configs = coverageConfig(sensors)
returns sensor coverage configuration structures from a list of sensors and emitters.
configs = coverageConfig(sensors,positions,orientations)
allows you to specify the position and orientation of the platform on which each sensor or
emitter is mounted.
Position of sensor or emitter's platform, specified as an N-by-3
matrix of scalars. The ith row of the matrix is the
[x, y, z] Cartesian
coordinates of the ith sensor or emitter's platform.
Orientation of sensor or emitter's platform, specified as an
N-by-1 vector of quaternions. The ith quaternion
in the vector represents the rotation from the global or scenario frame to the
ith sensor or emitter's platform frame.
Sensor or emitter coverage configurations, returned as an
N-element array of configuration structures. N is
the number of sensor or emitter objects specified in the sensors
input. Each configuration structure contains seven fields:
Fields of configurations
Field
Description
Index
A unique integer to identify sensors or emitters.
LookAngle
Current boresight angles of the sensor or emitter, returned
as:
A scalar in degrees if scanning only in the azimuth
direction.
A two-element vector [azimuth;
elevation] in degrees if scanning in both the
azimuth and elevation directions.
FieldOfView
Field of view of the sensor or emitter, returned as a two-element vector
[azimuth; elevation] in
degrees.
ScanLimits
Minimum and maximum angles the sensor or emitter can scan from its
Orientation.
If the sensor or emitter can only scan in the azimuth direction,
the limits are returned as a 1-by-2 row vector
[minAz, maxAz] in degrees.
If the sensor or emitter can also scan in the elevation direction,
the limits are returned as a 2-by-2 matrix [minAz,
maxAz; minEl,
maxEl] in degrees.
Range
Range of the beam and coverage area of the sensor or emitter in
meters.
Position
Origin position of the sensor or emitter, returned as a three-element
vector [X, Y,
Z].
Orientation
Rotation transformation from the scenario or global frame to the sensor
or emitter mounting frame, returned as a quaternion.
You can use configs to plot the sensor coverage in a theaterPlot using its
plotCoverage (Radar Toolbox) object function.
Note
The Index field is returned as a positive integer if the input
is a sensor object, such as a fusionRadarSensor object. The Index field is returned
as negative integer if the input is an emitter object, such as a radarEmitter object.
