B.Sc. Research Project - Surveying & Geoinformatics

AboutCoordConvert

A high-precision coordinate conversion platform designed for Nigerian surveying and mapping professionals, built as a B.Sc. research project in Surveying & Geoinformatics at the University of Lagos.

Project Overview

Bridging the gap between Nigerian and international coordinate systems with professional-grade accuracy

This B.Sc. research project in Surveying & Geoinformatics addresses the critical need for accurate coordinate transformations between Nigerian Transverse Mercator (NTM) and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate systems. Developed under academic supervision at the University of Lagos, the platform supports surveying, mapping, and GIS professionals across Nigeria with reliable, high-precision coordinate conversion capabilities.

Built with advanced geodetic algorithms following international standards, the application supports both Minna and WGS84 datums with proper Helmert transformations. The system ensures professional-grade accuracy through comprehensive validation, error handling, and batch processing capabilities.
