QualifiedCoordinates

public QualifiedCoordinates(double latitude,
                            double longitude,
                            float altitude,
                            float horizontalAccuracy,
                            float verticalAccuracy)

Constructs a new QualifiedCoordinates object with the values specified. The latitude and longitude parameters are expressed in degrees using floating point values. The degrees are in decimal values (rather than minutes/seconds).

The coordinate values always apply to the WGS84 datum.

The Float.NaN value can be used for altitude to indicate that altitude is not known.

Parameters:

latitude - the latitude of the location, valid range: [-90.0, 90.0]

longitude - the longitude of the location, valid range: [-180.0, 180.0]

altitude - The altitude of the location in meters, defined as height above WGS84 ellipsoid. Float.NaN can be used to indicate that altitude is not known.

horizontalAccuracy - The horizontal accuracy of this location result in meters. Float.NaN can be used to indicate that the accuracy is not known. Must be greater or equal to 0.

verticalAccuracy - The vertical accuracy of this location result in meters. Float.NaN can be used to indicate that the accuracy is not known. Must be greater or equal to 0.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if an input parameter is out of the valid range

Method Detail

getHorizontalAccuracy

public float getHorizontalAccuracy()

Returns the horizontal accuracy of the location in meters (1-sigma standard deviation). A value of Float.NaN means the horizontal accuracy could not be determined.

The horizontal accuracy is the RMS (root mean square) of east accuracy (latitudinal error in meters, 1-sigma standard deviation), north accuracy (longitudinal error in meters, 1-sigma).

Returns:

the horizontal accuracy in meters, Float.NaN if this is not known

getVerticalAccuracy

public float getVerticalAccuracy()

Returns the accuracy of the location in meters in vertical direction (orthogonal to ellipsoid surface, 1-sigma standard deviation). A value of Float.NaN means the vertical accuracy could not be determined.

Returns:

the vertical accuracy in meters, Float.NaN if this is not known.

setHorizontalAccuracy

public void setHorizontalAccuracy(float horizontalAccuracy)

Sets the horizontal accuracy of the location in meters (1-sigma standard deviation). A value of Float.NaN means the horizontal accuracy could not be determined.

The horizontal accuracy is the RMS (root mean square) of east accuracy (latitudinal error in meters, 1-sigma standard deviation), north accuracy (longitudinal error in meters, 1-sigma).

Parameters:

horizontalAccuracy - The horizontal accuracy of this location result in meters. Float.NaN means the horizontal accuracy could not be determined. Must be greater or equal to 0.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is less than 0

setVerticalAccuracy

public void setVerticalAccuracy(float verticalAccuracy)

Sets the accuracy of the location in meters in vertical direction (orthogonal to ellipsoid surface, 1-sigma standard deviation). A value of Float.NaN means the vertical accuracy could not be determined.

Parameters:

verticalAccuracy - The vertical accuracy of this location result in meters. Float.NaN means the horizontal accuracy could not be determined. Must be greater or equal to 0.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is less than 0
