trackerGridRFS
Description
The trackerGridRFS
System object™ is a tracker capable of processing detections of multiple targets from multiple
sensors in a 2-D environment. The tracker tracks dynamic objects around an autonomous system
using high resolution sensor data such as point clouds and radar detections. The tracker uses
the random finite set (RFS) based approach combined with Dempster-Shafer approximations
defined in [1] to estimate the dynamic
characteristics of the grid cells. To extract objects from the grid, the tracker uses a
cell-to-track association scheme [2]. For more details, see
Algorithms.
To track targets using this object:
Create the
trackerGridRFS
object and set its properties.Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.

Creation
Description
creates a
tracker
= trackerGridRFStrackerGridRFS
System object with default property values.
sets properties for the tracker using one or more name-value pairs. For example,
tracker
= trackerGridRFS(Name,Value
)trackerGridRFS('MaxNumTracks',100)
creates a grid-based multi-object
tracker that allows a maximum of 100 tracks. Enclose each property name in quotes.
Properties
Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their
values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and the
release
function unlocks them.
If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.
For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.
Tracker ConfigurationTrackerIndex

in the tracker outputs, and distinguishes tracks that come from different trackers in a multiple-tracker system. You must specify this property as a positive integer to use the track outputs as inputs to a track fuser.

objects | cell array of trackingSensorConfiguration
objects | equivalent structure formats
Configuration of tracking sensors, specified as a trackingSensorConfiguration
objects, an array of
trackingSensorConfiguration
, or a cell array of array of
trackingSensorConfiguration
objects. This property provides the
tracking sensor configuration information, such as sensor detection limits, sensor
resolution, and sensor mounting, to the tracker. There are no default values for the
SensorConfigurations
property, and you must specify the
SensorConfigurations
property before using the tracker. You can
update the configuration, if the HasSensorConfigurationsInput
property is set to true
, by specifying the configuration input
argument configs
.
When specifying the trackingSensorConfiguration
object, the
following properties must be specified with these formats:
Property Name | Format |
---|---|

IsValidTime | Indicate if the sensor data should be used to update tracks,
specified as |

contain fields with the same names as the measurement parameters used in a
measurement function, such as the The first structure must describe the transformation from the autonomous system to the sensor coordinates. The subsequent structure describes the transformation from the autonomous system to the tracking coordinate frame. If only one structure is provided, the tracker assumes tracking is performed in the coordinate frame of the autonomous system. |
SensorLimits | Sensor detection limits, specified as a 2-by-2 matrix of scalars. The first row specifies the lower and upper limits of the azimuth angle in degrees. The second row specifies the lower and upper limits of the detection range in meters. |

object.
Alternately, you can specify this property using structures with fields names same as
the property names of the trackingSensorConfiguration
object.

desirable attributes of the generated tracks.
For example, you can use the following structure to define a rectangular reference
frame whose origin position is at [10 10 0]
meters and whose origin
velocity is [2 -2 0] meters per second with respect to the scenario frame.

Create a tracking scenario.
scene = trackingScenario('UpdateRate',5,'StopTime',5); rng(2021); % For reproducible results
Add a platform with a mounted lidar sensor to the tracking scenario.
plat = platform(scene); lidar = monostaticLidarSensor(1,'DetectionCoordinates','Body','HasOrganizedOutput',false);
Add two targets with random positions and velocities to the scenario. Also, define the trajectory, mesh, and dimension of each platform.
for i = 1:2 target = platform(scene); x = 50*(2*rand - 1); y = 50*(2*rand - 1); vx = 5*(2*rand - 1); vy = 5*(2*rand - 1); target.Trajectory.Position = [x y 0]; target.Trajectory.Velocity = [vx vy 0]; % Align the orientation of the target with the direction of motion. target.Trajectory.Orientation = quaternion([atan2d(vy,vx),0,0],'eulerd','ZYX','frame'); target.Mesh = extendedObjectMesh('sphere'); target.Dimensions = struct('Length',4,'Width',4,'Height',2,'OriginOffset',[0 0 0]); end
Define the configuration of the lidar sensor.
config = trackingSensorConfiguration(1,... 'SensorLimits',[-180 180;0 100],... 'SensorTransformParameters',struct,... 'IsValidTime',true);
Create a grid-based tracker.
tracker = trackerGridRFS('SensorConfigurations',config,... 'AssignmentThreshold',5,... 'MinNumCellsPerCluster',4,... 'ClusteringThreshold',3);
Define a theaterPlot
object and two associated plotters for visualizing the tracking scene.

Algorithms
Tracker Logic Flow
The trackerGridRFS
system object initializes, confirms, and deletes tracks
automatically by using this algorithm:
The tracker projects sensor data from all sensors on a two-dimensional grid map to represent the occupancy and free evidence in a Dempster-Shafer framework.
The tracker uses a particle-based approach to estimate the dynamic state of the 2-D grid. This helps the tracker to classify each cell as dynamic or static.
The tracker manage tracks based on this logic:
The tracker associates each dynamic grid cell with the existing tracks using a gated nearest-neighbor approach.
The tracker initializes new tracks using unassigned dynamic grid cells. A track is created with a
Tentative
status, and the status will change toConfirmed
after enough updates. For more information, see theConfirmationThreshold
property.Alternatively, the tracker confirms a track immediately if the
ObjectClassID
of the track is set to a positive value after track initialization. For more information, see theTrackInitializationFcn
property.The tracker performs coasting, predicting unassigned tracks to the current time, and deletes tracks with more misses than allowed. For more information, see the
DeletionThreshold
property.
