Field of View Sat Event Detector Example

[bcazabonne]

Hi @Evan

You are on the good way
To improve your code I would recommend you 2 things:

1. Try to reduce the half aperture angle of your circular field of view. Indeed, 180° is a big value. It means that the aperture angle of the detector is 360°, which is not a realistic value.

2. Combine the FieldOfViewDetector with an ElevationDetector using a BooleanDetector . In order to improve it, I would recommend you to look at the following answer given by Pascal.

FoV/FoV Detector Usage Problems

The easiest way is to combine your FieldOfViewDetector with an ElevationDetector thanks to the BooleanDetector. You could try something like: final FieldOfViewDetector fd = new FieldOfViewDetector(tcf, fov); final ElevationDetector ed = new ElevationDetector(tcf).withConstantElevation(0.); final BooleanDetector detector = BooleanDetector.andCombine(ed, BooleanDetector.notCombine(fd)).withMaxCheck(maxCheckingInterval).withHandler(new EventHandler<BooleanDetector>() { private AbsoluteDate sta…
