Class AngularCoordinates

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    TimeStampedAngularCoordinates

    public class AngularCoordinates
    extends Object
    implements TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>, Serializable
    Simple container for rotation/rotation rate/rotation acceleration triplets.

    The state can be slightly shifted to close dates. This shift is based on an approximate solution of the fixed acceleration motion. It is not intended as a replacement for proper attitude propagation but should be sufficient for either small time shifts or coarse accuracy.

    This class is the angular counterpart to PVCoordinates.

    Instances of this class are guaranteed to be immutable.

      • AngularCoordinates

        public AngularCoordinates​(PVCoordinates u1,
                                  PVCoordinates u2,
                                  PVCoordinates v1,
                                  PVCoordinates v2,
                                  double tolerance)
        Build the rotation that transforms a pair of pv coordinates into another one.

        WARNING! This method requires much more stringent assumptions on its parameters than the similar constructor from the Rotation class. As far as the Rotation constructor is concerned, the v₂ vector from the second pair can be slightly misaligned. The Rotation constructor will compensate for this misalignment and create a rotation that ensure v₁ = r(u₁) and v₂ ∈ plane (r(u₁), r(u₂)). THIS IS NOT TRUE ANYMORE IN THIS CLASS! As derivatives are involved and must be preserved, this constructor works only if the two pairs are fully consistent, i.e. if a rotation exists that fulfill all the requirements: v₁ = r(u₁), v₂ = r(u₂), dv₁/dt = dr(u₁)/dt, dv₂/dt = dr(u₂)/dt, d²v₁/dt² = d²r(u₁)/dt², d²v₂/dt² = d²r(u₂)/dt².

        Parameters:
        u1 - first vector of the origin pair
        u2 - second vector of the origin pair
        v1 - desired image of u1 by the rotation
        v2 - desired image of u2 by the rotation
        tolerance - relative tolerance factor used to check singularities
      • AngularCoordinates

        public AngularCoordinates​(PVCoordinates u,
                                  PVCoordinates v)
        Build one of the rotations that transform one pv coordinates into another one.

        Except for a possible scale factor, if the instance were applied to the vector u it will produce the vector v. There is an infinite number of such rotations, this constructor choose the one with the smallest associated angle (i.e. the one whose axis is orthogonal to the (u, v) plane). If u and v are collinear, an arbitrary rotation axis is chosen.

        Parameters:
        u - origin vector
        v - desired image of u by the rotation

      • shiftedBy

        public AngularCoordinates shiftedBy​(double dt)
        Get a time-shifted state.

        shiftedBy in interface TimeShiftable<AngularCoordinates>
        Parameters:
        dt - time shift in seconds

      • addOffset

        public AngularCoordinates addOffset​(AngularCoordinates offset)
        Add an offset from the instance.

        We consider here that the offset rotation is applied first and the instance is applied afterward. Note that angular coordinates do not commute under this operation, i.e. a.addOffset(b) and b.addOffset(a) lead to different results in most cases.

        The two methods addOffset and subtractOffset are designed so that round trip applications are possible. This means that both ac1.subtractOffset(ac2).addOffset(ac2) and ac1.addOffset(ac2).subtractOffset(ac2) return angular coordinates equal to ac1.

        Parameters:
        offset - offset to subtract
        Returns:
        new instance, with offset subtracted
        See Also:
        subtractOffset(AngularCoordinates)
      • subtractOffset

        public AngularCoordinates subtractOffset​(AngularCoordinates offset)

        We consider here that the offset rotation is applied first and the instance is applied afterward. Note that angular coordinates do not commute under this operation, i.e. a.subtractOffset(b) and b.subtractOffset(a) lead to different results in most cases.
