Progress Trackers Manually: Option C

Open gawebb-dstl opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

All current trackers require a detection feeder. It can be useful to progress a tracker manually without a detection feeder (see Multi-Sensor Fusion: Covariance Intersection Using Tracks as Measurements example).

All current trackers and start their __next__ function with:

time, detections = next(self.detector_iter)
# Some tracking logic

I've moved this line to the new Tracker baseclass and added an update_tracker function which takes the time and detections from the detection feeder as an input. With this being a separate function, you can access it directly and bypass the detection feeder which may be easier in instances.

This also fixes issue #883

This is my third iteration of trying to get this right. See #742 and #779 for previous implementations.
