Coverage.reduce_visibility_to_facet

giant.coverage.coverage_class:

Coverage.reduce_visibility_to_facet(do_gsds=True)

This method serves to convert the visibility matrix of all surface vertices at all image times to a visibility matrix of all surface facets at all image times based on how each facet is characterized by the surface vertices.

It will also compute the altitude for each facet at each observations.

These computations are saved as facet_visibility, facet_altitudes, and facet_gsds attributes of the Coverage instance, and nothing is returned.

Parameters:

do_gsds (bool) – An optional flag to compute and save the ground sample distance to each facet for every observation

Return type:

None
