Detailed Description

Provides interface to user configurable Light Time correction feature.

This class provides a comprehensive container for the state of the observer/target swapping to correct a long term issue that applied the wrong order of observer/target to the NAIF spkez_c/spkezp_c routines that provide body state vectors.

In addition, it also contains parameters that provide determination of the type and extent of stellar aberration and light time correction to the surface of the target body. This is a recent addition to address accuracy issues in determining these vectors.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LightTimeCorrectionState() [1/2]

Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::LightTimeCorrectionState ( )

Default constructor sets default state of light time corrections.

The default state of the stellar aberration correction, swap of observer/target and correction of light time to the surface of a target body are set here. The current state of these conditions are set to preserve preexisting behavior.

Initial state of these conditions are "LT+S" for stellar aberration, false for observer/target swap and no light time to surface correction.

◆ LightTimeCorrectionState() [2/2]

Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::LightTimeCorrectionState ( int  ikCode,
Spice spice 
)

Constructor that gathers state of light time correction.

This constructor checks observer/target swap and light time correction states for an instrument indicated by the ikCode parameter (assumed to be a valid NAIF instrument code). The Spice object is required so these values are properly recorded (in the label) for subsequent use.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkAberrationCorrection()

bool Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::checkAberrationCorrection ( int  ikCode,
Spice spice 
)

Apply instrument (team) specific light time/stellar aborration option.

This method checks for the value of the INS-XXXXXX_LIGHTTIME_CORRECTION kernel pool keyword to determine the value (if specified) of the light time and stellar aborration correction parameter provided to NAIF routines.

Author
2012-10-09 Kris Becker
Parameters
ikCodeInstrument code to check for keyword specification of correction
spiceSpice class is required in order to check kernel pool for keywords
Returns
bool True if a value was found and applied

◆ checkLightTimeToSurfaceCorrect()

bool Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::checkLightTimeToSurfaceCorrect ( int  ikCode,
Spice spice 
)

Determines state of surface to s/c light time correction.

This state specifies the radius of the target is to be taken into consideraton when correcting for the time it takes light to travel from surface to center of target body.

This method checks for the value of the INS-XXXXXX_LT_SURFACE_CORRECT kernel pool keyword to determine if correction adjustments for light time from surface to center body are to be applied in the SpicePosition class.

Parameters
ikCodeCode of instrument to check for
spiceSpice instance to interface virtual NAIF kernel pool
Returns
bool State of light time from surface to center body correction as determined.

◆ checkObserverTargetSwap()

bool Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::checkObserverTargetSwap ( int  ikCode,
Spice spice 
)

Check status of target/observer swap specification.

This method checks for the value of the INS-XXXXXX_SWAP_OBSERVER_TARGET kernel pool keyword to determine if a swap of the observer/target order in the SpicePosition class is requested/needed by the instrument specified by the ikCode parameter (this is assumed to be a valid NAIF instrument code).

A values of TRUE will result in the switch of the order of the target and observer codes in the SpicePosition constructor.

Parameters
ikCodeInstrument code to check for
spiceSpice class is required in order to check kernel pool for keywords
Returns
true if swap of observer/target is requested via kernel pool variables

◆ checkSpkKernelsForAberrationCorrection()

bool Isis::LightTimeCorrectionState::checkSpkKernelsForAberrationCorrection ( )

Check for light time/stellar aberration tag in SPK comments.

This function will search through all SPK kernel file comments section looking for a specified tag called "ID:USGS_SPK_ABCORR". If the tag is found in any of the loaded SPK files, then true is returned. This is intended to indicate that the light time and stellar aberration correction option needs to be overridden when querying NAIF position states.

This tag is generated by the spkwriter application when recording new SPK kernels from ISIS corrected SPICE tables. The SPKs generated from that application has had all the light time correction states incorporated so we must ensure that if such kernels are loaded, no corrections are applied.

Note that this routine is reentrant and can be called multiple times from multiple sources to make this determination.

Returns
bool Returns true if the tag is found anywhere in the comments section of the SPK, otherwise false if it is not found. When false, the existing value is retained.
