Martin Desruisseaux updated SIS-212:
------------------------------------
Description:
This is an umbrella task for some coordinate operation methods not yet
supported in Apache SIS. Coordinate operations include _map projections_ (e.g.
Transverse Mercator, Lambert Conic Conformal, _etc._), _datum shifts_ (e.g.
transformations from NAD27 to NAD83 in United States), transformation of
vertical coordinates, _etc_. We can of course not list all possible formulas
that we do not support, but this JIRA task lists at least some of the
operations listed in the EPSG guidance notes.
The main material for this work is the EPSG guidance notes, which can be
downloaded freely from the following site:
{panel}
IOGP Publication 373-7-2 – Geomatics Guidance Note number 7, part 2
Coordinate Conversions and Transformations including Formulas
http://www.epsg.org/GuidanceNotes
{panel}
Google summer of code students interested in this work would need to be
reasonably comfortable with the Java language (but not necessarily with the JDK
library at large, since this work uses relatively few JDK classes outside
{{Math}}), and in mathematic. In particular, this work requires a good
understanding of _affine transforms_: their representation as a matrix, and how
to map a term in a formula to a coefficient in the affine transform matrix.
Apache SIS has one advanced feature which is not easily found in popular
geospatial software or text books: the capability to compute the _derivative_
(or more precisely, the _Jacobian_) of a transformation at a given point.
Implementation of this feature requires the capability to find the analytic
derivative of a non-linear formula and to simplify it.
Implementations of those formulas take place in one of the
{{org.apache.sis.referencing.operation}} sub-packages ({{projection}} or
{{transform}}). Implementations of JUnit test happen partially in Apache SIS,
and partially in the ["conformance module" of the GeoAPI
project|http://www.geoapi.org/geoapi-conformance/index.html], if possible
through the Geospatial Integrity of Geoscience Software (GIGS) tests.
