On Finding a Projected Coordinate Reference System

The digital age has brought about an explosion in the growth of data, which data with a geographical component stands out. Proper use comes need for correct coordinate reference systems (CRSs). They are considered ultimate binder interoperability between geospatial actors and stakeholders. Moreover, CRSs crucial visual analytical integration from disparate sources. However, might be—for numerous reasons—incorrectly assigned or even missing. result is time-consuming study map, literature, available resources to ultimately find alleged right CRS. This provides summary prevailing national mapping agencies some European countries address above problem. Secondly, most importantly, development open-source Python-based software package. package aims accurately estimate best candidate CRS, given tuple coordinates at priori approximately known location. It controlled by geocoding location intersecting resulting bounding box all EPSG-database. An in-depth review CRS tools authorities reveals, particular, limitations concerning countries’ spatial areas, combination often required know-how local CRSs. To these shortcomings, our tool developed enable more generic extraction any worldwide. Testing proved successful 30 different maps, grid present on map being included
