To derive the projected Easting and Northing coordinates of a point with geographical coordinates (lat,lon):
E = Ef + r sin(theta)
N = Nf + rf - r cos(theta)
where
mO = cos(latO)/(1 – e^2 sin^2(latO))^0.5 where latO is the latitude of natural origin
tO = tan(pi/4 – latO/2)/[(1 – e sin(latO))/(1 + e sin(latO))]^e/2
tf = tan(pi/4 – latF/2)/[(1 – e sin(latF))/(1 + e sin(latF))]^e/2
t = tan(pi/4 – lat/2)/[(1 – e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^e/2
n = sin(latO)
F = mO/(n tO^n)
rf = a F tf^n kO
r = a F t^n kO
lonF = lonO
theta = n(lon – lonO)
As with other conics, a negative n and r result for projections centered in the Southern Hemisphere.
The reverse formulas to derive the latitude and longitude of a point from its Easting and Northing values are:
lat = pi/2 - 2arctan{t'[(1 - e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^(e/2)}
lon = theta'/n +lonO
where
n, F, rf and lonO are derived as for the forward calculation
r' = +/-[(E - Ef)^2 + {rf - (N - Nf)}^2]^0.5 taking the sign of n
t' = (r'/(a k0 F))^(1/n)
If n is positive, theta' = atan2{(E – Ef) , [rf – (N – Nf)]}
but if n is negative the signs of both arguments of the atan2 function must be reversed and theta' = atan2{– (E – Ef) , – [rf – (N – Nf)]}
Note that the formula for lat requires iteration. First calculate t' and then a trial value for lat using
lat = π/2-2atan(t'). Then use the full equation for lat substituting the trial value into the right hand side of the equation. Thus derive a new value for lat. Iterate the process until lat does not change significantly. The solution should quickly converge, in 3 or 4 iterations.
Parameters:
Ellipsoid: GRS 1980, a = 6378137.000 m., 1/f = 298.2572221
then e = 0.081819191 and e^2 = 0.006694380
Latitude of natural origin LatO 44°22'45"N = 0.774562578 rad
Scale factor at natural origin ko 1.000000
Latitude of false origin LatF 45°11'00"N = 0.788597934 rad
Longitude of false origin LongF 6°49'00"E = 0.118973277 rad
Easting at false origin Ef 150000.00 m
Northing at false origin Nf 50000.00 m
Forward calculation for:
Latitude: 47°00'00.000"N = 0.820304748 rad
Longitude: 7°00'00.000"E = 0.12217304 rad
first gives
mO = 0.715900163 tO = 0.422551185 tf = 0.414305398
n = 0.699403505 F = 1.869760448 rf = 6439208.575
t = 0.395846092 r = 6237180.887 theta = 0.002237931
Then Easting E = 163958.366 m
Northing N = 252043.307 m
Reverse calculation for the same easting and northing first gives
r' = 6237180.887
t' = 0.395846092
theta' = 0.002237931
Then Latitude = 47°00'00.000"N
Longitude = 7°00'00.000"E
