Direction Cosine Matrix ECEF to NED to Latitude and Longitude

Computation of latitude and longitude using the conversion matrix from ECEF to NED.

direction cosine matrix ecef to ned to latitude and longitude

Description

The Direction Cosine Matrix ECEF to NED to Latitude and Longitude block calculates the geodetic latitude and longitude based on the direction cosine matrix for the transition from the Greenwich rectangular coordinate system (The Earth-center, Earth-fixed (ECEF) system) to the local North-east-down (NED) tangent coordinate system (The north-east-down (NED) system) using the formulas:



The transformation matrix is of the form:

The values of geodetic latitude are in the range [-90°, +90°]. The values of geodetic longitude are [-180°, +180°].
