GEODETIC2AER converts geodetic coordinates to azimuth, elevation, slant range

from an observer's perspective, convert target coordinates to azimuth, elevation, slant range.

Inputs

lat,lon, alt: ellipsoid geodetic coordinates of point under test (degrees, degrees, meters)
lat0, lon0, alt0: ellipsoid geodetic coordinates of observer/reference (degrees, degrees, meters)
spheroid: referenceEllipsoid
angleUnit: string for angular units. Default 'd': degrees, otherwise Radians

Outputs

az, el, slantrange: look angles and distance to point under test (degrees, degrees, meters)
az: azimuth clockwise from local north
el: elevation angle above local horizon

function [az, el, slantRange] = geodetic2aer(lat, lon, alt, lat0, lon0, alt0, spheroid, angleUnit)
if nargin < 7 || isempty(spheroid)
  spheroid = matmap3d.wgs84Ellipsoid();
end
if nargin < 8
  angleUnit = 'd';
end

[e, n, u] = matmap3d.geodetic2enu(lat, lon, alt, lat0, lon0, alt0, spheroid, angleUnit);
[az, el, slantRange] = matmap3d.enu2aer(e, n, u, angleUnit);
