UNUSED<br />

Sensor limitations based on range, Field-of-View (FoV), Field-of-Regard<br />

(FoR) etc. are treated as error sources. If a limit is activated, and<br />

subsequently violated, the appropriated bit in the measurement ready flag is<br />

not set. The bits controlling the inclusion of sensor errors and measurement<br />

limitations can be interactively toggled and their parameters changed during<br />

program execution.<br />

Each sensor is provided with a word whose bits are set according to which<br />

limitation has been violated. Failure to provide a measurement at the user<br />

request is indicated by setting bit 0 of this word; the remaining bits are<br />

specific to a particular sensor’s limitations.<br />

3.2.1 SIMULINK Sensor Modelling<br />

SIMULINK sensor models were developed in parallel with the simulation to<br />

improve development times and provide an independent source of software<br />
