Trajectory and Scenario Generation

Ground-truth waypoint- and rate-based trajectories and scenarios

Generate ground-truth trajectories to drive sensor models using the kinematicTrajectory, waypointTrajectory, and geoTrajectory System objects. Simulate tracking of multiple platforms in a 3-D arena using trackingScenario. Design tracking scenarios, configure platforms and sensors, and generate synthetic object detections using the Tracking Scenario Designer app.

Topics

Tracking Simulation Overview
You can build a complete tracking simulation using the functions and objects supplied in this toolbox.
Creating a Tracking Scenario
You can define a tracking simulation by using the trackingScenario object.

Featured Examples

Design and Simulate Tracking Scenario with Tracking Scenario Designer

Use trackingScenarioDesigner with an existing session file. Using the application, you can add, modify, or remove platforms, monostatic radar sensors, and trajectories of all objects in the scenario. You can also export the scenario as a MATLAB script for further analysis.

Multiplatform Radar Detection Generation

Generate radar detections from a multiplatform radar network. The network includes three long-range platforms: two airborne and one ground-based. Such synthetic data can be used to test the performance of tracking architectures for different target types and maneuvers.

How to Simulate Out-of-Sequence Measurements

Simulate out-of-sequence measurements (OOSMs). OOSMs occur in multisensor systems when detections from some sensors arrive at the tracker after the tracker has processed detections of the same or earlier time from other sensors. Several reasons, mostly sensor processing lag and sensor-to-tracker connection delays, can cause this problem. For more about OOSMs, see Introduction to Out-of-Sequence Measurement Handling
