Examine the assignments and errors for a system tracking two targets.

First, load the stored track data.

load trackmetricex tracklog truthlog

Create objects to analyze assignment and error metrics.

tam = trackAssignmentMetrics;
tem = trackErrorMetrics;

Create the output variables.

posRMSE = zeros(numel(tracklog),1);
velRMSE = zeros(numel(tracklog),1);
posANEES = zeros(numel(tracklog),1);
velANEES = zeros(numel(tracklog),1);

Loop over all tracks to:

  • Extract the tracks and ground truth at the i th tracker update.

  • Analyze and retrieve the current track-to-truth assignment.

  • Analyze instantaneous error metrics over all tracks and truths.

for i=1:numel(tracklog)
    tracks = tracklog{i};
    truths = truthlog{i};
    [trackAM,truthAM] = tam(tracks, truths);
    [trackIDs,truthIDs] = currentAssignment(tam);
    [posRMSE(i),velRMSE(i),posANEES(i),velANEES(i)] = ...
        tem(tracks,trackIDs,truths,truthIDs);
end

Input Arguments

collapse all

Track assignment metrics object, specified as a trackAssignmentMetrics System object.

Output Arguments

collapse all

Truth metrics table, returned as a table. Each row of the table represents a truth. The table has these columns:

TruthID

Unique truth identifier

AssignedTrackID

Unique identifier of the associated track

DeletionStatus

False if the truth was reported in the last update

TotalLengthNumber of updates this truth was reported
UnreportedStatus

True if the truth was not reported in the current update

MaxTimeBetweenReportsThe maximum time interval between adjacent updates to this truth. To enable this field, set the MaxUnreportedPeriod property to a non-zero value. The field is returned as a NaN value if there was only one update to this truth.
MeanTimeBetweenReportsThe average time interval between adjacent updates to this truth. To enable this field, set the MaxUnreportedPeriod property to a non-zero value. The field is returned as a NaN value if there was only one update to this truth.
DeletionLength

The number of updates in which the track was following a deleted truth

BreakStatus

True when an established truth no longer has any track assigned with it

BreakCount

Number of times this truth entered a broken state

BreakLength

Number of updates in which this truth was in a broken state

InCoverageArea

True if this truth object is inside the coverage area

EstablishmentStatus

True if the truth is associated to any track

EstablishmentLength

Number of updates before this truth was associated to any track while inside the coverage area
