Abstract

The Projection Engine Test Suite
Track: Defense and Intelligence
Authors: Cheryl Sakole

The Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit (CJMTK) team has created a test suite for Esri's projection engine-that component of ArcGIS which houses the fundamental functions used in calculating projections and coordinate conversions. The purpose of the test suite is to demonstrate that the projection engine is equivalent to GeoTrans-the National Geospatial Agency's engine for coordinate conversion. This presentation will comprise a discussion and demonstration of the projection engine test suite. Highlights will include a discussion of the extensibility of the test suite, i.e., the means by which it can be extended to allow for further exploration of the projection engine's capabilities.
