[docs]class ChernoffUpdater(Updater): r"""A class which performs state updates using the Chernoff fusion rule. In this context, measurements come in the form of states with a mean and covariance (compared to traditional measurements which contain solely a mean). The measurements are expected to come as :class:`~.GaussianDetection` objects. The Chernoff fusion rule is written as [#]_ .. math:: p_{\omega}(x_{k}) = \frac{p_{1}(x_{k})^{\omega}p_{2}(x_{k})^{1-\omega}} {\int p_{1}(x)^{\omega}p_{2}(x)^{1-\omega} \mathrm{d} x} where :math:`\omega` is a weighting parameter in the range :math:`(0,1]`, which can be found using an optimization algorithm. In situations where :math:`p_1(x)` and :math:`p_2(x)` are multivariate Gaussian distributions, the above formula is equal to the Covariance Intersection Algorithm from Julier et al [#]_. Let :math:`(a,A)` and :math:`(b,B)` be the means and covariances of the measurement and prediction respectively. The Covariance Intersection Algorithm was reformulated for use in Bayesian state estimation by Clark and Campbell [#]_, yielding formulas for the updated covariance and mean, :math:`D` and :math:`d`, and the innovation covariance matrix, :math:`V`, as follows: .. math:: D &= \left ( \omega A^{-1} + (1-\omega)B^{-1} \right )\\ d &= D \left ( \omega A^{-1}a + (1-\omega)B^{-1}b \right )\\ V &= \frac{A}{1-\omega} + \frac{B}{\omega} In filters where gating is required, the gating region can be written using the innovation covariance matrix as: .. math:: \mathcal{V}(\gamma) = \left\{ (a,A) : (a-b)^T V^{-1} (a-b) \leq \gamma \right\} The specifics for implementing the Covariance Intersection Algorithm in several popular multi-target tracking algorithms was expanded upon by Clark et al [#]_. The work includes a discussion of Stone Soup and can be used to apply this class to a tracking algorithm of choice. Note ---- If you have tracks that you would like to use as measurements for this updater, the :class:`~.Tracks2GaussianDetectionFeeder` class can be used to convert the tracks to the appropriate format.
