REFRAME

Software for the transition of reference frames in position and/or height for applications in the Swiss national survey and in the cadastral survey with highest accuracy requirements.

The simultaneous transformation of several files with unlimited number of points respectively objects is possible.
For the automation of large calculations REFRAME has also a command-line mode, which is suitable for the batch processing (batch mode).

 

REFRAME 1.5.1043 (12.03.2010)

 

System software:Windows / Linux* / MacOS*
Languages:German / French / English
Remark:The customers of CHGeo, FINELTRA, HTRANS or TransILI benefit from «Upgrade» price.

* Mono Platform External website. Content opens in new window required (free)

Supported reference frames

  • ETRF93/CHTRF95/~WGS84 geographic, geocentric or UTM coordinates
  • LV95 national coordinates
  • LV03 national coordinates 
  • Ellipsoidal heights (Bessel or GRS80)
  • Orthometric heights LHN95 
  • Usual heights LN02

 

Supported file formats

  • LTOP (coordinates and measures) 
  • ESRI Shapefile 
  • AutoCAD DXF 
  • Interlis 1 (ITF/ILI), Adalin OneOne 
  • Topobase .K 
  • World file (TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, ECW, PNG, GIF, BMP)
  • GeoTIFF
  • ER Mapping ECW
  • Text with Separator (e.g. CSV Excel/OpenOffice)

 

Raster data transformation

  • Transformation of the metadata (georeferencing) - no resampling
  • 3 transformation methods:
    • Individual (1 image)
      => relative to the center of the image
    • Local mosaic (high resolution) 
      => relative to the center of gravity of an image mosaic
    • Mosaic with a large extension (low resolution)
      => constant translation of 2'000'000 / 1'000'000
  • Optionally the translation can be rounded to entire pixels
  • The picture is not completely loaded into RAM => high speed
  • Accuracy values are displayed: residuals in the image corners, maximum distorsion (in meters and pixels)

 

Other features and tools

  • Protocol generation (*. log)
  • Command line mode (batch / script)
  • Conversion of LTOP measures into coordinates files and vice versa
  • Generation of Google KML files (Google Earth / Maps or Swiss Map) from Swiss national coordinates or GPS data (NMEA)
  • Interactive help
