This very small project converts a set of Cartesian coordinates to the Geographic Coordinate System WGS84.
WGS84 is an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed terrestrial reference system and geodetic datum. WGS84 is based on a consistent set of constants and model parameters that describe the Earth's size, shape, and gravity and geomagnetic fields. WGS84 is the standard U.S. Department of Defense definition of a global reference system for geospatial information and is the reference system for the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Clone the project. At the root of the project run:
./gradlew clean build
At the root of the project run:
./gradlew clean build installDist
This creates the following directory:
build/install/CoordinatesConverter
It contains a lib directory with all required jars, and a bin directory with the appropriate
scripts to run the application in Unix based systems (Coordinates Converter)
and Windows systems (Coordinates Converter.bat).
Copy the CoordinatesConverter directory from build/install/ to a place of your choice. Then:
cd CoordinatesConverter/bin/
And run the application with a set of Cartesian Coordinates.
For example running for Cartesian Coordinates (6378137, 0, 0) gives us the GCS point (0, 0, 0):
./CoordinatesConverter 6378137 0 0
Produces:
Latitude: 0.0
Longitude: 0.0
Elevation: 0.0
