  2. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The adjective Cartesian refers to the French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes, who published this idea in 1637 while he was resident in the Netherlands.It was independently discovered by Pierre de Fermat, who also worked in three dimensions, although Fermat did not publish the discovery.

  4. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    The simplest example of a coordinate system is the identification of points on a line with real numbers using the number line.In this system, an arbitrary point O (the origin) is chosen on a given line.

  5. Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered,_Earth...

    The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its center of mass.

    GNSS systems: [2] Galileo Terrestrial Reference Frame (GTRF), ITRF2005; own implementation using IGS sites.; GPS just uses WGS 84, ITRF2020 since January 2024 (but used many versions of WGS 84 before), a little modified with International GNSS Service (IGS) implementation, IGS20.

  8. Geodetic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_coordinates

    Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).

  9. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    Curvilinear (top), affine (right), and Cartesian (left) coordinates in two-dimensional space. In geometry, curvilinear coordinates are a coordinate system for Euclidean space in which the coordinate lines may be curved.
