Geographic context

drag to rotate · auto-centers on truth

Altitude

Inputs · two LLH coordinates
lat (deg)lon (deg)alt (m)
Truth T
Sensor E

The TLE process uses both LLH coordinates as primary inputs — convert each through ECEF, take the difference in NED, then split into eH and eV. Drag the sensor pin in the NE plot below to set the offset graphically.

Scenarios
Latitude experiment · cos(lat) effect
truth lat +34.917°

Slide the truth latitude. Both pins translate together (the same Δlat, Δlon, Δalt stay applied to the sensor). Watch eH change while eV stays fixed — the angular offset is the same, but its metric reach depends on cos(lat).

eH · horizontal error
— m
eV · vertical error
— m
