Coordinate transformation is a fundamental issue in the related studies of measurement. However, existing methodologies often need to pay more attention to the available spatial information, leading to suboptimal results. This paper addresses this issue by incorporating geometric constraints into the symmetric coordinate transformation. We propose the so-called geo-constrained transformation method based on the joint adjustment of the coordinate transformation in conjunction with the geometric constraints over a set of points. By formulating the geometric constraints as the conditional model, we analyze the effects of geometric constraints on the estimated transformation parameters and point locations. By removing such effects during the symmetric transformation algorithm, the results show better statistical performance and satisfy geometric constraints. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the expected improvement in the statistical accuracy. It is shown that the improvement of the point determination accuracy can go beyond 50%.
