Module ltp

Local Tangent Plane (LTP) and local cartesian coordinates.

Local cartesian and local tangent plane classes LocalCartesian, approximations ChLVa and ChLVe and Ltp, ChLV, LocalError, Attitude and Frustum.

Classes

Attitude
The orientation of a plane or camera in space.

AttitudeError
An Attitude or Attitude4Tuple issue.

Frustum
A rectangular pyramid, typically representing a camera's field-of-view (fov) and the intersection with (or projection to) a local tangent plane.

LocalError
A LocalCartesian or Ltp related issue.

LocalCartesian
Conversion between geodetic (lat, lon, height) and local cartesian (x, y, z) coordinates with geodetic origin (lat0, lon0, height0), transcoded from Karney's C++ class LocalCartesian.

Ltp
A local tangent plan (LTP), a sub-class of LocalCartesian with (re-)configurable ECEF converter.

ChLV
Conversion between WGS84 geodetic and Swiss projection coordinates using pygeodesy.EcefKarney's Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed (ECEF) methods.

ChLVa
Conversion between WGS84 geodetic and Swiss projection coordinates using the Approximate formulas, page 13.

ChLVe
Conversion between WGS84 geodetic and Swiss projection coordinates using the Ellipsoidal approximate formulas, pp 10-11 and Bolliger, J. pp 148-151 (also GGGS).

Functions

Variables

__all__ = _ALL_LAZY.ltp

Function Details

tyr3d (tilt=0, yaw=0, roll=0, Vector=<class 'pygeodesy.vector3d.Vector3d'>, **Vector_kwds)

Convert an attitude oriention into a (3-D) direction vector.

Arguments:

tilt - Pitch, elevation from horizontal (degrees), negative down (clockwise rotation along and around the x-axis).
yaw - Bearing, heading (compass degrees360), clockwise from North (counter-clockwise rotation along and around the z-axis).
roll - Roll, bank (degrees), positive to the right and down (clockwise rotation along and around the y-axis).

Returns:

A named Vector instance or if Vector is None, a named Vector3Tuple(x, y, z).
