Change coordinate system, from EPSG 3003 to EPSG 32632 (i.e. WGS 84 / UTM zone 32N)

I have the following point with x-y-coordinates in the EPSG 3003 coordinate system:

a = [1.7202e+06 4.8998e+06]

How can change the above mentioned x-y-coordinates from EPSG 3003 to EPSG:32632 (i.e. WGS 84 / UTM zone 32N)?

Hi,

In MATLAB, you can use the 'projcrs' and 'projfwd' functions to transform coordinates between different coordinate reference systems (CRS).

• 'projinv' converts the coordinates from EPSG 3003 to geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude).
• 'projfwd' converts these geographic coordinates to the target CRS (EPSG 32632).

% Define the point in EPSG 3003
x_epsg3003 = 1.7202e+06;
y_epsg3003 = 4.8998e+06;

% Define the source and target CRS
sourceCRS = projcrs(3003);
targetCRS = projcrs(32632);

% Transform the coordinates from EPSG 3003 to EPSG 32632
[lat, lon] = projinv(sourceCRS, x_epsg3003, y_epsg3003); % Convert to geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude)
[x_epsg32632, y_epsg32632] = projfwd(targetCRS, lat, lon); % Convert from geographic coordinates to target CRS

% Display the results
fprintf('Coordinates in EPSG:32632: (%f, %f)\n', x_epsg32632, y_epsg32632);

Coordinates in EPSG:32632: (720189.814410, 4899709.877584)

Refer to the following documentation to know more about:

• projfwd: https://www.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/projcrs.projfwd.html

Hope this helps!
