Reference frame representation, transformations, and operations for GPS.
This module can be installed using PyPI:
pip install gps-frames
This module includes tests for all of the major functionality. To run the tests, you can use the commands in the makefile make test. Because some of the functions use JIT compilation via Numba, make test-nojit runs all of the tests without JIT compilation to enable better code coverage analysis.
To motivating use case of this module is it determine distances between two points in space while accounting for non-inertial reference frames and non-simultaneous position measures. The basic functionality is demonstrated in example.py.ma
Note: When first run, gps-frames has significant overhead due to JIT compliation. This should only occur on the first run. Additionally, you may see NumbaPerformanceWarning messages related to the @ (matrix multiplication) operator. These can be disregarded and should only appear the first time gps-frames is run.
