 Coordinate system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rotation of coordinate systems is covered in depth on wikibooks.
In physics, a scalar is a physical quantity which assumes a single value which is a "real" quantity independent of the coordinate system.
Although any specific coordinate system is useful for numerical calculations in a given space, the space itself is considered to exist independently of any particular choice of coordinates.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

  
 * Coordinate - (GIS): Definition
Coordinate systems may be independent of or tied to a particular map projection...
All the ASDB coordinates have been computed using the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection.
Coordinate - The position of point is space in respect to a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y and/or z values).

 Coordinate Systems
The tvd coordinate system, as defined by Epicentre, is generally defined in conjunction with the measured depth coordinate system, as the coordinates are typically transformed to reference sea level as a datum.
One is for use as a measured depth coordinate system, and the other four are for elevations or true vertical depths.
The measured depth coordinate system is defined as distance as measured along a well path.

 Coordinate Systems
The reconciliation of coordinate systems between maps and digital geographic data can at times involve a lot of guess-work, and can result in an unpredictible spatial mismatch of data that will impact the quality of your analysis, and could render all of your findings indefensible.
When transforming coordinate systems it is important to think about transformation the way we think about other associative functions in information systems -- that is we are trying to define a function that simulates the actual distortion of the geometry in the unknown system.
There are two basic problems, one is where the coordinate system of one of the data sets is unknown, and the other is when we know specific information about each of them.

 ASC Coordinate Transformation-The Pixlib Library
The coordinate transformation computation utilizes matrix arithmetic algorithms for coding efficiency and software reusability.
Once the coordinate framework is built (or initiated), a requested transformation call from, say, CPC to FP, is able to output coordinates in CPC for given coordinates in FP without asking for other inputs.
The pixlib coordinate transformation computations are performed with matrix arithmetic.

 SCO Web: Wisconsin County Coordinate Systems
Since the Wisconsin systems were designed using the parallel ellipsoid method, a new reference ellipsoid needs to be defined for each local system by adding the value in Wisconsin) to the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the GRS 80 ellipsoid used to define the NAD 83 datum.
The coordinate systems are mathematically based and related to the National Geodetic Reference System (NGRS).
This step identified any computational coordinate value interpretation errors and verified the quality of the projection against the design constraints.

 Welcome to CGarchitect.com
Screen Reference Coordinate System allows you to move objects in space based on your line of site in non-orthographic viewports and is useful for moving logos across the scene, for example.
The next Reference Coordinate System in the list is Parent, which requires an object to be hierarchically linked to another object in the parent/child relationship.
However, the World Coordinate System is just the starting point for the possibilities for maneuvering and manipulating objects in space.

 Using the Coordinate Service
MapSystems, unlike the other coordinate systems provided, can support a null or unspecified reference system enabling the creation of stand alone map systems, unrelated to any other geographical or map coordinate system.
The coordinate systems can be referenced by their names.
The origin of the map system is at the point where the plane is tangential to the geographical system's reference ellipsoid.

 Astronomical Coordinate Systems
The coordinate systems considered here are all based at one reference point in space with respect to which the positions are measured, the origin of the reference frame (typically, the location of the observer, or the center of Earth, the Sun, or the Milky Way Galaxy).
The second coordinate of a position in the horizon system is defined by the point where the verticle circle of the position cuts the horizon.
This coordinate system is most useful for considerations of objects beyond the solar system, especially for considerations of objects of our Milky Way galaxy, and sometimes beyond.

 NetCDF Coordinate Conventions: Coordinate Systems Proposals
In general, I agree with Walker and Waring's post http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/coords/0058.html In particular their comment about multidimensional coordinate variables (as proposed by me and others) that: "From a purely mathematical (and esthetic)point of view, we also find the implied statement that d1, for example, depends on things other than d1, is confusing and illogical.
Since I've been thinking a lot about coordinate systems that should be useful for any netcdf use, I would like to complete that discussion first, then use whatever agreements we might make as a foundation for the "higher level" semantics needed for climate data.
I plan to post soon some formal definitions that I hope will be useful, also various examples that would be useful for a convention to cover, and that I hope others will contribute to.

 Coordinate systems in Flat
Usually this involves subtracting the y coordinate from the height of the window.
The lasers are tilted -45 and 45 degrees respectively, again in the Spot coordinate system.
The Flat environment has a reference frame whose positive X-axis extends to the right, and whose positive Y-axis extends downward.

 Quality Magazine: Quality 101:Understanding Coordinate Metrology
Before the introduction of computer software to coordinate measurement, parts were physically aligned parallel to the machine’s axes so that the Machine and Part Coordinate Systems were parallel to each other.
With today’s measurement and inspection software, the CMM measures the part’s datums (from the part print), establishes the Part Coordinate System and mathematically relates it to the Machine Coordinate System.
The X, Y and Z axes of the Machine Coordinate System refer to the machine’s motions.

 Coordinate Systems
Negative values for spatial coordinates indicate that the object moved in the opposite direction of that expected when the coordinate system was defined.
It is important to carefully define the coordinate system we use, since it will provide the means to consistently measure the quantities we wish to include in our computations.
We will need to graphically analyze many of our systems, if only for the purpose of making sure that we understand the problem we are to solve.

 Interoperable Coordinate Transformation and Identification of Coordinate Systems
Latitude and longitude are referenced to a geodetic datum while elevation is referenced to a vertical datum.
Overlay will be easier using interoperable coordinate transformation software.
The OpenGIS Consortium (OGC), an industry group, has developed a Java interface specification allowing vendors to develop mutually interoperable coordinate transformation components for geospatial software.

 World Coordinate Systems as Objects
A Mapping may use any number of input and output coordinates so as to match the, possibly different, dimensionalities of the coordinate systems it inter-relates.
This uses a general algorithm which does not depend on knowledge of the coordinates being represented, so can also handle programmer-defined coordinate systems.
Although good algorithms exist to transform between celestial coordinate systems, understanding the relationship between the many different systems in use requires considerable expertise.

 Coordinate Systems Overview
This overview of coordinate systems for georeferencing provides a brief description of local and global systems for use in precise positioning, navigation, and geographic information systems for the location of points in space.
Designed for simple distance calculations that could be accomplished in the field with a slide rule, the system is still found imbedded in some telephone rate computation software.
Different nations and agencies use different datums as the basis for coordinate systems used to identify positions in geographic information systems, precise positioning systems, and navigation systems.

 Using WMS to Perform Coordinate Conversions
By saving the *.img file after converting coordinates, the registration information acts to transform the original image to that coordinate system whenever WMS opens the *.img file.
As mentioned, any files already in the common coordinate system will not need to be transformed beforehand.
Finally, the user opens all the files with the same coordinate system into WMS.

 WCSTools: Image World Coordinate System Utilities
WCSTools is a package of programs and a library of utility subroutines for setting and using the world coordinate systems (WCS) in the headers of the most common astronomical image formats, FITS and IRAF.imh, to relate image pixels to sky coordinates.
Astronomers often need to relate positions on an image of the sky to positions on the real sky to identify catalogued objects in images, tell other people where to look to find an identified object, or to compute motions of planets, satellites, asteroids, or comets.
This software was originally inspired by the impending standardization of WCS keywords in FITS as discussed at the 1994 ADASS Conference.

 Coordinates and similar figures
The origin below is where the x-axis and the y-axis meet.
The x value or x-coordinate tells how far left or right the point is from the point (0,0), just like on the number line (negative is left of the origin, positive is right of the origin).
The y value or y-coordinate tells how far up or down the point is from the point (0,0), (negative is down from the origin, positive is up from the origin).

 Houghton Mifflin Mathematics Grade 4: Chapter 11: Coordinate Graphing: When Students Ask
Coordinate graphing sounds very dramatic, but it is actually just a visual method for showing relationships between numbers.
Each point can be identified by an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate.
You can also describe this relationship with the algebraic equation x + 2 = y.

 Celestial Coordinate System
It is useful to impose on the celestial sphere a coordinate system that is analogous to the latitude-longitude system employed for the surface of the Earth.
This coordinate system is illustrated in the following figure (for which you should imagine the earth to be a point at the center of the sphere).
In the celestial coordinate system the North and South Celestial Poles are determined by projecting the rotation axis of the Earth to intersect the celestial sphere, which in turn defines a Celestial Equator.
