class giant.relative_opnav.estimators.unresolved.PhaseCorrectionType(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

This enumeration provides the possible phase correction methods to use to convert the observed center-of-brightness to a center of figure observation.

SIMPLE = 1

This method assumes a spherical target and computes the phase correction for a sphere

RASTERED = 2

This method assumes a tessellated object and renders it using rasterization to compute the phase correction.

This will be much more accurate than the SIMPLE method for most tessellated targets, especially for ones that are not roughly spherical in shape. However, it is also much more computationally expensive and the newly realized accuracy could be useless if the object is still very small in the FOV of the camera.
