Input Arguments
state
— Current state
real-valued 3D-byN matrix
Current state for constant-acceleration motion, specified as a real-valued
3D-byN matrix.
D is the number of spatial degrees of freedom of
motion and N is the number states. For each spatial
degree of motion, the state vector, as a column of the
state
matrix, takes the form shown in this
table.
Spatial Dimensions | State Vector Structure |
---|---|
1-D | [x;vx;ax] |
2-D | [x;vx;ax;y;vy;ay] |
3-D | [x;vx;ax;y;vy;ay;z;vz;az] |
For example, x
represents the
x-coordinate, vx
represents the
velocity in the x-direction, and ax
represents the acceleration in the x-direction. If the
motion model is in one-dimensional space, the y- and
z-axes are assumed to be zero. If the motion model is
in two-dimensional space, values along the z-axis are
assumed to be zero. Position coordinates are in meters. Velocity coordinates
are in meters/second. Acceleration coordinates are in
meters/second2.
Example: [5;0.1;0.01;0;-0.2;-0.01;-3;0.05;0]

structure | array of structures
Measurement parameters, specified as a structure or an array of structures. This table lists the fields in the structure.
Field | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
Frame | Frame used to report measurements, specified as one of these values:
Tip In Simulink, when you create an object detection Bus, specify
| 'spherical' |
OriginPosition | Position offset of the origin of the frame relative to the parent frame, specified as an [x y z] real-valued vector. | [0 0 0] |
OriginVelocity | Velocity offset of the origin of the frame relative to the parent frame, specified as a [vx vy vz] real-valued vector. | [0 0 0] |

HasAzimuth | Logical scalar indicating if azimuth is included in the measurement. This
field is not relevant when the | 1 |
HasElevation | Logical scalar indicating if elevation information is included in the measurement. For
measurements reported in a rectangular frame, and if
HasElevation is false, the reported measurements assume 0
degrees of elevation. | 1 |
HasRange | Logical scalar indicating if range is included in the measurement. This
field is not relevant when the | 1 |
HasVelocity | Logical scalar indicating if the reported detections include velocity measurements. For a
measurement reported in the rectangular frame, if HasVelocity
is false , the measurements are reported as [x y
z] . If HasVelocity is true ,
the measurement is reported as [x y z vx vy vz] . For a
measurement reported in the spherical frame, if HasVelocity
is true , the measurement contains range-rate
information. | 1 |
IsParentToChild | Logical scalar indicating if Orientation performs a frame rotation from the parent coordinate frame to the child coordinate frame. When IsParentToChild is false , then Orientation performs a frame rotation from the child coordinate frame to the parent coordinate frame. | 0 |
If you want to perform only one coordinate transformation, such as a transformation from the body frame to the sensor frame, you must specify a measurement parameter structure. If you want to perform multiple coordinate transformations, you must specify an array of measurement parameter structures. To learn how to perform multiple transformations, see the Convert Detections to objectDetection Format (Sensor Fusion and Tracking Toolbox) example.

real-valued N-element row vector | real-valued M-by-N matrix
Measurement vector, returned as an N-element real-valued row vector or an M-by-N real-valued matrix. M, the size of each measurement, can vary depending on the syntax. For more information, see the following table. N, the number of measurements, is the same as the number of states. The format of the measurement vector depends on the syntax.
When you do not specify the
measurementParameters
argument and set theframe
argument to'rectangular'
, the function outputs measurement vectors in the format of[x;y;z]
.When you do not specify the
measurementParameters
argument and set theframe
argument to'spherical'
, the function outputs measurement vectors in the format of[az;el;r;rr]
.When you specify the
measurementParameters
argument and set theframe
field to'rectangular'
, the size of the measurement vector depends on the value of theHasVelocity
field in themeasurementParameters
structure. The measurement vector includes the Cartesian position and velocity coordinates of the tracked object with respect to the ego vehicle coordinate system.Rectangular Measurements

bounds
— Measurement residual wrapping bounds
real-valued two-element row vector | M-by-2 real-valued matrix
Measurement residual wrapping bounds, returned as a two-element real-valued row vector or an
M-by-2 real-valued matrix, where M is the size of each
measurement. Each row of the matrix corresponds to the lower and upper bounds, respectively,
of each measurement in the measurement
output.
The function returns different bound values based on the frame
input.
If you specify
frame
as'Rectangular'
, each row of the matrix is[-Inf Inf]
, indicating that the filter did not wrap the measurement residual.
If you specify
frame
as'Spherical'
, the function returns bounds for each measurement based on the following:When
HasAzimuth
=true
, the matrix includes a row of[-180 180]
, indicating that the filter wrapped the azimuth residual in the range of[-180 180]
in degrees.When
HasElevation
=true
, the matrix includes a row of[-90 90]
, indicating that the filter wrapped the elevation residual in the range of[-90 90]
in degrees.When
HasRange
=true
, the matrix includes a row of[-Inf Inf]
, indicating that the filter did not wrap the range residual.When
HasVelocity
=true
, the matrix includes a row of[-Inf Inf]
, indicating that the filter did not wrap the range rate residual.
If you set any of the fields to false
, the returned
bounds
do not contain the corresponding row. For example, if
HasAzimuth
= true
, HasElevation
=
false
, HasRange
= true
,
HasVelocity
= true
, then the function returns the
bounds as:
-180 180 -Inf Inf -Inf Inf
The filter wraps the measuring residuals based on this equation:
where x is the residual to wrap, a is the lower bound, b is the upper bound, mod is the remainder after division, and xwrap is the wrapped residual.

More About
Azimuth and Elevation Angle Definitions
The azimuth angle of a vector is the angle between the x-axis and its orthogonal projection onto the xy-plane. The angle is positive when going from the x-axis toward the y-axis. Azimuth angles lie between –180 and 180 degrees. The elevation angle is the angle between the vector and its orthogonal projection onto the xy-plane. The angle is positive when going toward the positive z-axis from the xy-plane.
