Description

Campt computes geometric and photometric information at a given pixel location or list of pixel locations in the input image cube. The program computes spacecraft and instrument related information, and other types of coordinates as described later in this document. The user will have a choice of coordinates in which to output the information as well as a choice in the output format of the information acquired.

Note the input image cube has preliminary requirements:

The point of interest in the image can be entered as Latitude/Longitude coordinates or Sample/Line coordinates. Keep in mind that the input Latitude and Longitude values entered will be interpreted as Universal Coordinates (ISIS default) regardless of the target body. In the output, all positions are in Body-Fixed Coordinates. Multiple points of interest may be specified by providing a comma-delimited flatfile of coordinates.

The following is a partial list of coordinates computed in the campt application:

Geometric Information: Latitude, Longitude, Oblique Detector Resolution, Line Resolution, Oblique Line Resolution

Photometric Information: Phase, Emission, and Incidence Angles

In addition, this application will return a list of other spacecraft, sun and instrument-related information including but not limited to Spacecraft Position, Spacecraft Azimuth, Sub-Spacecraft Longitude, SubSolar Latitude, SubSolar Longitude, and Time information (Ephemeris Time, UTC).

You may choose the format of the output file. The option list includes a choice of a PVL file or a flat file. A PVL file is a text file in label format, while the flat file is a comma-delimited text file that is easily imported into most databases and digital spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel. Below is an example of campt output in PVL format. You can skim the left column of this PVL-formatted output file for a thorough listing of the types of coordinates, sun and instrument-related information computed when using campt.

Files: FROM

Description

Input image, which requires SPICE (see spiceinit) and must be a Level0 or a Level1 ISIS cube.

Type cube
File Mode input
Filter *.cub

Files: USECOORDLIST

Description

Selecting this parameter will enable the 'COORDLIST' and 'COORDTYPE' parameters in the GUI.

Note that this parameter is optional when running campt on the command line.

Type boolean
Default FALSE
Exclusions
  • TYPE
  • SAMPLE
  • LINE
  • LATITUDE
  • LONGITUDE
Inclusions
  • COORDLIST
  • COORDTYPE

Files: COORDLIST

Description

An input comma-delimited flatfile of image coordinates or ground coordinates. This allows the program to process multiple coordinates in a single run of campt, and output the results to the specified output file.

Expected order for image coordinates: sample, line
Expected order for ground coordinates: latitude, longitude

The "Error" keyword will only appear when using a coordinate list. The value of "Error" will then be NULL unless an error occurs during the processing of a coordinate in the coordinate list. Then, the value of this keyword will be the error message. This allows for campt to continue processing the remaining coordinates in the coordinate list.

For the input of Latitude and Longitude, campt expects Planetocentric Latitude (within -90 to 90 boundary) and Positive East Longitude (with 0-360 boundary) to find the location in the input camera image.

Type filename
File Mode input
Internal Default None
Exclusions
  • TYPE
  • SAMPLE
  • LINE
  • LATITUDE
  • LONGITUDE

Files: COORDTYPE

Description

This parameter is used to select the type of coordinates entered in the coordinate list file, which will be used to determine the method to compute the geometric and photometric information.

Type string
Option List:
Option Brief Description
IMAGEInterprets coordinates in 'COORDLIST' as sample/line This option interprets the coordinates provided in the input coordinate list file as sample/line and will compute latitude/longitude and Projection x/y.
GROUNDInterprets the coordinates in 'COORDLIST' as latitude/longitude This option interprets the coordinates provided in the input coordinate list file as latitude/longitude and will compute sample/line and Projection x/y.
Exclusions
  • TYPE

Files: TO

Description

A text file in label format (PVL) which will contain the results of campt. This file can be used in conjunction with the getkey application in order to pass the results to another program when developing scripts.

Type filename
File Mode output
Internal Default None

Files: FORMAT

Description

Format type for output file. PVL format is default.

Type string
Default PVL
Option List:
Option Brief Description
PVL PVL format Output file will be in PVL format
FLAT Flat file format Output file will be a comma-delimited flatfile. This file format can easily be imported into Excel.

Files: APPEND

Description

If this option is selected, the output from the application will be appended to the output file. If it is not selected, any information in the 'TO' file will be overwritten.

Type boolean
Default TRUE

Files: ALLOWOUTSIDE

Description

The Allowoutside parameter influences how campt will report resulting latitude/longitude and sample/line coordinates that fall outside the input cube pixel boundaries.

The default is set to True, which allows campt to return the values that are outside the cube pixel boundaries. For example, a given latitude/longitude might return a sample location of -1.0 (a single whole pixel coordinate off the left side of the image). This is a feature of the ISIS camera models.

When set to False, if a returned coordinate is off the image, campt will fail. This failure can be indicated and ignored within a batch script when only coordinates that fall within the image cube pixel boundaries are desired.

Type boolean
Default TRUE

Files: ALLOWERROR

Description

The Allowerror parameter enables campt to return results despite any errors. Errors will be listed under "Error" in the result table, providing the user with information about points that may lack surface intersection.

By default, campt is set to False, causing it to throw an error if any occur.

If campt is set to True, errors will be displayed in the error section of the results table instead of being thrown.

Type boolean
Default FALSE

Position: TYPE

Description

This parameter is used to select the type of coordinate entered, which will be used to determine the method to compute the geometric and photometric information.

Type string

The SubSolarGroundAzimuth is the clockwise angle on the ground between a line drawn from the ground point to the North pole of the body and a line drawn from the ground point to the subsolar point. The SubSpacecraftGroundAzimuth is defined similarly except it uses the subspacecraft point.

References #476, #4100.
Kaj Williams2017-06-13 Resolved issue where the default value for the "allowoutside" parameter was supposed to be set to "true", but the default _behavior_ of campt was instead consistent with a setting of "false". In addition, corrected behavior where manually setting "allowoutside" to "false" was ignored. Ref # 2258.
