About REFRAME

Info about DLL / Source: https://shop.swisstopo.admin.ch/de/products/geo_software/DLL_info

GeoSuite calculation module for planimetric and/or height transformation for application in the Swiss national survey and the cadastral survey. The REFRAME library allows all transformations of coordinates and heights, which are relevant in Switzerland and available in the REFRAME for GeoSuite software, except UTM projection:

• GPSREF (ETRF93 <-> LV95)

• FINELTRA (LV95 <-> LV03)

• CHGEO2004 (geoid model)

• HTRANS (LHN95 <-> LN02)

The REFRAME library may be distributed to third parties and integrated into commercial products, but it must be delivered to the customer free of charge.

ReframeLibrary/Documentation/developper_manual.pdf contains all technical information about REFRAME library.

ReframeLibrary/Documentation/refsys_d.pdf contains information and formulas about transformations and projection

Installation

Just install the package:

pip install swissreframe

Requirements

• Java x64/x86 (swissREFRAME starts a JVM to execute REFRAME jar library, tested with 8.0_231)

• Python 3 (tested with 3.7.5)

• JPype1 (tested with 0.7.0)

Example / Usage

from swissreframe import Coordinate, initialize_reframe

r = initialize_reframe()

This should work. But you can also specify path to reframeLib.jar:

r = initialize_reframe(path_reframeLib_jar = r'D:\jar\reframeLib.jar')

and also path to jvm.dll:

r = initialize_reframe(path_jvm_dll = r'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin\server\jvm.dll')

Now you can use the methods REFRAME.compute_reframe and REFRAME.compute_gpsref

result1 = r.compute_reframe((600000.1, 200000.1, 200), 'lv03_military', 'lv95', 'ln02', 'lhn95')
print(result1)
result2 = r.compute_gpsref((2600000.1, 1200000.1, 200), 'lv95_to_etrf93_geographic')
print(result2)

Output:

(2600000.182999904, 1200000.1660008044, 199.92481259693554)
(7.438633764230579, 46.95108371391055, 249.62218793481588)

Or you can use class Coordinate and its methods:

coord = Coordinate(type='plane', planimetric_frame='lv03_military', altimetric_frame='ln02',
                   coordinates=(600000.1, 200000.1, 200.1))
print(coord.ETRF95_geocentric)

Output:

(4325124.392962725, 564701.4910050733, 4638236.373010437)
