<p>This operation converts geocentric coordinate values (X, Y, Z) to topocentric
(E/East, N/North, U/Up) values. This is also sometimes known as the ECEF (Earth
Centered Earth Fixed) to ENU conversion.</p>
<p>Topocentric coordinates are expressed in a frame whose East and North axis form
a local tangent plane to the Earth’s ellipsoidal surface fixed to a specific
location (the topocentric origin), and the Up axis points upwards along the
normal to that plane.</p>
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../../_images/ECEF_ENU_Longitude_Latitude_relationships.png"><img alt="ENU coordinate frame" class="align-center" src="../../_images/ECEF_ENU_Longitude_Latitude_relationships.png" style="width: 400.0px; height: 379.0px;" /></a>
<p>The topocentric origin is a required parameter of the conversion, and can be
expressed either as geocentric coordinates (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">X_0</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Y_0</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Z_0</span></code>) or
as geographic coordinates (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lat_0</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lon_0</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">h_0</span></code>).</p>
<p>When conversion between geographic and topocentric coordinates is desired, the
topocentric conversion must be preceded by the <a class="reference internal" href="cart.html#cart"><span class="std std-ref">Geodetic to cartesian conversion</span></a> conversion to
perform the initial geographic to geocentric coordinates conversion.</p>
<p>The formulas used come from the “Geocentric/topocentric conversions” paragraph
of <span id="id1">[<a class="reference internal" href="../../zreferences.html#id17" title="IOGP. Geomatics guidance note 7, part 2: coordinate conversions &amp; transformations including formulas.
