====== Plate_renderer ====== The plate_renderer is a tool for simulating camera observations on small bodies. With the given epoch, spacecraft position, attitude, instrument information, and the target shape, it can output a simulated camera image and observation geometries at that epoch. Although it is originally developed for Hayabusa and Hayabusa 2 missions, it can be easily modified to simulate observations of other small body missions. {{:plate_renderer:plate_renderer_01.png?400|}} {{:plate_renderer:plate_renderer_02.png?400|}} The plate_renderer is work with [[https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/index.html | the SPICE toolkit]] developed by [[https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/about.html | NAIF/JPL/NASA]]. You have to install the toolkit to compile the plate_renderer. [[https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio/ | CFITSIO]] is also required. ===== Source =====
