Physical spline for denoising object trajectory data by combining splines, ML feature regression and model knowledge
Jonas Torzewski
This article presents a method for estimating the dynamic driving states (position, velocity, acceleration and heading) from noisy measurement data. The proposed approach is effective with both complete and partial observations, producing refined trajectory signals with kinematic consistency, ensuring that velocity is the integral of acceleration and position is the integral of velocity. Additionally, the method accounts for the constraint that vehicles can only move in the direction of their orientation. The method is implemented as a configurable python library that also enables trajectory estimation solely based on position data. Regularization is applied to prevent extreme state variations. A key application is enhancing recorded trajectory data for use as reference inputs in machine learning models. At the end, the article presents the results of the method along with a comparison to ground truth data.
