As part of a geomatics exercise aiming at familiarisation with computational transformations of coordinates, a set of digitiser coordinates of the Madagascar coastline, captured from a scanned map, was computed into projected coordinates in the Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic (LCC) projections, in Python.

The process was carried out for the minimum solution using two ground control points, and using a Least Squares adjustment for four control points. A map report created.
