EGNIYA EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator User Guide - Chap1-Introduction

1. CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1. What is EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, is a compact, user-friendly and powerful multipurpose engineering
tool with target tracking data generation and motion modeling functionalities capable of operating in 2D
and 3D Cartesian Coordinates, in Range-Azimuth, Range-Elevation, Azimuth-Elevation Polar
Coordinates.

2. 2 Chapter 1 Introduction
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator currently supports two project types which are
 Target Tracking Projects (TTP)
 Motion Modeling Projects (MMP)
By Motion Modeling Projects (MMP), motions are modeled and paths forming a trajectory are created in
Cartesian domain or polar domain. By Target Tracking Projects (TTP), target tracking data generation for
more than one target with different activation and initial position offsets are created under user selected
sensor measurement and missing data conditions.
Both Motion Modeling Projects (MMP) and Target Tracking Projects (TTP) can be created;
 In 2D Cartesian Coordinates
 In 3D Cartesian Coordinates
 In Polar Coordinates (Range-Azimuth)
 In Polar Coordinates (Range-Elevation)
 In Polar Coordinates (Azimuth-Elevation)
and with planned extensions
 In Spherical Coordinates
 In GPS Framework (Latitude-Longitude-Altitude)

3. 3
Motion Modeling Projects (MMP) consists of mainly six basic stages;
 Selecting Project Type
 Defining Path Creation Method
 Defining and Modeling the Paths
 Configuration Check
 Animated or Static Trajectory Viewer Graphical Outputs
 Combining Paths in Any Order to Create Final Trajectory
which are all detailed in Chapter 4, Motion Modeling Projects. Similarly, Target Tracking Projects (TTP)
consistsof mainly six basic stages;
 Selecting Project Type
 Defining and Configuring Targets
 Defining Sensor Measurement Models and Missing Data Models
 Defining Trajectories, Trajectory Generating Functionals or Combining Paths forming
the Trajectory
 Configuration Check
 Simulation Supported with Animated or Static SimPanel Graphical Outputs
which are all detailed in Chapter 5, Target Tracking Projects

4. 4 Chapter 1 Introduction
Apart from creating and working with Motion Modeling and Target Tracking Projects, EMA3100A
Target Motion Simulator provides some standalone tools (without a need for project creation) which are
 Path Modeler
 Path Combiner
 Trajectory Viewer
 SM Modeler
 MD Modeler
detailed in Chapter 6, Using EMA3100A TMS Tools.
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, Path Modeler is the tool for modeling the paths by using one of the
methods
 By Known Functions and SPToM
 By TOP and SPToM
 By SOP and SPToM
 By V Vectors and SPToM
 By A Vectors and SPToM

5. 5
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, Path Combiner is the tool for combining paths created previously
or format converted external path files

6. 6 Chapter 1 Introduction
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, Trajectory Viewer is the tool for viewing and analyzing individual
paths or combined paths as trajectories
EMA3100A Target Motion Simulator, Sensor Measurement Modeler is the tool for generating sensor
measurement models by using currently available
 Beta
 Cauchy
 Chi-Square
 Erlang
 Exponential
 Gamma
 Gaussian
 Laplace
 Lognormal
 Uniform
 Weibull
distributions and second order characterizations along with time frame models.
