ringspt

This program requires the user supply a "level 1" cube. That is, a cube in raw camera geometry. The user must also enter one of the following coordinates:

      line/sample
      ring radius/ring longitude
    

The program will then compute the other coordinates and various other spacecraft and instrument related information including but not limited to the north azimuth, solar azimuth, spacecraft azimuth, incidence angle, phase angle, emission angle, and resolution. The following is an example of the output given when campt is ran:

In the output, all positions are in body fixed coordinates. The SubSpacecraftLatitude and SubSpacecraftLongitude make up the subspacecraft point, which is the point on a body which lies directly beneath the spacecraft. The SubSolarLatitude and SubSolarLongitude make up the subsolar point, which is the point on a body's refernce surface where a line from the body center to the sun center intersects that surface. The NorthAzimuth, SpacecraftAzimuth, and SubSolarAzimuth are the values of the angle between a line from the image center to the relative point (North pole, SubSpacecraft Latitude/Longitude, SubSolar Latitude/Longitude respectively) and a reference line in the image plane. The reference line is a horizontal line from the image center to the middle right edge of the image. The angles increase in a clockwise direction. The LocalSolarTime is the time at the current longitude relative to the subsolar longitude, which has a time of 12 o'clock. The SolarLongitude is LSubS, or the seasonal angle.

Description

Type	string
Default	IMAGE
Option List:	Option Brief Description IMAGE Interprets the coordinate as sample/line This option interprets the coordinate as sample/line and will compute ring radius/longitude and x/y/z Exclusions RINGRADIUS RINGLONGITUDE GROUND Interprets the coordinates as ring radius/longitude This option interprets the coordinate as ring radius/longitude and will compute sample/line and x/y/z Exclusions LINE SAMPLE

Description

This is the sample position used to compute infomration about the camera state at the pixel.

Type	double
