public interface ILcdGeocentricReference
extends ILcdGeoReference

An ILcdGeocentricReference is an ILcdGeoReference. Implementations should be based on a geodetic datum. Coordinates are expressed in (x,y,z) with regard to the center of the ellipsoid on which the geodetic datum is based. See the developers guide for a more elaborate explanation on geocentric references.

More information on references can be found on Coordinate Systems Overview by Peter H. Dana.

Method Detail

getUnitOfMeasure

double getUnitOfMeasure()

Returns the unit of measure of this geocentric reference with respect to meters. This means the if the unit of measure of this geocentric reference is 0.001 for instance, the unit of the values defined in this reference is millimeters.

Returns:

the unit of measure of this geocentric reference
