Abstract
In digital maps, positions are usually given by latitude and longitude, while topographic maps and satellite images are projected on the UTM coordinate system. In order to overlay them, the map projections should be converted each other. In this report, we investigate error factors of the conversion and evaluate their accuracy. Based on these analysis, we propose a practical algorithm, of which accuracy is enough for the conversion of the topographic maps and satellite images.
