Constructor Detail

EllipticField

public EllipticField(String name,
                     Vector3D origin,
                     Vector3D mainDirection,
                     Vector3D majorSemiAxisDirection,
                     double angleA,
                     double angleB)

Constructor for an elliptic field of view.

Parameters:

name - the name of the field

origin - origin of the cone

mainDirection - the direction defining the center of the field

majorSemiAxisDirection - the direction defining the semi major axis of the field

angleA - the angular aperture along semi major axis (in rad)

angleB - the angular aperture along semi minor axis (in rad)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the origin is not correct

Method Detail

getAngularDistance

public double getAngularDistance(Vector3D direction)

Computes the angular distance between a vector and the border of the field. The result is positive if the direction is in the field, negative otherwise. For some of the fields (ComplexField), that value can be approximative : see particular javadoc of each class.

Specified by:

getAngularDistance in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - the direction vector

Returns:

the angular distance

isInTheField

public boolean isInTheField(Vector3D direction)

Specified by:

isInTheField in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - a direction vector

Returns:

true if the direction is in the field

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface IFieldOfView

Returns:

the name of the field

toString

public String toString()

Get a representation for this infinite oblique circular cone. The given parameters are in the same order as in the constructor.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a representation for this infinite oblique circular cone
