public class FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldAbstractTopocentricDetector<FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T>,T>

Detector for elevation extremum with respect to a ground point.

This detector identifies when a spacecraft reaches its extremum elevation with respect to a ground point.

As in most cases only the elevation maximum is needed and the minimum is often irrelevant, this detector is often wrapped into an event slope filter configured with FilterType.TRIGGER_ONLY_DECREASING_EVENTS (i.e. when the elevation derivative decreases from positive values to negative values, which correspond to a maximum). Setting up this filter saves some computation time as the elevation minimum occurrences are not even looked at. It is however still often necessary to do an additional filtering

Constructor Details

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

public FieldElevationExtremumDetector(Field<T> field,
 TopocentricFrame topo)

Build a new detector.

The new instance uses default values for maximal checking interval (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAX_CHECK) and convergence threshold (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

Parameters:

field - field to which elements belong

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

public FieldElevationExtremumDetector(T maxCheck,
 T threshold,
 TopocentricFrame topo)

Build a detector.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximal checking interval (s)

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

public FieldElevationExtremumDetector(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
 FieldEventHandler<T> handler,
 TopocentricFrame topo)

Constructor with input detection settings and handler.

Parameters:

detectionSettings - event detection settings

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

topo - topocentric frame centered on ground point

FieldElevationExtremumDetector

protected FieldElevationExtremumDetector(ElevationExtremumEventFunction eventFunction,
 FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
 FieldEventHandler<T> handler)

Protected constructor with full parameters.

This constructor is not public as users are expected to use the builder API with the various withXxx() methods to set up the instance in a readable manner without using a huge amount of parameters.

Parameters:

eventFunction - event function

detectionSettings - event detection settings

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Method Details

create

protected FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T> create(FieldEventDetectionSettings<T> detectionSettings,
 FieldEventHandler<T> newHandler)

Build a new instance.

Specified by:

create in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

detectionSettings - detection settings

newHandler - event handler to call at event occurrences

Returns:

a new instance of the appropriate sub-type

g

public T g(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Compute the value of the detection function.

The value is the spacecraft elevation first time derivative.

Parameters:

s - the current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

Returns:

spacecraft elevation first time derivative

toEventDetector

public ElevationExtremumDetector toEventDetector(EventHandler eventHandler)

Build non-Field instance.

Overrides:

toEventDetector in class FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationExtremumDetector<T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>,T extends CalculusFieldElement<T>>

Parameters:

eventHandler - event handler

Returns:

event detector
