heightsystems
A height system is a standard unit of measurement used to express the vertical distance between reference points on an object or between two points in space. Height systems can be based on a variety of reference points, including the Earth's surface, the datum, or a specific axis.
One of the most widely used height systems is the ellipsoidal height system, which is based on
Another type of height system is the orthometric height system, which is based on the Earth's gravitational
Height systems are used in a variety of applications, including geodesy, surveying, and mapping. They are particularly
The use of height systems requires careful consideration of the reference surface and datum used, as well
