get_virtual_target(lower_bound_x: float, lower_bound_y: float, side_length: float) → DronePosition:

This function creates a new random virtual target inside the specified working field.

Args:

• lower_bound_x: The x-coordinate of the lower bound of the working field.

• lower_bound_y: The y-coordinate of the lower bound of the working field.

• side_length: The side length of the working field.

Returns:

A models.DronePosition object that represents the new virtual target.

Example:

>>> from models.swarm import Swarm
>>> from models.droneposition import DronePosition, m_to_deg
>>> from utils.get_virtual_target import get_virtual_target
>>>
>>> swarm = Swarm()
>>> lower_bound_x = 0.0
>>> lower_bound_y = 0.0
>>> side_length = 1000.0
>>>
>>> virtual_target = get_virtual_target(lower_bound_x, lower_bound_y, side_length)
>>>
>>> print(virtual_target)
