Georeference Level Component

The Georeference Level component allows you to choose the geographical location of your simulation. This component is a level component and should be added to the level entity. If you are using, for example, the GNSS Sensor Component, it complements its functionality.

Georeference Level Component Properties

PropertyDescriptionValuesDefault
AltitudeThe elevation of the ENU origin entity above Earth’s WGS84 ellipsoidmeters0
LatitudeThe north-south geographical coordinate in WGS84, where north is positivedegrees0
LongitudeThe east-west geographical coordinate in WGS84, where east is positivedegrees0
ENU Origin TransformEntity that has a geographical location assigned, and its local coordinate system follows ENU (East-North-Up) directionsEntity

Usage

  1. Identify a location in your level with a known geographical position. This could be a corner of a building or an intersection of roads.
  2. Create an empty entity in known location.
  3. Rotate the entity so that its local coordinate system aligns with mapping:
    • X should point East.
    • Y should point North.
    • Z should point up.
  4. In the Georeference Level component, enter the geographical location of the entity and set the ENU Origin Transform to reference the entity mentioned above.
