Coordinate Reference System Transformations. This is a "JVM library" implemented with Kotlin, but usable from e.g. Java/Kotlin/Scala/Groovy/Jython/JRuby (see the sample code). Most of the test code is written with Java, and the third-part libraries used from Kotlin are also implemented with Java.

License Notice

Notice that the "core" library with the adapter API and general code is released with MIT License.
However, the adapter implementations libraries are licensed in the same way as the adapted libraries which is specified in separate "LICENSE_NOTICE" files (in the adapter base directories) for each such implementation.

Information about this Coordinate Reference System Transformations library

This Kotlin/Java/JVM project is intended for transforming coordinates between different coordinate reference systems (CRS).
The code has been implemented with Kotlin but the tests (and the generated constants in the subproject "crs-transformation-constants") are implemented with Java.
There is sample code for the following JVM languages (tested with Windows 10 and the language versions specified below):

The third-part libraries (the adaptee's below) are Java libraries.
Versions of Java and Kotlin: Java 8 and Kotlin 1.8.0
(in the release 2.0.1 but since then the Kotlin version might have been upgraded in this git repository)

Known problems

Android/GeoTools problem

The GeoTools adapter CrsTransformationAdapterGeoTools i.e. the implementation using GeoTools does not work for Android.
As you can see in the implementation, it uses the methods "CRS.decode" and "CRS.findMathTransform" in the class org.geotools.referencing.CRS which is currently coupled with dependencies to the Java GUI libraries "awt" and "swing" (java.awt.geom.Point2D , java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D, javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent , javax.swing.event.ChangeListener)

Jython/GeoTools problem

The GeoTools adapter does not work when using Jython, as mentioned in the comments in the Jython sample file sample_code/jython/CrsTransformation.py

GeoTools and the Maven Central repository

GeoTools does not seem to release all needed artifacts to "Maven Central" and therefore you should add another repository in your gradle or maven configuration file.
The currently documented repository URL for GeoTools is:
https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/geotools-releases/
(according to https://github.com/geotools/geotools/blob/main/pom.xml and https://mvnrepository.com/repos/geotools-releases)
but also this URL:
https://repo.osgeo.org/repository/release/
(according to https://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/build/maven/repositories.html)
("currently" = 2023-01-07 when the above three URL's github.com/mvnrepository.com/geotools.org, were checked)

See the below sections Gradle configuration and Maven configuration regarding how to configure the above GeoTools repository.

If you are using Scala/SBT you can see the resolvers configuration in the file sample_code/scala/build.sbt.
If you are using Ant/Ivy you can see the resolvers configuration in the file sample_code/ivy_dependencies/ivysettings.xml

Usage

The methods for transforming coordinates are defined in the interface CrsTransformationAdapter.
There are ten classes implementing the interface. Six 'leafs' and four 'composites'.
Each leaf adapter is using some adaptee library for the implementation.
The four 'composites' are using the leafs like this:

  • Median (transform with many leafs and use the median latitude/longitude result as the aggregated result)
  • Average (transform with many leafs and use the average latitude/longitude result as the aggregated result)
  • Weighted average (transform with many leafs and use the weighted average latitude/longitude result as the aggregated result)
  • First success (iterate a list of leafs and try to transform until some result seem to have succeeded)

Java:

        // The interface with ten implementations as illustrated below
        CrsTransformationAdapter crsTransformationAdapter;
        // The interface is defined in the library "crs-transformation-adapter-core" with this full name:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformations.CrsTransformationAdapter        

        // The six 'Leaf' implementations:

        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-proj4j", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterProj4J.CrsTransformationAdapterProj4J;
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterProj4J();

        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-proj4jlocationtech", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterProj4jLocationtech.CrsTransformationAdapterProj4jLocationtech;
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterProj4jLocationtech();
        
        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-orbisgis", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterOrbisgisCTS.CrsTransformationAdapterOrbisgisCTS;        
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterOrbisgisCTS();

        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-nga", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterNgaGeoInt.CrsTransformationAdapterNgaGeoInt;
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterNgaGeoInt();

        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-geotools", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterGeoTools.CrsTransformationAdapterGeoTools;        
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterGeoTools();

        // Library "crs-transformation-adapter-impl-goober", class:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformationAdapterGooberCTL.CrsTransformationAdapterGooberCTL;        
        crsTransformationAdapter = new CrsTransformationAdapterGooberCTL();
        // - - - - - - - - - - - -

        // The four 'Composite' implementations below are all located in the library
        // "crs-transformation-adapter-core" and the factory class is:
        // com.programmerare.crsTransformations.compositeTransformations.CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory

        crsTransformationAdapter = CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory.createCrsTransformationMedian();

        crsTransformationAdapter = CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory.createCrsTransformationAverage();

        crsTransformationAdapter = CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory.createCrsTransformationFirstSuccess();

        // All of the above three factory methods without any parameter will try to use as many of the six 'leaf' 
        // implementations as are available at the class path (e.g. are included as dependencies with Gradle or Maven).
        // All above three factory methods are also overloaded with methods taking 
        // a parameter 'List<CrsTransformationAdapter>' if you prefer to explicit define which 'leafs' to use.

