initekfimm

A 3-D position measurement in rectangular frame is provided. For example, x = 1, y = 3, and z = 0. Use a 3-D position measurement noise [1 0.4 0; 0.4 4 0; 0 0 1].

detection = objectDetection(0, [1;3;0], 'MeasurementNoise', [1 0.4 0; 0.4 4 0; 0 0 1]);

Use initekfimm to create a trackingIMM filter initialized at the provided position and using the measurement noise defined above.

imm = initekfimm(detection);

Check the values of the state and measurement noise. Verify that the filter state, imm.State, has the same position components as detection measurement, detection.Measurement.

ans = 6×1

     0

Verify that the filter measurement noise, imm.MeasurementNoise, is the same as the detection.MeasurementNoise values.

ans = 3×3

    1.0000    0.4000         0
    0.4000    4.0000         0
         0         0    1.0000

A 3-D position measurement in spherical frame is provided. For example: az = 40, el = 6, r = 100, rr = 5. Measurement noise is diag([2.5, 2.5, 0.5, 1].^2).

meas = [40;6;100;5];
measNoise = diag([2.5,2.5,0.5,1].^2);

Use the MeasurementParameters to define the frame. You can leave out other fields of the MeasurementParameters struct, and they will be completed by default values. In this example, sensor position, sensor velocity, orientation, elevation, and range rate flags are default.

measParams = struct('Frame','spherical');
detection = objectDetection(0,meas,'MeasurementNoise',measNoise,...
     'MeasurementParameters', measParams); 

Use initekfimm to create a trackingIMM filter initialized at the provided position and using the measurement noise defined above.

imm = initekfimm(detection)
