The transverse version is widely used in national and international mapping systems around the world, including the universal transverse mercator. Albanian 1987 6degree gauss kruger zone 4 area of use. Ejemplo tipico, correccion con 9 gcp, y matriz ajuste. The transverse mercator projection of the ellipsoid was derived by gauss as a special case of his general theory of conformal representation, and was introduced by him into the survey of hanover between. The result is a conformal projection that does not maintain true directions. In 1922 the transverse mercator projection with the gauss kruger grid also referred to as the gauss kruger projection in this text was selected for mapping purposes.
When paired with a suitable geodetic datum, the transverse mercator delivers high accuracy in zones less than a few degrees in eastwest extent. Although the set of gausskruger projection formulae recognized and used worldwide thus far is. Gauss kruger projection for areas of wide longitudinal extent. Maps with cylindrical projection wikimedia commons. Some places also add the zone number times one million to the 500,000 false easting value. Gauss kruger divides the world into zones six degrees wide. The ellipsoidal form of the transverse mercator projection was developed by carl friedrich gauss in 1825 and further analysed by johann heinrich louis kruger in 1912. One is a set of equations capable of micrometre accuracy anywhere within 30 of a central meridian of longitude. Pdf application for coordinate transformation between gaus. In cartography, the term gauss kruger, named after carl friedrich gauss and johann heinrich louis kruger, is used in three slightly different ways. Another synonym is gauss conformal projection sometimes, the term is used for a particular computational method for transverse mercator. In cartography, the term gausskruger, named after carl friedrich gauss and johann heinrich. The gauss kruger projection appears to have two different forms. Summary of projected epsg geodetic parameters coordinate.
The transverse mercator map projection is an adaptation of the standard mercator projection. The gauss kruger projection is a transverse cylindrical projection, the axis of the cylinder being at right angles to the axis of the earth. Gauss kruger is also known as ellipsoidal version of the transverse mercator projection because it is similar to the mercator projection, except that in gauss kruger the cylinder touches the sphere or ellipsoid along a meridian instead of along the equator. Albanian 1987 6degree gauss kruger zone 4 epsg abbreviation. Gk zone 5 could have a false easting value of 500,000 or 5,500,000 meters.
