2.2.4.1 Coordinate systems, reference points and coordinate transformation

Coordinate system for all entities that are part of ground truth. The global coordinate system is an inertial x/y/z-coordinate system. The origin is the global reference point that is determined by the environment simulation. This reference point may be derived from map data or other considerations. Global coordinates can be mapped to a geographic coordinate system via osi3::GroundTruth::proj_string.

Coordinate system for all entities that are part of sensor data. The origin is the mounting position of the physical sensor or a virtual mounting position, depending on the OSI message.

Local object coordinate system. The origin of the corresponding coordinate system is not necessarily identical to the center of the object’s bounding box. If the origin of the corresponding coordinate system is not identical to the center of the object’s bounding box, the object documentation will provide the actual definition.
