By Elysonia Alim Supervised by Dr. Shahabuddin Amerudin UTM Undergraduate Thesis Year 2018 It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another. The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the phenomenon happening in a specific area. However, even commercial software had been proven to have questionable accuracy in coordinate system conversions. The purpose of this study is to develop a web application capable of converting the coordinate system of a GIS data format such as a shapefile for Peninsular Malaysia. The […]

By Shahabuddin Amerudin A Valuable Tool for Geospatial Data Conversion The MIF Coordinate Conversion 2001 tool has proven to be invaluable for geospatial professionals working with MapInfo data in MIF format. This application enables seamless conversion between various coordinate systems, including WGS84, RSO and State Cassini. The conversions are executed with exceptional precision, ensuring accurate and reliable results. A History of Development and Use Originally developed in Microsoft Visual Basic Version 6 in the late 1990s, this tool has undergone continuous improvements over the years to enhance its functionality and performance. Its significance was particularly evident during my academic pursuits at UTM, where it played a crucial role

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Geographic Information System (GIS) software has significantly advanced the way we approach mapping and spatial analysis, providing essential tools for converting between various coordinate systems. One of the key innovations in this field is the Malaysian Coordinate Transformation Program, developed in 1998 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). This program remains a crucial tool for professionals working with geospatial data in Malaysia. This article offers an in-depth exploration of the coordinate transformation process from the global WGS84 system to the local Malaysian systems, such as the Malayan Revised Triangulation (MRT), Rectified Skew Orthomorphic (RSO), and Cassini-Soldner systems. Understanding
