observations_setup¶
This module and its submodules contain settings for simulating/loading observation models in Tudat. These observations are for instance used as input for a state estimation/orbit determination.
The observations_simulation_settings module provides the top-level functionality for defining observation simulation settings, while the observations_dependent_variables, ancillary_settings, random_noise and viability modules provide interfaces for creating the various input to customize these settings. The observations_wrapper module provides various interfaces to load data from various sources. A more detailed overview of generating observations in Tudat is given on the user guide .
The main interfaces with the rest of Tudat for this module are the ObservationSimulationSettings() class, which are created by the various functions in the observations_simulation_settings module and define settings for simulating observations, and ObservationCollection objects, which are produced by various functions in the observations_wrapper module and contain the actual observations used downstream in Tudat.
