Summary
| Description |
Shows how corrections have to be made for height (altitude) when converting from geodetic to geocentric coordinates. Point H is a point on the surface of a spheroid. This point has a geodetic latitude (α) and a geocentric latitude (β). Point H' is a point sharing the same geodetic latitude as point H, but is at a higher altitude and has a different geocentric latitude (γ). |
