Azimuth Elevation Mask Variants | Data Provider Elements

Azimuth Elevation Mask

The obscuration mask data for the object. The data may have been derived from a body mask. Azimuth and elevation are measured in the sensor's body frame; however, the sensor may be set to use either the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis as the reference normal direction (i.e., the primary boresight axis) to the reference plane that is used to measure these angles.

Data Provider Variant: Sensor

Data Provider Elements

Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Point Number	Unitless	Integer	Point number.
Azimuth	Longitude	Real Number or Text	The angle about the reference normal direction, measured in the sensor's body frame, of the line-of-sight direction. The angle increases in the counter-clockwise direction about the reference normal direction.
Elevation	Angle	Real Number or Text	The angle that the line-of-sight direction makes with the reference plane, positive toward the reference normal direction when the sensor's parent is a vehicle and positive opposite the reference normal direction when the sensor's parent is a Facility, Target or Place.
