scientimate.enu2truenorth

directionTN = scientimate.enu2truenorth(directionENU, dispout='no')

Description

Convert mathematical direction (angle) from ENU (East North Up) coordinate system to compass direction with respect to true north

Inputs

directionENU
Direction (angle) in ENU (East North Up) coordinate system between 0 and 360 (Degree)
If coordinate system is ENU, then x is East and y is North
dispout=’no’
Define to display outputs or not (‘yes’: display, ‘no’: not display)
Note: inputs can be as a single value or a 1-D vertical array

Outputs

directionTN
Direction (angle) in compass direction with respect to true north (Degree)
In true north coordinate system, wave comes from as:
0 degree: from north, 90 degree: from east, 180 degree: from south, 270 degree: from west

Examples

import scientimate as sm
import numpy as np

directionTN=sm.enu2truenorth(90,'yes')

directionTN=sm.enu2truenorth([15,30,45,60,90],'no')

directionTN=sm.enu2truenorth(np.array([15,30,45,60,90]),'no')
