Development of Web-Based Application for Shapefile Coordinate System Conversion for Malaysia
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

The need for different coordinate systems rose from the fact that some coordinate systems are better fitted to describe the geographical phenomenon occurring 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

By Elysonia Alim and Shahabuddin Amerudin (Supervisor) Unpublished 2018 4th Year Undergraduate Project’s Technical Paper It is difficult to process GIS vector data when they are not aligned with one another.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. 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 web application named Coordinate Conversion Application (CCA) was developed using Django and Python

Malaysia Coordinate Transformation Program
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.
