Converter Cartesian coordinate to Geodetic coordinate
Converter Cartesian coordinates to Geodetic coordinates
on Triaxial Ellipsoid or Biaxial Ellipsoid or Sphere
(x/a)^2+(y/b)^2+(z/c)^2=1 Triaxial(general) Ellipsoid Equation
Cartesian To Geodetic x y z ==> B L h
Parameters:
* X, [x y z] - Cartesian coordinatesdata, n x 3 matrix or three n x 1 vectors
* axis,[a; b; c] - ellipsoid radii [a; b; c],its axes % along [x y z] axes
For Triaxial ellipsoid ,it must be a > b > c
For Biaxial ellipsoid ,it must be a = b > c
For Sphere ,it must be a = b = c
Output:
* Geo,[B,L,h] - Geodetic coordinates [latitude(deg);longitude(deg);ellipsoidal height(m)]
