I am working with surveying data, trying to maximize the accuracy. So far my group made the approximation that coordinates in ITRF2014 were close enough to WGS84 to not bother with the transformation but I would like to change that.</div><div><br></div><div>I am looking for advice on how to do this properly :</div><div><ul><li>Would you preferably use the geocentric coordinates for the transformation/projection?</li><li>Could I just do something like this : </li></ul></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>#with EPSG 7789 +> ITRF2014 geocentric and EPSG 32618 WGS84 UTM18N </div></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>transformer = Transformer.from_crs(7789,32618)</div></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>X2,Y2, Z2, _ = transformer.transform(xx=X, yy=Y,zz=Z, tt=g.epoch)</div></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><br></div></blockquote>During my experimentation I noticed that doing EPSG 7789 => EPSG 32618 holds different results (about 4cm diffrence) than
EPSG 7789 => EPSG 4919 => EPSG 32614
<br><div>Which surprised me as I thought that going from ITRF2014 to WGS84 involved a step through ITRF2000.</div><div><br></div><div>In the same way converting between ITRF geocentric (EPSG 7789) and ITRF2014 lat long Height (EPSG 7912) gives me some 7cm differences which confused me a lot and lead me to ask for help.</div><div><br></div><div>As a bonus question, do you know of a tool that support those transformation and could help me validate my results?<br><br>Thanks a lot for your help!<br>Happy end of the year!<br>Regards<br><br></div></div>