        // The fourth 'Composite' below does not have any overloaded method without parameter 
        // but if you want to use a result created as a weighted average then the weights need 
        // to be specified per leaf implementation as in the example below.

        crsTransformationAdapter = CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory.createCrsTransformationWeightedAverage(Arrays.asList(
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterProj4J(), 1.0),
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterProj4jLocationtech(), 1.0),
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterOrbisgisCTS(), 1.0),
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterNgaGeoInt(), 1.0),
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterGeoTools(), 1.0),
            CrsTransformationAdapterWeight.createFromInstance(new CrsTransformationAdapterGooberCTL(), 2.0)
        ));
        // The weight values above illustrates a situation where you (for some reason) want to consider 
        // the transformation result from 'goober' as being 'two times better' than the others.

All of the transform methods (defined in the above interface CrsTransformationAdapter) need two parameters, one input coordinate and one parameter specifying the target system i.e. to which coordinate reference system the input coordinate will be transformed to.

The target system can be specified with three data types (i.e. with overloaded methods), either an integer or a string, or a 'CrsIdentifier'.
If an integer or string is used, then internally an 'CrsIdentifier' will be created, to send it as parameter to the adapter implementations.
Therefore, if you intend to do many transformation from or to a coordinate reference system, then you may choose to create an instace of CrsIdentifier yourself, but for more convenience you may want to use the overloaded methods with integer as parameter (or maybe string if you already have acess to some "EPSG:"-string, see example below).

A coordinate includes information about the coordinate reference system, i.e. a 'CrsIdentifier' but there are also factory methods (creating coordinate instances) which are overloaded with integer or string parameters.

There are many factory methods with different names and different order for the two (x/y) position values as illustated in the example below.
Depending on the desired semantic in your context, you may want to use the different methods (or similarly named accessors in CrsCoordinate) like this:

  • x/y for a geocentric or cartesian system
  • longitude/latitude for a geodetic or geographic system
  • easting/northing for a cartographic or projected system
  • xEastingLongitude/yNorthingLatitude for general code handling different types of system

Java:

        final int epsgNumber = 4326;
        final String crsCode = "EPSG:" + epsgNumber;
        CrsIdentifier crsIdentifier; // package com.programmerare.crsTransformations.crsIdentifier
        crsIdentifier = CrsIdentifierFactory.createFromEpsgNumber(epsgNumber);
        // Alternative:
        crsIdentifier = CrsIdentifierFactory.createFromCrsCode(crsCode);

        final double latitude = 59.330231;
        final double longitude = 18.059196;

        CrsCoordinate crsCoordinate; // package com.programmerare.crsTransformations.coordinate
        // All the below methods are alternatives for creating the same coordinate 
        // with the above latitude/longitude and coordinate reference system.
        // No class or object is used for the methods below because of the following static import:
        // import static com.programmerare.crsTransformations.coordinate.CrsCoordinateFactory.*;
        crsCoordinate = latLon(latitude, longitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = latLon(latitude, longitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = latLon(latitude, longitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = lonLat(longitude, latitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = lonLat(longitude, latitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = lonLat(longitude, latitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = yx(latitude, longitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = yx(latitude, longitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = yx(latitude, longitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = xy(longitude, latitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = xy(longitude, latitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = xy(longitude, latitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = northingEasting(latitude, longitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = northingEasting(latitude, longitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = northingEasting(latitude, longitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = eastingNorthing(longitude, latitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = eastingNorthing(longitude, latitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = eastingNorthing(longitude, latitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = createFromYNorthingLatitudeAndXEastingLongitude(latitude, longitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = createFromYNorthingLatitudeAndXEastingLongitude(latitude, longitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = createFromYNorthingLatitudeAndXEastingLongitude(latitude, longitude, crsIdentifier);

        crsCoordinate = createFromXEastingLongitudeAndYNorthingLatitude(longitude, latitude, epsgNumber);
        crsCoordinate = createFromXEastingLongitudeAndYNorthingLatitude(longitude, latitude, crsCode);
        crsCoordinate = createFromXEastingLongitudeAndYNorthingLatitude(longitude, latitude, crsIdentifier);


