Specialist literature is mainly devoted to the issues of 3D transformation. The determination of the sought values, coordinates in the target system, requires two stages of computations. The classical approach yields ‘new’ coordinates of reference points in the target system that should not be changed in principle. This requires the Hausbrandt corrections. The paper proposes to simplify the two-stage process of planar transformation by assigning adjustment corrections to reference point coordinates in the source system. This approach requires solving the Helmert transformation by adjusting conditioned observations with unknowns. This yielded transformation results consistent with the classical method. The proposed algorithm avoided the issue of correcting the official coordinates of the control network and using additional (post-transformation) corrections for the transformed points. The proposed algorithm for solving the plane Helmert transformation for �� > 2 reference points simplifies the computing stages compared to the classical approach. The assignment of adjustment corrections to coordinates of reference points in the source system helps avoid correcting coordinates of the reference points in the target system and additional corrections for transformed points. The main goal of any data adjustment process with the use of the least squares method is (by definition) obtaining unambiguous quantities that would strictly meet the mathematical relationships between them. Therefore, this work aims to show such a transformation adjusting procedure, so that no additional computational activities related to the correction of already aligned results are necessary.}, type={Article}, title={The Helmert transformation: a proposal for the problem of post-transformation corrections}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/127688/PDF/art-e34_internet.pdf}, doi={10.24425/agg.2022.141920}, keywords={planar Helmert transformation, Hausbrandt post-transformation corrections, 2D transformation algorithm}, }
