Ship: Pointing Covariance (Projection)

Projection of the equal probability density ellipsoid defined by the pointing covariance matrix onto the plane perpendicular to the mean pointing direction. The data requires position covariance to be defined for the object and/or its target.

Type: Time-varying data
