Movables

class stonesoup.movable.movable.Movable(states: MutableSequence[State], position_mapping: Sequence[int], velocity_mapping: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]

Bases: StateMutableSequence, Actionable, ABC

Parameters:

  • states (collections.abc.MutableSequence) – A list of States which enables the platform’s history to be accessed in simulators and for plotting. Initiated as a state, for a static platform, this would usually contain its position coordinates in the form [x, y, z]. For a moving platform it would contain position and velocity interleaved: [x, vx, y, vy, z, vz]

  • position_mapping (collections.abc.Sequence) – Mapping between platform position and state vector. For a position-only 3d platform this might be [0, 1, 2]. For a position and velocity platform: [0, 2, 4]

  • velocity_mapping (Optional[collections.abc.Sequence[int]], optional) – Mapping between platform velocity and state dims. If not set, it will default to [m+1 for m in position_mapping]

class stonesoup.movable.movable.FixedMovable(states: MutableSequence[State], position_mapping: Sequence[int], velocity_mapping: Sequence[int] | None = None, orientation: StateVector = None)[source]

Bases: Movable

Fixed platform base class

A platform represents a random object defined as a StateMutableSequence with fixed (but settable) position and orientation.

Note

Position and orientation are read/write properties in this class.

Parameters:

  • states (collections.abc.MutableSequence) – A list of States which enables the platform’s history to be accessed in simulators and for plotting. Initiated as a state, for a static platform, this would usually contain its position coordinates in the form [x, y, z]. For a moving platform it would contain position and velocity interleaved: [x, vx, y, vy, z, vz]

  • position_mapping (collections.abc.Sequence) – Mapping between platform position and state vector. For a position-only 3d platform this might be [0, 1, 2]. For a position and velocity platform: [0, 2, 4]

  • velocity_mapping (Optional[collections.abc.Sequence[int]], optional) – Mapping between platform velocity and state dims. If not set, it will default to [m+1 for m in position_mapping]

  • orientation (StateVector, optional) – A fixed orientation of the static platform. Defaults to the zero vector

orientation: StateVector

A fixed orientation of the static platform. Defaults to the zero vector

property velocity: StateVector

Return the velocity of the platform.

For a fixed platform this is always a zero vector of length ndim.

property is_moving: bool

Return the True if the platform is moving, False otherwise.

move(timestamp: datetime, **kwargs) → None[source]

For a fixed platform this method has no effect other than to update the timestamp.

class stonesoup.movable.movable.MovingMovable(states: MutableSequence[State], position_mapping: Sequence[int], transition_model: TransitionModel, velocity_mapping: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]

Bases: Movable

Moving platform base class

A platform represents a random object defined as a State that moves according to a given TransitionModel.

Note

Position and orientation are a read only properties in this class.

Parameters:

  • states (collections.abc.MutableSequence) – A list of States which enables the platform’s history to be accessed in simulators and for plotting. Initiated as a state, for a static platform, this would usually contain its position coordinates in the form [x, y, z]. For a moving platform it would contain position and velocity interleaved: [x, vx, y, vy, z, vz]

  • position_mapping (collections.abc.Sequence) – Mapping between platform position and state vector. For a position-only 3d platform this might be [0, 1, 2]. For a position and velocity platform: [0, 2, 4]

  • transition_model (TransitionModel) – Transition model

  • velocity_mapping (Optional[collections.abc.Sequence[int]], optional) – Mapping between platform velocity and state dims. If not set, it will default to [m+1 for m in position_mapping]

transition_model: TransitionModel

Transition model

property velocity: StateVector

Return the velocity of the platform.

Extracted from the state vector of the platform using the platform’s velocity_mapping. If the state vector is too short and does not contain the elements specified in the velocity_mapping this raises an AttributeError

property orientation: StateVector

Return the orientation of the platform.

This is defined as a 3x1 StateVector of angles (rad), specifying the sensor orientation in terms of the counter-clockwise rotation around each Cartesian axis in the order \(x,y,z\). The x and z rotation angles are positive if the rotation is in the counter-clockwise direction when viewed by an observer looking along the respective rotation axis, towards the origin. The y rotation angle is the opposite (matching ‘elevation’).

The orientation of this platform is defined as along the direction of its velocity, with roll always set to zero (as this is the angle the platform is rotated about the velocity axis, which is not defined in this approximation).

Notes

A non-moving platform (self.is_moving == False) does not have a defined orientation in this approximations and so raises an AttributeError

property is_moving: bool

Return the True if the platform is moving, False otherwise.

Equivalent (for this class) to all(v == 0 for v in self.velocity)

move(timestamp=None, noise=True, **kwargs) → None[source]

Propagate the platform position using the transition_model.

Parameters:

timestamp (datetime.datetime, optional) – A timestamp signifying when the end of the maneuver (the default is None)

Notes

This methods updates the value of position.

Any provided kwargs are forwarded to the transition_model.

If timestamp` is None, the method has no effect, but will return successfully.

class stonesoup.movable.movable.MultiTransitionMovable(states: MutableSequence[State], position_mapping: Sequence[int], transition_models: Sequence[TransitionModel], transition_times: Sequence[timedelta], velocity_mapping: Sequence[int] | None = None)[source]

Bases: MovingMovable

Moving platform with multiple transition models

A list of transition models are given with corresponding transition times, dictating the movement behaviour of the platform for given durations.

Parameters:

  • states (collections.abc.MutableSequence) – A list of States which enables the platform’s history to be accessed in simulators and for plotting. Initiated as a state, for a static platform, this would usually contain its position coordinates in the form [x, y, z]. For a moving platform it would contain position and velocity interleaved: [x, vx, y, vy, z, vz]

  • position_mapping (collections.abc.Sequence) – Mapping between platform position and state vector. For a position-only 3d platform this might be [0, 1, 2]. For a position and velocity platform: [0, 2, 4]

  • transition_models (collections.abc.Sequence) – list of transition models

  • transition_times (collections.abc.Sequence) – Durations for each listed transition model

  • velocity_mapping (Optional[collections.abc.Sequence[int]], optional) – Mapping between platform velocity and state dims. If not set, it will default to [m+1 for m in position_mapping]

transition_models: Sequence[TransitionModel]

list of transition models

transition_times: Sequence[timedelta]

Durations for each listed transition model

property transition_model

Transition model

move(timestamp=None, noise=True, **kwargs) → None[source]

Propagate the platform position using the transition_model.

Parameters:

timestamp (datetime.datetime, optional) – A timestamp signifying the end of the maneuver (the default is None)

Notes

This methods updates the value of position.

Any provided kwargs are forwarded to the transition_model.

If transition_model or timestamp is None, the method has no effect, but will return successfully.

This method updates transition_model, transition_index and current_interval: If the timestamp provided gives a time delta greater than current_interval the transition_model is called for the rest of its corresponding duration, and the move method is called again on the next transition model (by incrementing transition_index) in transition_models with the residue time delta. If the time delta is less than current_interval the transition_model is called for that duration and current_interval is reduced accordingly.
