currentAssignment

Mapping of tracks to truth

Description

example

[trackIDs,truthIDs] = currentAssignment(assignmentMetric) returns the assignment of tracks to truth after the most recent update of the assignmentMetric System object™. The assignment is returned as a vector of track identifiers, trackIDs, and truth identifiers, truthIDs. Corresponding elements of the trackIDs and truthIDs vectors define the assignments.

Examples

collapse all

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
