Class FieldOfViewDetector

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.events.AbstractDetector<FieldOfViewDetector>

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldOfViewDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

EventDetector

public class FieldOfViewDetector
extends AbstractDetector<FieldOfViewDetector>

Finder for target entry/exit events with respect to a satellite sensor Field Of View.

The default implementation behavior is to continue propagation at FOV entry and to stop propagation at FOV exit. This can be changed by calling AbstractDetector.withHandler(EventHandler) after construction.

Since:

7.1

The maximal interval between distance to FOV boundary checks should be smaller than the half duration of the minimal pass to handle, otherwise some short passes could be missed.

Parameters:

pvTarget - Position/velocity provider of the considered target

fov - Field Of View

Method Detail

create

protected FieldOfViewDetector create(double newMaxCheck,
                                     double newThreshold,
                                     int newMaxIter,
                                     EventHandler<? super FieldOfViewDetector> newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class AbstractDetector<FieldOfViewDetector>

Parameters:

newMaxCheck - maximum checking interval (s)

newThreshold - convergence threshold (s)

newMaxIter - maximum number of iterations in the event time search

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

getPVTarget

public PVCoordinatesProvider getPVTarget()

Get the position/velocity provider of the target .

Returns:

the position/velocity provider of the target

getFOV

public FieldOfView getFOV()

Get the Field Of View.

Returns:

Field Of View

Since:

10.1

getFieldOfView

@Deprecated
public FieldOfView getFieldOfView()

Deprecated. as of 10.1, replaced by getFOV()

Get the Field Of View.

Returns:

Field Of View, if detector has been built from a FieldOfView, or null of the detector was built from another implementation of FieldOfView

g

public double g(SpacecraftState s)

Compute the value of the switching function. This function must be continuous (at least in its roots neighborhood), as the integrator will need to find its roots to locate the events.

The g function value is the angular offset between the target center and the Field Of View boundary, plus or minus the target angular radius depending on the VisibilityTrigger, minus the Field Of View margin. It is therefore negative if the target is visible within the Field Of View and positive if it is outside of the Field Of View.

As per the previous definition, when the target enters the Field Of View, a decreasing event is generated, and when the target leaves the Field Of View, an increasing event is generated.

Specified by:

g in interface EventDetector

Specified by:

g in class AbstractDetector<FieldOfViewDetector>

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

value of the switching function
