Vector methods to compute azimuth, elevation, ellipsoidal normal, and the Cartesian (X, Y, Z) to geodetic (φ, λ, h) transformation
Abstract Vector-based algorithms for the computation of azimuth, elevation and the ellipsoidal normal unit vector from 3D Cartesian coordinates are presented. As a by-product, the formulae for the ellipsoidal normal vector can also be used to iteratively transform rectangular Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) into geodetic coordinates (φ, λ, h) for a height range from −5600 km to $ 10^{8} $ km. Comparisons with existing methods indicate that the new transformation can compete with them.
