Hello everybody,
this is my problem/challenge. Given is the Radius (rng15), Azimut (phi15) and the Elevation (theta15) as root data of an object. It is beeing tracked from above at 7600m Altitude and and a speed of 190 m/s purely by the x-Axis.
After sph2cart transformation I have checked on the Azimut and Elevation angles as well the Range, and I found out that they dont meet / are not equal with the root data.
I would like to have your oppinion / advise about it.
Thank you.
The position and speed of the tracking device:
v0=190.46; % Speed of the tracking device, pure by the x-Axis
rngTime15= linspace(12.05, 34.03, 10000);
timeDiff15=(rngTime15-rngTime15(1));
r015 = timeDiff15.*v0;
xR15=r015; % Distance achieved from the device purele by the x-Axis
y015=zeros(1,10000);
rz015 = 25000/3.28084; % Altitude in meters now
z015=rz015.*ones(1,10000);
The Range of the object:
rng = [4.4 nan 4.3 4.2 4.1 nan 4.0 3.9 nan 3.8 3.7 3.6 nan 3.5 3.4 nan 3.3 ];
rng = rng.*1852; % rng NOW IN METERS
x = (1:17);
[rng,TF] = fillmissing(rng,'linear','SamplePoints',x);
rng15=imresize(rng,[1 10000], 'nearest');
rng15 = smoothdata(rng15);
The Elevation of the object:
theta = [-26 -27 -27 -28 -29 -29 -30 -30 -31 -31 -32 -33 -33 -34 -35 -35 -36];
theta15 = imresize(theta, [1 10000], 'nearest');
theta15=smoothdata(theta15);
theta15rad=deg2rad(theta15);
The Azimut of the object:
phi= [43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 58];
phi15 = imresize(phi, [1 10000], 'nearest');
phi15=smoothdata(phi15);
phi15rad=deg2rad(phi15);
The tranformation function:
[xt,yt,zt] = sph2cart(phi15rad,theta15rad,rng15);
These are the results I got after the execution, in which I checked the results with the root data:
theta1Check = rad2deg(atan(zt(1)/yt(1))); % -36deg
theta2Check = rad2deg(atan(zt(10000)/yt(10000)));% -39deg
phi1Check = rad2deg(atan(yt(1)/xt(1))); %44deg
phi2Check = rad2deg(atan(yt(10000)/xt(10000)));%57deg
rng15Check1 = sqrt(((xR15(1)-xt(1))^2)+((y015(1)-yt(1))^2)+((z015(1)-zt(1))^2)) ; % 1331m
rng15Check10000 = sqrt(((xR15(10000)-xt(10000))^2)+((y015(10000)-yt(10000))^2)+((z015(10000)-zt(10000))^2)) ; % 1210m
The Azimut angle seems to be correct. The Elevation angle (desired result round about between -26deg to -36deg) and range (desired result round about between 8000 and 6260) are not.
I also get negative results on the z-Axis which should not be possible, because it has been stated that the object should be above the ground.

Hi,
From the check code at the last I see the definition you have used to derive theta and range seems incorrect. Here is the correct formula which you can use to verify if the returned values are correct or not. For the negative value of zt since the elevation angle is negative and z is basically the radius multiplied with sine of elevation so it is coming out negative as per the given elevation angle. You may replace the last part of code with below one to verify the results.
theta1Check = rad2deg(atan(zt(1)/sqrt(yt(1).^2 + xt(1).^2)));
theta2Check = rad2deg(atan(zt(10000)/sqrt(yt(10000).^2 + xt(10000).^2)));
phi1Check = rad2deg(atan(yt(1)/xt(1)));
phi2Check = rad2deg(atan(yt(10000)/xt(10000)));
rng15Check1 = sqrt(xt(1)^2+yt(1)^2+zt(1)^2);
rng15Check10000 = sqrt(xt(10000)^2+yt(10000)^2+zt(10000)^2);
Hope this clarifies any doubts.
