    Syntax

    setMeasurementSizes(filter,measurementSize,measurementNoiseSize)

    Description

    setMeasurementSizes(filter,measurementSize,measurementNoiseSize) sets the expected sizes of the measurement and measurement noise to the values in the measurementSize and measurementNoiseSize input arguments. When working with variable-sized measurements, use this function before passing measurements of new sizes to other object functions such as correct and distance.

    Note

    Only trackerGNN and trackerJPDA support variable-sized measurement, but not for the trackingKF filter.

    Create a linear Kalman filter that uses a 3D constant velocity motion model. Initialize the filter with a starting state vector indicating position and velocity.

    KF = trackingKF(MotionModel="3D Constant Velocity" ...
    ,State=[100;0;0;0;0;0]);
predict(KF,1)

    Predict the state of the filter after 1 second and use the distance function to lock the measurement model. 

    distance(KF,[100;0;0])
    ans = 
3.5360

    Display the current measurement model, measurement noise, and state covariance matrix.

    To update the measurement and measurement noise sizes for the filter, use the setMeasurementSizes function. 

    setMeasurementSizes(KF,2,2);

    Update the measurement model of the Kalman filter to consider only the position in the x and z directions. Set the measurement noise to 3, which will scalar expand into a 2-by-2 matrix.

    KF.MeasurementModel = [1 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 1 0 0 0];
KF.MeasurementNoise = 3;

    Display the updated measurement model and measurement noise.

    disp(KF.MeasurementModel);
         1     0     0     0     0     0

    disp(KF.MeasurementNoise)
         3     0
     0     3

    Use the distance function to lock the updated measurement model.

    distance(KF,[100;0])
    ans = 
3.3165

    Correct the filter's state estimation using a new measurement vector with different size and display the updated state covariance matrix.

    Initialize the constant velocity Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) using an objectDetection object.

    mp = struct('Frame', 'spherical', ...
    'HasElevation', false, 'HasVelocity', false);
detection = objectDetection(0,[0;100], ...
    'MeasurementParameters',mp);

    Predict the state of the filter after 1 second and use the distance function to lock the measurement function. 

    predict(filter, 1);
