Accurate Conversion of Earth-Fixed Earth-CenteredCoordinates to Geodetic Coordinates (ecef2lla/lla2ecef) with Python bindings

wgs84conv

wgs84conv is a accurate & fast Earth-Fixed Earth-Centered (ECEF) to Geodetic (lla) convert module based on:

Karl Osen. Accurate Conversion of Earth-Fixed Earth-Centered Coordinates to Geodetic Coordinates.[Research Report] Norwegian University of Science and Technology. 2017. hal-01704943v2

And with pybind11 & carma, this module also support Python binding.
