AbstractCompute the Jacobian matrix of the transformation from azimuth/elevation to rectangular coordinates. Required_ReadingNone. KeywordsCOORDINATES DERIVATIVES MATRIX Brief_I/OVARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION -------- --- -------------------------------------------------- range I Distance of a point from the origin. az I Azimuth of input point in radians. el I Elevation of input point in radians. azccw I Flag indicating how azimuth is measured. elplsz I Flag indicating how elevation is measured. jacobi O Matrix of partial derivatives. Detailed_Input
range is the distance from the origin of the input point
specified by `range', `az', and `el'.
Negative values for `range' are not allowed.
Units are arbitrary and are considered to match those
of the rectangular coordinate system associated with the
output matrix `jacobi'.
az is the azimuth of the point. This is the angle between
the projection onto the XY plane of the vector from
the origin to the point and the +X axis of the
reference frame. `az' is zero at the +X axis.
The way azimuth is measured depends on the value of
the logical flag `azccw'. See the description of the
argument `azccw' for details.
The range (i.e., the set of allowed values) of `az' is
unrestricted. See the -Exceptions section for a
discussion on the `az' range.
Units are radians.
el is the elevation of the point. This is the angle
between the vector from the origin to the point and
the XY plane. `el' is zero at the XY plane.
The way elevation is measured depends on the value of
the logical flag `elplsz'. See the description of the
argument `elplsz' for details.
The range (i.e., the set of allowed values) of `el' is
[-pi/2, pi/2], but no error checking is done to ensure
that `el' is within this range. See the -Exceptions
section for a discussion on the `el' range.
Units are radians.
azccw is a flag indicating how the azimuth is measured.
If `azccw' is SPICETRUE, the azimuth increases in the
counterclockwise direction; otherwise `az' increases
in the clockwise direction.
elplsz if a flag indicating how the elevation is measured.
If `elplsz' is SPICETRUE, the elevation increases from
the XY plane toward +Z; otherwise toward -Z.
Detailed_Output
jacobi is the matrix of partial derivatives of the
transformation from azimuth/elevation to rectangular
coordinates. It has the form
.- -.
| dx/drange dx/daz dx/del |
| |
| dy/drange dy/daz dy/del |
| |
| dz/drange dz/daz dz/del |
`- -'
evaluated at the input values of `range', `az' and `el'.
`x', `y', and `z' are given by the familiar formulae
x = range * cos( az ) * cos( el )
y = range * sin( azsnse * az ) * cos( el )
z = range * sin( eldir * el )
where `azsnse' is +1 when `azccw' is SPICETRUE and -1
otherwise, and `eldir' is +1 when `elplsz' is SPICETRUE
and -1 otherwise.
ParametersNone. Exceptions
1) If the value of the input parameter `range' is negative, the
error SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled by a routine in the
call tree of this routine.
2) If the value of the input argument `el' is outside the
range [-pi/2, pi/2], the results may not be as
expected.
3) If the value of the input argument `az' is outside the
range [0, 2*pi], the value will be mapped to a value
inside the range that differs from the input value by an
integer multiple of 2*pi.
FilesNone. Particulars
It is often convenient to describe the motion of an object
in azimuth/elevation coordinates. It is also convenient to
manipulate vectors associated with the object in rectangular
coordinates.
The transformation of an azimuth/elevation state into an
equivalent rectangular state makes use of the Jacobian matrix
of the transformation between the two systems.
Given a state in latitudinal coordinates,
( r, az, el, dr, daz, del )
the velocity in rectangular coordinates is given by the matrix
equation
t | t
(dx, dy, dz) = jacobi| * (dr, daz, del)
|(r,az,el)
This routine computes the matrix
|
jacobi|
|(r,az,el)
In the azimuth/elevation coordinate system, several conventions
exist on how azimuth and elevation are measured. Using the `azccw'
and `elplsz' flags, users indicate which conventions shall be used.
See the descriptions of these input arguments for details.
Examples
The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
specific arithmetic implementation.
1) Find the azimuth/elevation state of Venus as seen from the
DSS-14 station at a given epoch. Map this state back to
rectangular coordinates as a check.
Task description
================
In this example, we will obtain the apparent state of Venus as
seen from the DSS-14 station in the DSS-14 topocentric
reference frame. We will use a station frames kernel and
transform the resulting rectangular coordinates to azimuth,
elevation and range and its derivatives using recazl_c and
dazldr_c.
We will map this state back to rectangular coordinates using
azlrec_c and drdazl_c.
In order to introduce the usage of the logical flags `azccw'
and `elplsz', we will request the azimuth to be measured
clockwise and the elevation positive towards +Z
axis of the DSS-14_TOPO reference frame.
