local_transverse_mercator_to_wgs84(easting, northing, reference_latitude, reference_longitude)[source]#

Convert local transverse mercator coordinates into WGS84.

A local transverse mercator projection is a coordinate system measuring meters east and north of a fixed point.

Parameters:
eastingfloat, array_like

Meters easting.

northingfloat, array_like

Meters northing.

reference_latitudefloat

The WGS84 latitude of the fixed reference point.

reference_longitudefloat

The WGS84 longitude of the fixed reference point.

Returns:
latitudefloat, array_like

The WGS84 latitude in degrees, positive on the northern hemisphere and negative on the souther hemisphere.

longitudefloat, array_like

The WGS84 longitude in degrees, positive is east and negative is west of the prime meridian.
