Sensor And Shader Modules

Sensor and shader modules couple analysis outputs with OrbPro2 rendering so users can inspect RF, EO/IR, viewshed, and volumetric effects in context.

What it can do

Render sensor volumes, generate GPU-assisted masks, compute RF or optical effects, and feed visualization-ready products back into the Cesium scene.

Contract shape

Inputs describe sensor state, scene geometry, frequency or band settings, and rendering parameters. Outputs include textures, masks, sampled values, and shader metadata.

Authoring checklist

Separate physical calculations from rendering parameters.
Declare texture dimensions, coordinate systems, and value ranges.
Validate CPU and GPU paths against shared reference cases.
Return graceful fallbacks for unsupported browser capabilities.
