CONVERSION BETWEEN AUSTRIAN AND HUNGARIAN MAP PROJECTION SYSTEMS

Abstract

Conversion between Austrian and Hungarian map projection systems is presented here. The conversion may be performed in two steps: first any kind of map projection systems should be transformed into WGS-84 ellipsoidal co-ordinates in one country, and then from WGS-84 ellipsoidal co-ordinates should be transformed into the desired system for the other country. A computer programme has been developed to carry out all the possible transformations between the two countries. Using our method and software the transformation between Austrian and Hungarian map projection systems can be performed with a few centimeters accuracy for a few ten kilometers range of common border.
