pybsm.geospatial.ground_sample_distance(*, ifov: float, slant_range: float) → float

IBSM Equation 3-62, the ground sample distance.

The ground sample distance, i.e. the footprint of a single detector in object space.

Parameters:

• ifov – instantaneous field-of-view of a detector (radians)

• slant_range – slant range to target (m)

Returns:

gsd:

ground sample distance (m)
