Class Name: OM Location 2D

Superclass - Location 2D

Definition

A coordinate within the Oblique Mercator (OM) 2D Spatial Reference Frame (SRF).

The Oblique Mercator projection-based Spatial Reference Frame is a cylindrical, conformal projection placed tangent to the Object Reference Model/Earth Reference Model (ORM/ERM) along lines which are neither meridians nor parallels. When secant, two rather than a single "central line" are defined; alternatively this can be expressed as a "central scale factor". The "central line" is defined by two locations on the ORM/ERM.

When used to define a 2D spatial reference frame, the resulting X and Y axes are measured in meters (rather than arc degrees), and a local origin offset is provided. The X axis lies along the central line, increasing from the first to second parametric location; the Y axis is perpendicular to the central line and forms a 2D right-handed coordinate system. The origin is defined by the first parametric location.

(Note that the central line is never along a parallel or meridian, in which cases the projection-based SRF thus defined would be either a Mercator (M) or Transverse Mercator (TM), respectively.)

See the SEDRIS Spatial Reference Model (SRM) for additional details.
