class
stonesoup.sensor.sensor.
Sensor
[source] Sensor Base class for general use.
Most properties and methods are inherited from
BaseSensor
, but this class includes crucial functionality and so should be used in preference.All sensors must be mounted on a platform to calculate their position and orientation. To make this easier, if the sensor has a position and/or orientation specified in the constructor, and no
platform_system
, then the default is to create an internally held “private” platform for the Sensor. This restricts the later setting of theplatform_system
but does allow the Sensor to control (and set) its own position and orientation.-

This property delegates the actual calculation of orientation to the platform on which the sensor is mounted.
It is settable if, and only if, the sensor holds its own internal platform.
