/** Detector for elevation extremum with respect to a ground point.
 * <p>This detector identifies when a spacecraft reaches its
 * extremum elevation with respect to a ground point.</p>
 * <p>
 * As in most cases only the elevation maximum is needed and the
 * minimum is often irrelevant, this detector is often wrapped into
 * an {@link EventSlopeFilter event slope filter} configured with
 * {@link 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
