utm
===
Bidirectional UTM-WGS84 converter for python
Usage
-----
.. code-block:: python
>>> import utm
Latitude/Longitude to UTM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Convert a ``(latitude, longitude)`` tuple into an UTM coordinate:
.. code-block:: python
>>> utm.from_latlon(51.2, 7.5)
(395201.3103811303, 5673135.241182375, 32, 'U')
The syntax is ``utm.from_latlon(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE)``.
The return has the form ``(EASTING, NORTHING, ZONE_NUMBER, ZONE_LETTER)``.
You can also use NumPy arrays for ``LATITUDE`` and ``LONGITUDE``. In the
result ``EASTING`` and ``NORTHING`` will have the same shape. ``ZONE_NUMBER``
and ``ZONE_LETTER`` are scalars and will be calculated for the first point of
the input. All other points will be set into the same UTM zone. Therefore
it's a good idea to make sure all points are near each other.
.. code-block:: python
>>> utm.from_latlon(np.array([51.2, 49.0]), np.array([7.5, 8.4]))
(array([395201.31038113, 456114.59586214]),
array([5673135.24118237, 5427629.20426126]),
32,
'U')
UTM to Latitude/Longitude
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Convert an UTM coordinate into a ``(latitude, longitude)`` tuple:
.. code-block:: python
>>> utm.to_latlon(340000, 5710000, 32, 'U')
(51.51852098408468, 6.693872395145327)
The syntax is ``utm.to_latlon(EASTING, NORTHING, ZONE_NUMBER, ZONE_LETTER)``.
The return has the form ``(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE)``.
You can also use NumPy arrays for ``EASTING`` and ``NORTHING``. In the result
``LATITUDE`` and ``LONGITUDE`` will have the same shape. ``ZONE_NUMBER`` and
``ZONE_LETTER`` are scalars.
.. code-block:: python
>>> utm.to_latlon(np.array([395200, 456100]), np.array([5673100, 5427600]), 32, 'U')
(array([51.19968297, 48.99973627]), array([7.49999141, 8.3998036 ]))
Since the zone letter is not strictly needed for the conversion you may also
the ``northern`` parameter instead, which is a named parameter and can be set
to either ``True`` or ``False``. Have a look at the unit tests to see how it
can be used.
The UTM coordinate system is explained on
`this <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Transverse_Mercator_coordinate_system>`_
Wikipedia page.
Speed
-----
The library has been compared to the more generic pyproj library by running
the unit test suite through pyproj instead of utm. These are the results:
* with pyproj (without projection cache): 4.0 - 4.5 sec
* with pyproj (with projection cache): 0.9 - 1.0 sec
* with utm: 0.4 - 0.5 sec
NumPy arrays bring another speed improvement (on a different computer than the
previous test). Using ``utm.from_latlon(x, y)`` to convert one million points:
* one million calls (``x`` and ``y`` are floats): 1,000,000 × 90µs = 90s
* one call (``x`` and ``y`` are numpy arrays of one million points): 0.26s
Development
-----------
Create a new ``virtualenv`` and install the library via ``pip install -e .``.
After that install the ``pytest`` package via ``pip install pytest`` and run
the unit test suite by calling ``pytest``.
