Workspace Method sensor_poslosFromGeodetic

Description

Converts sensor position and LOS from geodetic to geocentric values.

The geodetic position and line-of-sight (LOS) are defined by 
sensor_pos_geodetic and sensor_los_geodetic. The later WSV
is here allowed to be empty (but gives an empty sensor_los).
Otherwise the number of rows in the two WSVs must agree.

So far only 3D is handled.

sensor_pos, sensor_los, sensor_pos_geodetic, sensor_los_geodetic, refellipsoid )

Variables

OUT	sensor_pos	(Matrix)	The sensor position for each measurement block.
OUT	sensor_los	(Matrix)	The sensor line-of-sight (LOS) for each measurement block.
IN	sensor_pos_geodetic	(Matrix)	As sensor_pos but using geodetic coordinates.
IN	sensor_los_geodetic	(Matrix)	As sensor_los but matching geodetic coordinates.
IN	refellipsoid	(Vector)	Reference ellipsoid.
