Coverage.compute_velocities

giant.coverage.coverage_class:

Coverage.compute_velocities(velocity_function)

This method uses a given velocity function for the camera to compute the velocity and range of the camera relative to each surface element in the target body-fixed frame.

Parameters:

velocity_function (Callable) – A callable function that computes the relative velocity of each surface element to the camera in the camera frame

Returns:

A tuple of the following data:

An array of camera velocities relative to each surface element in pixels/s,

An array of camera velocities relative to each surface element in km/s, and

An array of camera ranges relative to each surface element in km

Return type:

Tuple[ndarray[tuple[Any, …], dtype[float64]], ndarray[tuple[Any, …], dtype[float64]], ndarray[tuple[Any, …], dtype[float64]]]
