dem_ecef_to_geodetic — DEM geodesy op

Data kinds: pointspoints

Call: import demops; demops.dem_ecef_to_geodetic(xyz) (or opsdem.get("dem_ecef_to_geodetic"))

Usage

> This operator's description has not been translated yet. The original text follows as it is.

ECEF → 測地座標。返りは `(..., 3)(緯度[度], 経度[度], 高さ[m])`。

Bowring (1976) の閉形式に近い解法。往復(測地→ECEF→測地)の誤差は

実測で緯度・経度が 1e-12 度未満、高さが 1e-7 m 未満。

地心座標が欲しいだけなら、`r = |xyz|` と

`geocentric_lat = asin(z/r)` で足りる —— ただしそれは測地緯度ではない

(両者は最大 0.19 度、距離にして約 21 km ずれる)。この op が返すのは

地図や GPS と同じ測地緯度のほう。