        CrsIdentifier targetCrs = CrsIdentifierFactory.createFromEpsgNumber(3006);
        
        // Below is one (of ten) implementation of CrsTransformationAdapter created (see further up at this page for the others)  
        CrsTransformationAdapter crsTransformationAdapter = CrsTransformationAdapterCompositeFactory.createCrsTransformationMedian();
        
        CrsTransformationResult crsTransformationResult = crsTransformationAdapter.transform(crsCoordinate, targetCrs);
        // see also more example code further down in this webpage

Adaptee libraries used by the adapter libraries in the release 2.0.1

Released library versions

The following eight artifacts (version 2.0.1, "except crs-transformation-constants") from this code project have been released/distributed to the Maven "Central Repository" (Sonatype OSSRH "Open Source Software Repository Hosting Service"):

  • crs-transformation-adapter-core
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-proj4j (CrsTransformationAdapterProj4J)
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-proj4jlocationtech (CrsTransformationAdapterProj4jLocationtech)
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-orbisgis (CrsTransformationAdapterOrbisgisCTS)
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-nga (CrsTransformationAdapterNgaGeoInt)
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-geotools (CrsTransformationAdapterGeoTools) (the adaptee library currently does not seem to be deployed to Maven Central, see comment below)
    Note: Known GeoTools problems
  • crs-transformation-adapter-impl-goober (CrsTransformationAdapterGooberCTL) (only used for Swedish CRS, see comment below)
  • crs-transformation-constants (version 10.027)

The six above libraries which includes "impl" in the name are adapter implementations of the above "core" library.
Those six adapters are using the six adaptee libraries for the coordinate transformations.

The above 'goober' library is only useful for transformation between WGS84 (which is a very common global CRS) and the Swedish coordinate reference systems (CRS) SWEREF99 (13 versions e.g. "SWEREF99 TM") and RT90 (6 versions e.g. "RT90 2.5 gon V").

The above 'geotools' library is using GeoTools which currently seems to not be distributed to "Maven Central" but can be used by adding an additional repository as described in the Known problems sections of this webpage.
(but currently can GeoTools not be used from Android or Jython as mentioned within that same section of known problems)

The above artifact "crs-transformation-constants" is actually totally independent from the others.
It is not depending on anything and nothing depends on it.
It is a Java library (i.e. not even depending on Kotlin) with only one class with a lot of Java constants.
(the other six artifacts/libraries are implemented with Kotlin and thus have an implicit dependency to a Kotlin artifact)
The constant class has been generated from the EPSG database version 10.027 which is the reason for the version number.

Gradle configuration

The "constants" library is not needed but might be interesting if you want to use constants for the EPSG numbers rather than hardcoding them or define your own integer constants.
The "repository" for geotools is only needed if you want to use the library for geotools.
Below you can see one URL for geotools repository but might find more potential URL's in the section Known problems

The library "crs-transformation-constants" with EPSG integer constants

The integer constants are generated by using the EPSG Dataset.
Each constant is used for defining a coordinate reference system (CRS).
The name of a constant is a concatenation of the following three parts:

  • Name of the area (e.g. country)

  • Name of the CRS

  • EPSG number (also the integer value for the constant)

    (note that the SQL in the screenshot below only worked until version 9 of the EPSG Dataset, and if you are interested in the SQL for version 10+ you can look at the bottom of the file CodeGeneratorBase.kt ) EPSG_SQL
    The above three parts are concatenated (in the above order) with two underscores as separator between the parts.
    Spaces and other special characters are replaced with underscores.
    The names are also uppercased.

The above examples with constants are just showing a very few of them.
The actual number of constants in the generated class was 6733 (for version 9.5.4).
This number can easily be retrieved with the Java reflection code 'EpsgNumber.class.getFields().length'.
The same number can also be verified with the value returned by the SQL statement 'SELECT count(DISTINCT coord_ref_sys_code) FROM epsg_coordinatereferencesystem' (or simply 'SELECT count(*) FROM epsg_coordinatereferencesystem' since 'coord_ref_sys_code' is the primary key).

About

Coordinate Reference System Transformations. This is a "JVM library" implemented with Kotlin, but usable from e.g. Java/Kotlin/Scala/Groovy/Jython/JRuby (see the sample code). Most of the test code is written with Java, and the third-part libraries used from Kotlin are also implemented with Java.
