In Fig. 7.3 , O new —X new Y new Z new and O old —X old Y old Z old are two geodetic
Cartesian coordinate systems (geodetic spatial rectangular coordinate systems).
Their coordinate origins do not coincide, i.e., there are three translation parameters,
Δ
Z 0 , denoting the components of the old coordinate origin with respect
to the new coordinate origin along the three coordinate axes. The coordinate axes of
the two systems are mutually non-parallel, generally less than 1 00 for classical
geodetic coordinate systems, meaning that Euler angles
X 0 ,
Δ
Y 0 ,
Δ
ʵ z exist (known
also as the three rotation parameters). Apparently, these two systems can be made
coincident under translation and rotation. According to ( 7.7 ), we get:

For various reasons, there will also be a difference in scale while establishing the
two systems. Assume that S new and S old are the measurements of the same distance
in space in the new and old coordinate systems; then we can define
S new

as the scale factor of the two coordinate systems. Here,
m is homogeneous and is
independent of the point position and direction. Hence, the old coordinates can be
improved in accordance with the scale of
Δ
the new coordinate system, as
X
mZ old .
In ( 7.12 ), considering the effect of the scale factor means improving the (X, Y,
Z) T old in accordance with the above relations, namely:
