Interface GeocentricCRS
- All Superinterfaces:
- CoordinateReferenceSystem, GeodeticCRS, IdentifiedObject, ReferenceSystem, SingleCRS
@UML(identifier="SC_GeocentricCRS",
specification=ISO_19111)
public interface GeocentricCRS
- extends GeodeticCRS
A 3D coordinate reference system with the origin at the approximate centre of mass of the earth.
A geocentric CRS deals with the earth's curvature by taking a 3D spatial view, which obviates
the need to model the earth's curvature.
