
3D Conformal: East translation, north translation, elevation translation, rotations about the East, North and Elevation axes, and scale.
3D Unscaled: East translation, north translation, elevation translation, and rotations about the East, North and Elevation axes. No scale is used.
