conic-1.1.0¶

Base class of all conic projections.

Description

In conic projections, the sphere is thought to be projected onto the surface of a cone which is then opened out.

In a general sense, the pixel-to-sky transformation is defined as:

\[\begin{split}\phi &= \arg\left(\frac{Y_0 - y}{R_\theta}, \frac{x}{R_\theta}\right) / C \\ R_\theta &= \mathrm{sign} \theta_a \sqrt{x^2 + (Y_0 - y)^2}\end{split}\]

and the inverse (sky-to-pixel) is defined as:

\[\begin{split}x &= R_\theta \sin (C \phi) \\ y &= R_\theta \cos (C \phi) + Y_0\end{split}\]

where \(C\) is the “constant of the cone”:

\[C = \frac{180^\circ \cos \theta}{\pi R_\theta}\]

Schema Definitions ¶

This node must validate against all of the following:

This type is an object with the following properties:
- direction
  object
  This node has no type definition (unrestricted)
- sigma
  number
  \((\theta_1 + \theta_2) / 2\) where \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) are the latitudes of the standard parallels, in degrees. This parameter is also referred to as theta_A.
- delta
  number
  \((\theta_1 - \theta_2) / 2\) where \(\theta_1\) and \(\theta_2\) are the latitudes of the standard parallels, in degrees. This parameter is also referred to as delta.
  
  Default value: 0
