Functions

void SelfInit_pixelLineConverter(PixelLineConvertData *configData, int64_t moduleID)

This method transforms pixel, line, and diameter data into heading data for orbit determination or heading determination.

Parameters

• configData – The configuration data associated with the ephemeris model

• moduleID – The module identification integer

Returns

void

void Update_pixelLineConverter(PixelLineConvertData *configData, uint64_t callTime, int64_t moduleID)

This method reads in the camera and circle messages and extracts navigation data from them. It outputs the heading (norm and direction) to the celestial body identified in the inertial frame. It provides the heading to the most robust circle identified by the image processing algorithm.

Parameters

• configData – The configuration data associated with the ephemeris model

• callTime – The clock time at which the function was called (nanoseconds)

• moduleID – The module identification integer

Returns

void

void Reset_pixelLineConverter(PixelLineConvertData *configData, uint64_t callTime, int64_t moduleID)

This resets the module to original states.

Parameters

• configData – The configuration data associated with the ephemeris model

• callTime – The clock time at which the function was called (nanoseconds)

• moduleID – The module identification integer

Returns

void

struct PixelLineConvertData

#include <pixelLineConverter.h>

The configuration structure for the pixelLine Converter module.
