Abstract

Python State Estimation and Modeling Library, pystemlib, is a library that implements Bayesian State Estimation theory for modeling and tracking target objects. This library was developed to overcome the limitations associated with licensed programming languages as well as imperative and numerical matrix-based programming styles that were used in previously developed libraries. pystemlib incorporates object-oriented, functional, and symbolic programming to develop accurate and easy-to-use tracking filters and models. This library is also capable of mapping state estimation results onto the geographical areas to which they correspond. Future work on this library will include optimizing the algorithms for speed and extending the library to incorporate multi-target tracking, data fusion, and image and video processing.
