This is a class implementation of a time-invariant measurement model, where measurements are assumed to be received in the form of bearing (\(\phi\)), range (\(r\)) and range-rate (\(\dot{r}\)), with Gaussian noise in each dimension.

The model is described by the following equations:

\[\vec{y}_t = h(\vec{x}_t, \vec{v}_t)\]

where:

• \(\vec{y}_t\) is a measurement vector of the form:

\[\begin{split}\vec{y}_t = \begin{bmatrix} \phi \\ r \\ \dot{r} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

• \(h\) is a non-linear model function of the form:

\[\begin{split}h(\vec{x}_t,\vec{v}_t) = \begin{bmatrix} atan2(\mathcal{y},\mathcal{x}) \\ \sqrt{\mathcal{x}^2 + \mathcal{y}^2} \\ (x\dot{x} + y\dot{y})/\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \end{bmatrix} + \vec{v}_t\end{split}\]

Bases: stonesoup.models.measurement.nonlinear.CartesianToElevationBearingRangeRate

This is a class implementation of a time-invariant measurement model, where measurements are assumed to be in the form of elevation (\(\theta\)), bearing (\(\phi\)), range (\(r\)) and range-rate (\(\dot{r}\)), with Gaussian noise in each dimension and the range and range-rate are binned based on the range resolution and range-rate resolution respectively.

The model is described by the following equations:

\[\vec{y}_t = h(\vec{x}_t, \vec{v}_t)\]

where:

• \(\vec{y}_t\) is a measurement vector of the form:

\[\begin{split}\vec{y}_t = \begin{bmatrix} \theta \\ \phi \\ r \\ \dot{r} \end{bmatrix}\end{split}\]

• \(h\) is a non-linear model function of the form:

\[\begin{split}h(\vec{x}_t,\vec{v}_t) = \begin{bmatrix} \textrm{asin}(\mathcal{z}/\sqrt{\mathcal{x}^2 + \mathcal{y}^2 +\mathcal{z}^2}) \\ \textrm{atan2}(\mathcal{y},\mathcal{x}) \\ \sqrt{\mathcal{x}^2 + \mathcal{y}^2 + \mathcal{z}^2} \\ (x\dot{x} + y\dot{y} + z\dot{z})/\sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \end{bmatrix} + \vec{v}_t\end{split}\]

The covariances for radar are determined by different factors. The angle error is affected by the radar beam width. Range error is affected by the SNR and pulse bandwidth. The error for the range rate is dependent on the dwell time. The range and range rate are binned to the centre of the cell using

\[x = \textrm{floor}(x/\Delta x)*\Delta x + \frac{\Delta x}{2}\]
