Systems and Methods for Providing a Visualization of Satellite Sightline Obstructions

摘要

Systems and methods for providing a visualization of satellite sightline obstructions are provided. An example method includes identifying an approximate position of a receiver antenna. The method further includes providing a rendering of a physical environment surrounding the receiver antenna for display within a user interface. The user interface can be provided on a display. Satellite positional data associated with the position of a satellite is accessed and a sightline between the approximate position of the receiver antenna and the position of the satellite is determined. The method further includes presenting the sightline within the user interface in association with the rendering. An example system includes a data capture system and a computing device to provide a visualization of satellite sightline obstructions.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for providing a visualization of sightline obstructions, the method comprising:
identifying, by one or more computing devices, an approximate position of a receiver antenna; providing, by the one or more computing devices, a rendering of a physical environment surrounding the receiver antenna for display within a user interface, wherein the user interface is provided on a display; accessing, by the one or more computing devices, satellite positional data describing a position of a satellite; determining, by the one or more computing devices, a sightline between the approximate position of the receiver antenna and the position of the satellite; and presenting, by the one or more computing devices, the sightline within the user interface in association with the rendering.
