Seven-parameter Helmert datum shift: arc-second conversion · case 04

Tiny rotations shift coordinates by thousands of kilometres.

Case contract

Input [X, Y, Z, tx, ty, tz, rx, ry, rz, s, convention] with metres, rotations in arc-seconds and scale in ppm. Rotations are converted to radians; for "coordinate_frame" they are negated, for "position_vector" used as is. m = 1 + s*1e-6. X' = tx + m(X - rz Y + ry Z); Y' = ty + m(rz X + Y - rx Z); Z' = tz + m(-ry X + rx Y + Z). Return [X', Y', Z'] rounded to 3 decimals.

Why this case matters

Datum transformations between national and global frames use these seven parameters; convention and unit slips cause metre-level offsets that pass casual inspection.
