MANUAL
To use the first 4 tiepoints for navigation purposes.
The first 4 tiepoints are used to set the solar image location, size, camera
focal length and scale. So the first 4 points must be placed on the:
1. left solar limb
2. right solar limb
3. top solar limb
4. bottom solar limb
Default is to assume the image is centered in the picture and the scale
is 42 arc minutes over 512 pixels.
OAL
Optical Axis Line
Defaults to 256
OAS
Optical Axis Sample
Defaults to 256
CENLINE
Line of sun center.
Computed from first 4 input tiepoints.
CENSAMP
Sample of sun center
Computed from first 4 input tiepoints.
SCALE
Image plane scale.
Pixels/mm.
Computed from first 4 input tiepoints.
FOCAL
Camera focal length.
In mm.
Computed from first 4 input tiepoints.
SCLONG1
Sub spacecraft longitude.
Left picture.
Degrees solarcentric West.
Overrides SPICE
SCLAT1
Sub spacecraft latitude.
Left picture.
Degrees solarcentric.
Overrides SPICE
SCLONG2
Sub spacecraft longitude.
Right picture.
Degrees solarcentric West
Overrides SPICE
SCLAT2
Sub spacecraft latitude.
Right picture.
Degrees solarcentric.
Overrides SPICE
NORTH
North angle.
Angle of north spin axis
Degrees clockwise from up.
RANGE
Distance to planet.
In km.
Overrides SPICE
ERADIUS
Equatorial planet
radius km
DEFAULT=695990.
PRADIUS
Polar planet
radius km
DEFAULT=695990.
SWITCH
Switches line with sample on the input file.
For people who can't keep it straight.
EPIPOLAR
Sets the right image line to the left image line, so both line coordinates
are the same for each tiepoint.
NOSPICE
Keyword to specify the source of navigation (sclong, sclat, range).
SPICE (the default) says to compute them using spice kernels.
NOSPICE says to bypass spice and take them from the parameters.
To be used only if the spice kernels are unavailable, to avoid a crash.
SPICEFILE
The name of the solar system spice sp kernel. Defaults to:
/project/spice/ops/generic_kernels/spk/de405s.bsp
This is a binary kernel operating under solaris operating system.
It is assumed that the LEAPSECONDS and CONSTANTS kernels are defined by
these 2 logical names and exist in the standard GLL spice directory.
