KalmanEstimator error

Orekit usage
1

Hi everyone,

I encountered an error today, when I tried the test sample from KalmanEstimatorTest to build a Kalman estimator. When the program executed
KalmanEstimator kalman = new KalmanEstimatorBuilder().addPropagationConfiguration(propagatorBuilder, new ConstantProcessNoise(processNoiseMatrix)).build();
an error would occur:

Do you have any idea why would this error occur? Thanks for your help!

Seems to be an issue with the jvm thinking the jars are corrupted. Which jvm are you using? Which version of Orekit and Hipparchus?

Hi Evan,

I used jdk 13.0.1. And Orekit 10.0 with some estimation part of the codes from 10.1 (files related to issue #588 in order to resolve a bug in 10.0, including KalmanModel ), Hipparchus 1.5.

I just checked even with all original Orekit 10.0 codes, the problem still persists.

Since I’m not very familiar with Java right now, do you have any clue what might be the problem?

Thank you for your help!

Could you try with Java 8 and see if the problem still persists?

6

Hi Evan,

I just checked with Java 8

java version "1.8.0_231"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_231-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.231-b11, mixed mode)

The problem still persists. It shows the same error info.

PS: I tested the same code with IDEA (jdk 13.0.1) and MATLAB (Java 1.8.0_202-b08, built-in MATLAB), the error didn’t occur. But when I used VS Code, I met with this problem. Do you think is it related to the IDE settings? I think I did not change the default settings of these IDEs.

Thanks for your help!

Hmm strange. Based on those results it seems to be an IDE issue. I’m not familiar with VS so I can’t help with that. Perhaps check that the class path is set correctly when running it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I managed to recreate the project and now it seems to work fine.
