Method Detail

create

public static DOPComputer create(OneAxisEllipsoid shape,
                                 GeodeticPoint location)

Creates a DOP computer for one location.

A minimum elevation of 0° is taken into account to compute visibility between the location and the GNSS spacecrafts.

Parameters:

shape - the body shape on which the location is defined

location - the point of interest

Returns:

a configured DOP computer

withMinElevation

public DOPComputer withMinElevation(double newMinElevation)

Set the minimum elevation.

This will override an elevation mask if it has been configured as such previously.

Parameters:

newMinElevation - minimum elevation for visibility (rad)

Returns:

a new DOP computer with updated configuration (the instance is not changed)

See Also:

getMinElevation()

withElevationMask

public DOPComputer withElevationMask(ElevationMask newElevationMask)

Set the elevation mask.

This will override the min elevation if it has been configured as such previously.

Parameters:

newElevationMask - elevation mask to use for the computation

Returns:

a new detector with updated configuration (the instance is not changed)

See Also:

getElevationMask()

compute

public DOP compute(AbsoluteDate date,
                   List<Propagator> gnss)
            throws OrekitException

Compute the DOP at a given date for a set of GNSS spacecrafts.

Four GNSS spacecraft at least are needed to compute the DOP. If less than 4 propagators are provided, an exception will be thrown. If less than 4 spacecrafts are visible at the date, all DOP values will be set to NaN.

Parameters:

date - the computation date

gnss - the propagators for GNSS spacecraft involved in the DOP computation

Returns:

the DOP at the location

Throws:

OrekitException - if something wrong occurs

getMinElevation

public double getMinElevation()

Get the minimum elevation.

Returns:

the minimum elevation (rad)

getElevationMask

public ElevationMask getElevationMask()

Get the elevation mask.

Returns:

the elevation mask
