Polar Plotting #796

Create polar plots using plotly like this

gawebb-dstl commented 1 year ago
  • It needs a cover image putting in.

I think this will be done automatically by read the docs

  • It probably needs to show tracks being plotted, since currently the example shows only ground truth and detections but there is functionality in the source code for track plotting.

There is PR in the pipeline to do tracking in angular state space. That will give us angle tracks. In that PR I'll update this example.

  • The polar plots themselves could do with some more description in the titles. While polar plots look really cool, I personally have to concentrate quite hard to understand the information they're showing. Better descriptions would help a lot with that.

Agreed. I'll update the branch with that

  • The scenario has 2 targets in 3D moving in all 3 dimensions, but the static plot only shows 2 dimensions.

I'll update the example to put the scenario in 2D

  • Could potentially get a 2D animated plotter in there as well? I tried to add this but it hasn't got functionality to automatically plot moving platforms. But an animation of some sort would give a lot of intuition as to how the targets are moving.

I may look into this for a later PR
