This library is written independent of any specific IMU. The idea is you pass in the appropriate
measurements and error terms from your IMU and get the desired output.
**This is still under heavy development**
## Reference Frames
* [ECI: Earth-centered Inertial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered_inertial) is an
inertial frame where Newton's laws of motion apply. It has its origin at the center of the
Earth with:
- x-axis in the direction of the vernal equinox
- z-axis is parallel to the rotation of the Earth
- y-axis completes the right-handed coordinate system
* [ECEF: Earth-centered, Earth-fixed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECEF) has the same origin
as ECI, but rotates with the Earth and the x-axis points towards the zero/prime
meridian. The ECEF frame rotates at 7.2921E-5 rads/sec with respect to the ECI
frame
* [LLA(H): Latitude, Longitude, Altitude(Height)](tbd) is similar to the ECEF frame, but
is the frame historically used for GPS navigation
## WGS84
```python
wgs = WGS84()
# here are a bunch of useful constants in WGS84 class
wgs.rf = 298.257223563
wgs.f = 1/self.rf
wgs.a = 6378137.0
wgs.b = self.a - self.a * self.f
wgs.e = np.sqrt(1 - (self.b ** 2 / self.a ** 2))
wgs.r = (2*self.a + self.b) / 3
wgs.rotation_period = 23*3600 + 56*60 + 4.09053
wgs.rate = 7.2921157e-5 # Rotation rate of Earth [rad/s]
wgs.sf = 1.2383e-3 # Schuller frequency
# translate ecef(x,y,z) <=> llh(lat,lon,alt)
wgs.ecef2llh(loc)
wgs.llh2ecef(loc)
wgs.gravity(lat) # gravity changes by latitude[deg]
wgs.radius(lat) # Earth's radius changes by latitude[deg]
wgs.haversine(a,b) # calculates distance between locations a and b
```
## Navigation Frames
While ECEF can be used to navigate the globe, often, you only need to travel 100's of meters
or kilometers. Thus a local navigational frame that is tangental to the curvature of the
Earth is more useful (and intuitive). Two common ones are:
* [ENU: East North Up](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions#Ground_reference_frames:_ENU_and_NED)
a local navigation frame, where *up* and the z-axis align, but clockwise right turns
are negative
* [NED: North East Down](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_east_down) a local navigation
frame, where *up* and the z-axis are opposite, but the direction of right (clockwise)
turns are in the positive direction and is the standard vehicle roll-pitch-yaw frame
```python
ref = (40,-90,100) # origin of local frame (lat[deg], lon[deg], altitude[m])
frame = NavigationalFrame(ref)
# allof these will calculate position relative to your local
# frame origin
loc = [x,y,z]
frame.ecef2ned(loc)
frame.ecef2enu(loc)
frame.ned2ecef(loc)
frame.enu2ecef(loc)
frame.enu2ned(loc)
frame.ned2enu(loc)
```
# Other Good Navigation Libraries
- [lat_lon_parser](https://pypi.org/project/lat-lon-parser/) allows you to convert between
measurements formats like `-45 deg 12' 36.0 sec`, `45.21 W`, and `-45.21` easily
- [nvector](https://www.navlab.net/nvector) has a lot of capability
- [navpy](https://github.com/NavPy/NavPy) appears to be simple grad student work but code is well referenced (BSD)
- [navigation](https://github.com/ngfgrant/navigation) does GPS navigation and way
points
