The treatment of the coordinate systems is briefly reviewed in the Newtonian mechanics, in the special theory of relativity, and in the general relativistic theory, respectively. Some reference frames and coordinate systems proposed within the general relativistic framework are introduced. With use of the ideas on which these coordinate systems are based, the proper reference frame comoving with a system of mass-points is defined as a general relativistic extension of the relative coordinate system in the Newtonian mechanics. The coordinate transformation connecting this and the background coordinate systems is presented explicitly in the post-Newtonian formalism. The conversion formulas of some physical quantities caused by this coordirate transformation are discussed. The concept of the rotating coordinate system is reexamined within the relativistic framework. A modification of the introduced proper reference frame is proposed as the basic coordinate system in the astrometry. The relation between the solar system barycentric coordinate system and the terrestrial coordinate system is given explicitly.

An ideal definition of a reference coordinate system should meet the following general requirements:1. It should be as conceptually simple as possible, so its philosophy is well understood by the users.2. It should imply as few physical assumptions as possible. Wherever they are necessary, such assumptions should be of a very general character and, in particular, they should not be dependent upon astronomical and geophysical detailed theories.3. It should suggest a materialization that is dynamically stable and is accessible to observations with the required accuracy.

The article suggests a technique for relation global kinematic reference system and local static realization of global reference system by regional continuously operated reference stations (CORS) network. On the example of regional CORS network located in the Novosibirsk Region (CORS NSO) the relation parameters of the global reference system WGS-84 and its local static realization by CORS NSO network at the epoch of fixing stations coordinates in catalog are calculated. With the realization of this technique, the main parameters to be determined are the speed of displacement one system center relativly to another and the speeds of rotation the coordinate axes of one system relatively to another, since the time evolution of most stations in the Russian Federation is not currently provided. The article shows the scale factor for relation determination of coordinate systems is not always necessary to consider. The technique described in the article also allows detecting the errors in determining the coordinates of CORS network in global coordinate system and compensate for them. A systematic error of determining and fixing the CORS NSO coordinates in global coordinate system was detected. It is noted that the main part of the error falls on the altitude component and reaches 12 cm. The proposed technique creates conditions for practical use of the advanced method Precise Point Positioning (PPP) in some regions of the Russian Federation. Also the technique will ensure consistent PPP method results with the results of the most commonly used in the Russian Federation other post-processing methods of high-precision positioning.

The global coordinate system for the equilibrium manifold follows from: (1) the determination of the unique fiber F(b) through the equilibrium (ρ‎, ω‎) where b = φ‎((ρ‎, ω‎) = (ρ‎, ρ‎ · ρ‎1, …, ρ‎ · ρ‎m); and (2) the determination of the location of the equilibrium (ρ‎, ω‎) within the fiber F(b) viewed as a linear space of dimension (ℓ − 1)(m − 1) and, therefore, parameterized by (ℓ − 1)(m − 1) coordinates. If there is little leeway in determining the fiber F(b) through the equilibrium (ρ‎, ω‎), there are different ways of representing the equilibrium (ρ‎, ω‎) within its fiber F(b). This leads to the definition of coordinate systems (A) and (B) for the equilibrium manifold. This chapter defines these two coordinate systems and applies them to obtain an analytical characterization of the critical equilibria, i.e., the critical points of the natural projection.

A good, working definition of what is required in a celestial reference frame is that it must provide observable fiducial points on the Celestial Sphere with internally consistent positions that are referred to coordinate axes of known direction. In reality, this statement gives the goals in the reverse order from that in which each must be achieved, the definition of the axes, or zero points of the system give orientation to the observationally defined set of primary objects whose coordinate relation to each other must give the frame rigidity. Finally, the primary objects are generally too sparse to define the frame within areas of less than tens of square degrees, and so additional objects must be related to the frame to increase the density. This last step is required to make the frame useful for most observational applications.

This article discusses the the selection and justification of the reference system and of the generalized coordinates for the kinematic scheme developed by of the manipulator taking into account these factors. The absolute (inertial) coordinate system associated with the center of the support member (eg turntable), joins the arm to the base machine and the subsequent coordinate system formed in accordance with the rules. On the whole, to describe the position of the investigated little detail of the manipulator in the space of generalized coordinates must be four and five right-hand orthogonal coordinate systems.

Many older maps were created using reference coordinate systems which are no longer available, either because no information to a datum was taken in the first place or the reference system is forgotten. In other cases the relationship between the map’s coordinate system is not known with precision, meaning that its absolute error is much larger than its relative error. In this paper the georeferencing of medium-scale maps is computed using a single TerraSAR-X image. A single TerraSAR-X image has high geolocation accuracy but it has no 3D information. The map, however, provides the missing 3D information, and thus it is possible to compute the georeferencing of the map using the TerraSAR-X geolocation information, assembling the information of both sources to produce 3D points in the reference system of the TerraSAR-X image. Two methods based on this concept are proposed. The methods are tested with real world examples and the results are promising for further research.

The reference frames are of fundamental importance in all kinds of the precession and nutation studies involving the theory, the coordinate transformation and the observations. The aim of this paper is to review all the frames used in such studies and to lead to a better consistency between them in order that theory and reductions of observations be referred, as close as possible, to the frames to which observables are actually sensitive.The equations of Earth rotation can be expressed either as Euler equations in the Terrestrial Reference System (TRS), or as perturbation theory in the Celestial Reference System (CRS) (Kinoshita 1977). Euler equations are transformed to the CRS in the astronomical approach (Woolard 1953) and solved by the method of variation of the parameters, whereas, in the geophysical approach (Melchior 1971), the solutions, first obtained in the TRS, are transformed to the CRS and then solved by an integration with respect to time.

Since the definition of quasiperiodicity is intimately connected to the indexing of a Fourier transform, for the case of an icosahedral solid, the step necessary to prove, using diffraction, that an object is quasiperiodic, is described. Various coordinate systems are discussed and reasons are given for choosing one aligned with a set of three orthogonal two-fold axes. Based on this coordinate system, the main crystallographic projections are presented and several analyzed single-crystal electron diffraction patterns are demonstrated. The extinction rules for three of the five icosahedral Bravais quasilattices are compared, and some simple relationships with the six-dimensional cut and projection crystallography are derived. This analysis leads to a simple application for indexing powder diffraction patterns.

There are many users of spatial information, and quite large interest about the nature and genesis of such information. Different users found spatial information in the form of maps, plans or alphanumerical tables. Recently, there are more often in the form of spatial databases, and in the form of geographic information systems. What is behind these spatial data? On what foundation are they designed? In this article we look at the basic aspects of space, dimensionality and global coordinate systems in applications of global geospatial research. Here is explained the definition of the coordinate system as an abstract entity and, consequently, its implementation or establishment in the form of a geodetic reference frame, as real geodetic reference network. The applicative aspect of coordinate systems in this article is emphasized through recommendations and considerations during usage of their different implementations.
