Method Details

__init__ (self, azimuth_aer, elevation=0, name='')
(Constructor)

 

New Los.

Arguments:
  • azimuth_aer - Scalar azimuth, bearing from North (compass degrees) or a previous instance (Aer, Aer4Tuple, Enu, Enu4Tuple or Los).
  • elevation - Scalar angle above the horizon (degrees, horizon is 0, zenith +90, nadir -90), only used with scalar azimuth_aer.
  • name - Optional name (str).
Raises:
  • TypeError - Invalid azimuth_aer.
  • UnitError - Invalid azimuth_aer or elevation.
Overrides: object.__init__

toUvw (self, location, Uvw=<class 'pygeodesy.ltpTuples.Uvw'>, **Uvw_kwds)

 

Get this LOS' target (UVW) components from a location.

Arguments:
  • location - The geodetic (LatLon) or geocentric (Cartesian, Vector3d) location from where to cast the Los.

See Also: Method Enu.toUvw for further details.

toEnu (self, Enu=<class 'pygeodesy.ltpTuples.Enu'>, **Enu_kwds)

 

Get this LOS as East, North, Up (ENU) components.

Arguments:
  • Enu - Class to return ENU (Enu) or None.
  • Enu_kwds - Optional, additional Enu keyword arguments, ignored if Enu is None.
Returns:
ENU as an Enu instance or if Enu is None, an Enu4Tuple(east, north, up, ltp).
Overrides: _NamedAerNed.toEnu

See Also: Method Aer.toEnu for further details.
