Class MERCnav

java.lang.Object

ucar.mcidas.AREAnav

ucar.mcidas.MERCnav

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class MERCnav
extends AREAnav

Navigation class for Mercator (MERC) type nav. This code was modified from the original FORTRAN code (nvxmerc.dlm) on the McIDAS system. It only supports latitude/longitude to line/element transformations (LL) and vice/versa. Transform to 'XYZ' not implemented.

Constructor Detail

MERCnav

public MERCnav(int[] iparms)
        throws IllegalArgumentException

Set up for the real math work. Must pass in the int array of the MERC nav 'codicil'.

Parameters:

iparms - the nav block from the image file

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the nav block is not a MERC type.

Method Detail

toLatLon

public double[][] toLatLon(double[][] linele)

converts from satellite coordinates to latitude/longitude

Specified by:

toLatLon in class AREAnav

Parameters:

linele - array of line/element pairs. Where linele[indexLine][] is a 'line' and linele[indexEle][] is an element. These are in 'file' coordinates (not "image" coordinates.)

Returns:

latlon[][] array of lat/long pairs. Output array is latlon[indexLat][] of latitudes and latlon[indexLon][] of longitudes.

toLinEle

public double[][] toLinEle(double[][] latlon)

toLinEle converts lat/long to satellite line/element

Specified by:

toLinEle in class AREAnav

Parameters:

latlon - array of lat/long pairs. Where latlon[indexLat][] are latitudes and latlon[indexLon][] are longitudes.

Returns:

linele[][] array of line/element pairs. Where is an element. These are in 'file' coordinates (not "image" coordinates);

toLatLon

public float[][] toLatLon(float[][] linele)

converts from satellite coordinates to latitude/longitude

Overrides:

toLatLon in class AREAnav

Parameters:

linele - array of line/element pairs. Where linele[indexLine][] is a 'line' and linele[indexEle][] is an element. These are in 'file' coordinates (not "image" coordinates.)

Returns:

latlon[][] array of lat/long pairs. Output array is latlon[indexLat][] of latitudes and latlon[indexLon][] of longitudes.

toLinEle

public float[][] toLinEle(float[][] latlon)

toLinEle converts lat/long to satellite line/element

Overrides:

toLinEle in class AREAnav

Parameters:

latlon - array of lat/long pairs. Where latlon[indexLat][] are latitudes and latlon[indexLon][] are longitudes.

Returns:

linele[][] array of line/element pairs. Where is an element. These are in 'file' coordinates (not "image" coordinates);
