Abstract
As satellite positioning techniques are more frequently used, transformations of three-dimensional co-ordinates will become common practice. Methods of determining and applying transformation parameters for transforming 3D co-ordinates are discussed. The models, appropriate statistical tests and interpretation of the results will also be considered. The methods presented are applicable to many transformations required by surveyors in Australia. Some applications are the conversion of Doppler or GPS co-ordinates into the terrestrial networks and the comparison of Doppler, GPS or terrestrial data with SLR or VLBI data. In this paper particular emphasis will be placed on transformations between terrestrial and GPS data.Keywords
