Examples

Retrieve Camera Height of Satellite Scenario Viewer

Create a satellite scenario object.

Input Arguments

viewer — Satellite Scenario Viewer

satelliteScenarioViewer object

Satellite Scenario Viewer, specified as a scalar satelliteScenarioViewer object.¹

height — Ellipsoidal height of camera

15000000 (default) | numeric scalar

Ellipsoidal height of the camera in meters, specified as a numeric scalar. satelliteScenarioViewer objects use the WGS84 reference ellipsoid. For more information about ellipsoidal height, see Geodetic Coordinates.

If you specify the height so that the camera is level with or below the surface of the Earth, then the camheight function sets the height to a value one meter above the surface.
