Capability

Unified Tracking & State Continuity

Maintain one coherent state through change.

Evidence levelE1Architecture Defined

See Confidence Change

The functional gap

An object seen at one moment and an object seen a moment later are the same object only if something carries the state across. Without that, every update starts a new story.

From inputs to outputs

Takes in

  • Fused estimates over time
  • The previous state of each track
  • Rules for when a track may continue or must end

Does

Holds one state for each object across updates, carries it through short gaps and says so when a gap was bridged.

Hands on

  • One continuous track per object
  • Gaps marked where the state was carried
  • A clear end when a track is no longer supported

Observation field RD01Data status: IllustrativeEvidence level: E0 · ConceptQuestion answered: Where do observations arrive in this example?A soft field with sparse points stands for observations arriving over an area. It makes no claim about coverage or blind spots, and the points pulse at most three times, then rest.Limitation: The field is a drawn gradient, not a measured coverage area.

A worked example

Three steps from a synthetic scenario, in relative terms.

State over time CH01Data status: Synthetic dataEvidence level: E0 · ConceptQuestion answered: How did the state change over time?A stepped line follows one tracked state through ten time steps. It rises after a second source joins, holds through a short gap and settles at the last step.Limitation: Synthetic values in relative units. The shape shows how the chart reads, not a measured result.

Confidence and uncertainty in this function

Confidence in a track decays while it is carried through a gap and recovers only when new observations support it.

Evidence and maturity

This page claims nothing above the level of the projects it rests on.

Where it applies

What this does not claim

  • A continuous track is a statement about state, not about intent.
  • The page describes continuity rules, not tracking accuracy or capacity.
  • Two objects that cross paths may be confused; the design states that risk.
