GE 152; Reference Systems and Reference Frames DATUM TRANSFORMATION (PRS92 AND WGS84) THIRD LONG EXAM 2nd Semester AY 2013-2014 1, INTRODUCTION ‘The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard coordinates system used in cartography, geodesy, and navigation. Its origin is located at the Earth's center of mass, The latest version of this scheme, the WGS84, is the datum used by the Global Position System (GPS). Philippine Reference System of 1992 (PRS92) is a national network of geodetic control points and the standard reference system for all surveying and mapping activities in the Philippines. It is established in 1992 through the use of GPS technology by Natural Resource Management and Development Project (NRMDP) of the DENR in collaboration with the Government of Australia. The National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) is the government agency responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the primary (first and second-order) control points. The point are then densified by the DENR Regional Composite Survey Teams by conducting survey projects that will establish third, fourth and other lower-control points. Since the data from the GPS is based on WGS84, a transformation formula is necessary for it to be used in local surveys. In this paper, this formula will be discussed with examples of transformation from WGS84 to PRS92 and vice- versa. This paper will also give an overview to a Python program that implements this transformation 2, MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS In datum transformation, 7 parameters are needed including 3 translational parameters, 3 rotational parameters, and 1 scale factor with the ‘equation: [%] [ax 1° -&)%) ¥, |e ay|+(1+se*0*)I-2 1 oR |X| z,) [az RR 1 ha) For WGS84 to PRS92 datum transformation, the parameters are shown, below. For PRS92 to WGS84 datum transformation, the values of the parameters are the same except that its signs are opposite of that with the parameters for WGS84 to PRS92.

The initial value of the PRS92 prime vertical will be calculated as Improved values of the latitude and the prime vertical can be calculated by iterating the equation of the N above and the equation of the latitude given as gy =tan! 222 Nasings After obtaining the value of the latitude when the iteration converges, the height can now be computed as 2 on [*] ft & yx AF |e(lese*m*))-4 1 |X a2, 3a 1 de x: f Ti98 257225565 4 rl C.NI6EMIS 2, = 7.7S89SG43E8ES cag A~i2s.cbSDCESLILLICeg == L7LASES ue = 637524 16040 [i-einor % {N+ h)cospeosd ~3485631.45 1381 i] =| orsneonpera | » | seraeonseaiz1060 (N+ Ae ysing] U essz0s09s011979 [-* Beaton Parameters Gedians) YT Taslation Parameters) LAPD) ax 3] reais ay 7 64688107 AZ x joni 1.05002 5272688.37785498 853248.60409 a) aX) fi ak [F| = [| + (lesemoty-n, 1 OR a} Laz! 13 ®t %) [sisserci D=X"+¥* « 6320590.60800011 * sa = 7736930876 deg jm tan( 1) = 120.06652187 dee} Ny -— 1 Z+@Ny sin ‘ww() SO rena eee a 3 6378587 95677072 7.739929822 ch [e37ase7.9seca 5378307 95658 [7729929815 deg Figure 1.
