4 Parameter Helmert 3D

Based on the Helmert family of transformations, a 4 Parameter Helmert 3D transformation is similar to a 7 Parameter CFR transformation, except it does not include rotations.

Parameters needed to define a 4 Parameter transformation are:

Parameter

Often Noted as

X Translation

dX

Y Translation

dY

Z Translation

dZ

Scale

k

Note: The 4 Parameter Helmert transformations used in Vector Scale, Translate and Rotate jobs, and Point Database Scale & Translate jobs, are 2D transforms using Scale, Rotation, X Translation, and Y Translation parameters.
