Syntax

filter = initctukf(detection)

Description

filter = initctukf(detection) creates and initializes a constant-turn-rate unscented Kalman filter from information contained in a detection report. For more information about the unscented Kalman filter, see trackingUKF.

The function initializes a constant turn-rate state with the same convention as constturn and ctmeas, [x vx y vy ω z vz], where ω is the turn-rate.

Create and initialize a 2-D constant turn-rate unscented Kalman filter object from an initial detection report.

Create the detection report from an initial 2D measurement, (-250,-40), of the object position. Assume uncorrelated measurement noise.

Extend the measurement to three dimensions by adding a z-component of zero.

detection = objectDetection(0,[-250;-40;0],'MeasurementNoise',2.0*eye(3), ...
    'SensorIndex',1,'ObjectClassID',1,'ObjectAttributes',{'Car',2});

Create the new filter from the detection report and display the filter properties.

filter = initctukf(detection)

Initialize a 2-D constant turn-rate extended Kalman filter from an initial detection report made from an initial measurement in spherical coordinates. If you want to use spherical coordinates, then you must supply a measurement parameter structure as part of the detection report with the Frame field set to 'spherical'. Set the azimuth angle of the target to 45 degrees and the range to 1000 meters.

frame = 'spherical';
sensorpos = [25,-40,-10].';
sensorvel = [0;5;0];
laxes = eye(3);

Create the measurement parameters structure. Set 'HasVelocity' and 'HasElevation' to false. Then, the measurement consists of azimuth and range.

measparms = struct('Frame',frame,'OriginPosition',sensorpos, ...
    'OriginVelocity',sensorvel,'Orientation',laxes,'HasVelocity',false, ...
    'HasElevation',false);
meas = [45;1000];
measnoise = diag([3.0,2].^2);
detection = objectDetection(0,meas,'MeasurementNoise', ...
    measnoise,'MeasurementParameters',measparms)
detection = 
  objectDetection with properties:

                     Time: 0
              Measurement: [2x1 double]
         MeasurementNoise: [2x2 double]
              SensorIndex: 1
            ObjectClassID: 0
    ObjectClassParameters: []
    MeasurementParameters: [1x1 struct]
         ObjectAttributes: {}


filter = initctukf(detection);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Detection report, specified as an objectDetection object.

Example: detection = objectDetection(0,[1;4.5;3],'MeasurementNoise', [1.0 0 0; 0 2.0 0; 0 0 1.5])

Output Arguments

collapse all

Unscented Kalman filter, returned as a trackingUKF object.

Algorithms

  • The function computes the process noise matrix assuming a one-second time step. The function assumes an acceleration standard deviation of 1 m/s2, and a turn-rate acceleration standard deviation of 1°/s2.

  • You can use this function as the FilterInitializationFcn property of a radarTracker object.
