Struct EcefPoint 

pub struct EcefPoint { /* private fields */ }

Earth-centred, Earth-fixed Cartesian point, metres.

Origin at the centre of mass; x towards 0°N 0°E, z towards the north pole, y towards 0°N 90°E. Reached from a GeodeticPoint via an Ellipsoid, and only from an ellipsoidal height: MSL heights need a geoid model, which this crate does not provide.

Implementations

impl EcefPoint

pub fn new(x: Distance, y: Distance, z: Distance) -> Self

Point from three coordinates.

pub fn x(&self) -> Distance

Towards 0°N 0°E.

pub fn y(&self) -> Distance

Towards 0°N 90°E.

pub fn z(&self) -> Distance

Towards the north pole.

pub fn from_geodetic( point: GeodeticPoint, ellipsoid: &Ellipsoid, ) -> Result<Self>

ECEF coordinates of a geodetic point on an ellipsoid.

Errors

KernelError::VerticalDatumMismatch unless the height is ellipsoidal; MSL heights need a geoid model supplied by an adapter.

pub fn to_geodetic(self, ellipsoid: &Ellipsoid) -> Result<GeodeticPoint>

Geodetic point and ellipsoidal height on an ellipsoid.

Bowring (1985) closed form: no iteration, sub-millimetre from the surface to satellite altitudes. Round trip with EcefPoint::from_geodetic holds to 1e-9° and 1e-3 m, poles and antimeridian included (property-tested).

Errors

KernelError::Indeterminate at the Earth’s centre, and for points so close to the polar axis inside the Earth that the geodetic height is undefined.

pub fn chord_to(&self, other: Self) -> Distance

Straight-line (chord) distance.
