Target Tracking Analysis for Stone Soup
Erik Blasch, Ruixin Niu, Sean M. O’Rourke · 2020
The International Society of Information Fusion (ISIF) Stone Soup project seeks to bring together advances in target tracking through an open-source repository of software libraries. Additionally, the ISIF uncertainty reasoning working group provides an open-source ontology. This paper seeks to demonstrate the correspondence between the open source tracking repository and the Uncertainty Representation and Reasoning Evaluation Framework (URREF) ontology. For example, many target tracking challenge problems propose a scenario for data fusion techniques to solve, from which various performance metrics are considered for evaluation. The Stone Soup framework has the MetricGenerator class and the URREF has the accuracy class. The example presented in the paper utilizes the cubature Kalman filter to determine the impact of corrupted measurements on the track accuracy as an instance of the Stone Soup and URREF metrics.
