(*args, copy=True, representation_type=None, differential_type=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
ctapipe.coordinates.camera_frame.CameraFrame
Engineering camera coordinate frame.
The camera frame is a 2d cartesian frame, describing position of objects in the focal plane of the telescope.
The frame is defined as in MAGIC and FACT. Standing in the dish, looking onto the camera, x points right and y points up.
HESS, ctapipe and sim_telarray use a different camera coordinate system: To transform H.E.S.S./ctapipe -> FACT/MAGIC, do x’ = -y, y’ = -x.
