Closed-form and iterative weighted least squares solutions of Helmert transformation parameters

The Helmert transformation is the most common transformation between different geodetic systems. In 2-D, in contrast to higher dimensions, it is a well-known procedure how to determine the 4 transformation parameters in a closed form. Here we derive the closed-form weighted least squares solution in...
