Russia introduces new online service for high-precision coordinate conversion

The Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies presented a prototype of an online service for converting coordinates that takes into account the movement and deformation of the earth's crust. The development reduces errors in determining the coordinates of objects from the decimeter to centimeter level, which makes it unique in its kind. The project was implemented within the framework of the GEOTECH-Quantum-2 initiative under the supervision of Leonid Lipatnikov, PhD in engineering, associate professor and research fellow at SSUGiT, with the support of the Roskadastr subcompany.

The new service allows automatic conversion of coordinates between static (GSK-2011, MSK) and dynamic (PZ-90.11, ITRF) coordinate systems. The interface includes convenient tools for data entry, a server module and information exchange protocol, as well as an improved model of territorial deformation. This allows users to obtain ultra-precise coordinates without reference to the geodetic network, using GLONASS signals and other global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

Test access to the service prototype is available at the link: https://service.geocentric.xyz/.

The project opens new horizons for geodesy, cartography and satellite technologies in Russia, offering effective tools for automation and increasing the accuracy of coordinate calculations.
