Clarifications

1An association between a <DRM Feature Representation> instance and a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.

2An association between two <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.

3An association between a <DRM Feature Representation> instance and a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.

4An association between two <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instances indicates that the environmental object(s) that they represent have the semantic relationship indicated by the <DRM Base Association Data> link object on the association relationship.

5An association from a <DRM Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the <DRM Hierarchy Summary Item> instance summarizes that <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance.

6An association from a <DRM Reference Surface> instance to a <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance indicates that the <DRM Geometry Hierarchy> instance organizes the geometric objects that specify the reference surface geometry of the <DRM Reference Surface> instance.

7In the case where multiple <DRM Collision Volume> components are specified for the <DRM Aggregate Geometry> instance, the union of the volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.

8A <DRM Aggregate Geometry> instance can have a <DRM LSR Transformation> component only when the <DRM Aggregate Geometry> instance is within the scope of an LSR 3D SRF.

Example(s)

  • An antenna assembly is contained in a weather protection enclosure. Visually, only the opaque enclosure can be seen. But at microwave frequencies, the enclosure is invisible and only the antenna can be seen. The entire structure is contained in a <DRM Union Of Geometry Hierarchy> instance. What the radar sees is modelled with a radar cross-section (RCS) <DRM Property Table> instance. The algorithm (or field measurements) that computed the RCS table used axes that do not match the SRF (world or model as the case may be). Therefore, RCS axes of azimuth and elevation angle are misused unless some <DRM Reference Vector> instances are attached to the entire <DRM Union Of Geometry Hierarchy> instance.
