public class FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T>,T>

Detector for elevation extremum with respect to a ground point.

This detector identifies when a spacecraft reaches its extremum elevation with respect to a ground point.

As in most cases only the elevation maximum is needed and the minimum is often irrelevant, this detector is often wrapped into an event slope filter configured with FilterType.TRIGGER_ONLY_DECREASING_EVENTS (i.e. when the elevation derivative decreases from positive values to negative values, which correspond to a maximum). Setting up this filter saves some computation time as the elevation minimum occurrences are not even looked at. It is however still often necessary to do an additional filtering

Constructor Detail

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

public FieldElevationExtremumDetector(Field<T> field,
                                      TopocentricFrame topo)

Build a new detector.

The new instance uses default values for maximal checking interval (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAXCHECK) and convergence threshold (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

Parameters:

field - field to which elements belong

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

public FieldElevationExtremumDetector(T maxCheck,
                                      T threshold,
                                      TopocentricFrame topo)

Build a detector.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

protected FieldElevationExtremumDetector(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
                                         FieldEventHandler<T> handler,
                                         TopocentricFrame topo)

Protected constructor with full parameters.

This constructor is not public as users are expected to use the builder API with the various withXxx() methods to set up the instance in a readable manner without using a huge amount of parameters.

Parameters:

detectionSettings - event detection settings

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

Method Detail

create

protected FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T> create(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
                                                   FieldEventHandler<T> newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

detectionSettings - detection settings

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

getTopocentricFrame

public TopocentricFrame getTopocentricFrame()

Returns the topocentric frame centered on ground point.

Returns:

topocentric frame centered on ground point

getElevation

public T getElevation(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Get the elevation value.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

spacecraft elevation

g

public T g(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Compute the value of the detection function.

The value is the spacecraft elevation first time derivative.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

spacecraft elevation first time derivative
