Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 測量工程學系 === 86 === In this study, a new theory presented by Grafarend and You to solve the geodetic problems on the conformal projection maps is used. Linstedt- Poincare perturbation method is applied to solve analytically the geodetic problems on the universal Mercator projection map. The result of the numerical integration method is used as the indication for estimating the accuracy of analysis method. It is shown by using numerical method that the efficiency of computation on the universal Mercator map is worse than those on the ellipsoid in the area of high latitude, but it is almost the same in the area of low latitude. The analysis method presented in this study is only usable in the area between the latitudes about 45 . Latitude, azimuth and geodesic length all will have effects on the accuracy of solutions. As for analysis method, when initial latitude and geodesic length enlarge and initial azimuth lessens, it needs to increase perturbation terms and the order of perturbation solution in order to obtain a satisfying accuracy. But in this approach, when perturbation terms is fixed, one order of perturbation solution which has the best accuracy exists, and it is useless to increase the order for elevating the accuracy. The circle needed by the geodesic going back to the initial position will be researched, and the difference of the corresponding Y- coordinates will be evaluated, too.
