A fast iteration algorithm for solving the geocentric earth latitude coordination based on the geocentric cartesian coordination

Abstract

A fast iteration algorithm proposed is applied to solve the latitude of geocentric earth coordination from geocentric Cartesian coordination. Comparing with other well-known algorithms, the simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm is better in computation speed, computation precision and simpler in computation complexity; therefore, it is available for the portable. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
