  2. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    In physics and astronomy, a frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system, whose origin, orientation, and scale have been specified in physical space. It is based on a set of reference points , defined as geometric points whose position is identified both mathematically (with numerical coordinate values) and ...

  3. International Terrestrial Reference System and Frame

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Terrestrial...

    BeiDou Coordinate System, China Terrestrial Reference Frame (CTRF) 2000 = ITRF97 at epoch 2000.0; own implementation. GLONASS PZ-90.11 is nominally its own system, but is quite close to ITRF and uses many of the same techniques. [2] National systems: United States: WGS 84 (see above); domestic use is mainly based on NAD 83 instead.

  4. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    In case of land vehicles like cars, tanks etc., which use the ENU-system (East-North-Up) as external reference (World frame), the vehicle's (body's) positive y- or pitch axis always points to its left, and the positive z- or yaw axis always points up. World frame's origin is fixed at the center of gravity of the vehicle.

  5. International Celestial Reference System and its realizations

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Celestial...

    A reference frame has been defined as "a catalogue of the adopted coordinates of a set of reference objects that serves to define, or realize, a particular coordinate frame". [7] A reference system is a broader concept, encompassing "the totality of procedures, models and constants that are required for the use of one or more reference frames ...

  6. Image registration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_registration

    Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. Data may be multiple photographs, data from different sensors, times, depths, or viewpoints. [ 1 ] It is used in computer vision , medical imaging , [ 2 ] military automatic target recognition , and compiling and analyzing images and data from ...

  7. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.)

  8. Perifocal coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perifocal_coordinate_system

    The perifocal coordinate system (with unit vectors p, q, w), against the reference coordinate system (with unit vectors I, J, K) The perifocal coordinate (PQW) system is a frame of reference for an orbit. The frame is centered at the focus of the orbit, i.e. the celestial body about which the orbit is centered.

  9. Category:Frames of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Frames_of_reference

    In physics, a frame of reference is often a useful way of defining a particular state of motion, the expected properties of a set of objects with a common state of motion, or how physics may appear to an observer with a state of motion. It is usually used to define a coordinate system that can be used as a reference for measurements and ...
