Class SensorScanProjectionFactory

java.lang.Object

noaa.coastwatch.util.trans.SensorScanProjectionFactory

public class SensorScanProjectionFactory
extends Object

The SensorScanProjectionFactory is used to generate SensorScanProjection objects. The currently supported sensors are as follows:

• GEOSTATIONARY - Simulates a geostationary satellite in orbit. Parameters are as follows:
  1. Subpoint latitude in degrees (geocentric).
  2. Subpoint longitude in degrees.
  3. Distance of satellite from center of Earth in kilometers.
  4. Scan step angle in row direction in radians.
  5. Scan step angle in column direction in radians.
  6. Vertical scan flag, non-zero for vertical (optional). If not included, a horizontal Meteosat/Himawari style scanner is assumed.

Since:

3.1.9
