Martin Desruisseaux updated SIS-369: ------------------------------------ Fix Version/s: (was: 1.1) 1.2 Affects Version/s: 1.1 1.0 > Better selection of datum shift method depending on desired accuracy > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SIS-369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-369 > Project: Spatial Information Systems > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Referencing > Affects Versions: 0.8, 1.0, 1.1 > Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2 > > > Coordinate operations may be slow, especially when datum shifts are involved. > When not using datum shift grid files, the most common method is _geocentric > translation_. The _Molodensky_ method is a little bit faster at the expanse > of accuracy, but that accuracy lost may be acceptable for example if the > scale on a map is not sufficient for seeing the difference. At very small > scale where each pixel is 10 km wide, we can even skip the datum shift > operation completely. The question is where to put the threshold. 5 meters > for _Molodensky_, 10 meters for _Abridged Molodensky_, 3 km for none? This > need to be measured, for example by trying all _geocentric translation_ > operations in the EPSG database. Once thresholds have been determined, the > {{DatumShiftMethod.forAccuracy(double)}} method should be updated accordingly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
