Same synthetic world. Same observations. Two configurations.
The central visualization now compares the untuned baseline and T&E-selected tracker side by side. Both panels receive exactly the same truth trajectories, measurement noise, dropouts, latency, and clutter. Under easy conditions they look similar. Under mixed stress, the performance gap becomes visually obvious.
Configuration selection happens before the held-out stress set is scored.
The revised benchmark uses an actual 72-configuration sweep across 120 deterministic calibration trials. A robustness score selects one configuration. That configuration is then frozen and evaluated, together with the fixed baseline, on a separate 120-trial stress set.
lower held-out RMSE
Mean position error for confirmed tracks across unseen stress trials.
held-out continuity
Fraction of object-frame opportunities covered by a confirmed estimate.
faster confirmation
Reduction in mean time needed to establish a confirmed track.
objects ever confirmed
Fraction of held-out synthetic objects reaching confirmed-track state at least once.
Calibration RMSE by smoothing gain and association gate
β = 0.05 and confirmation count = 2 are held fixed here for readability. Lower is better. The glowing cell is the selected region.
Selected configuration under combined noise + dropout
Each cell shows RMSE / continuity from 100 deterministic trials with Pd=90%, latency=2, and clutter=2/frame.
Run 100 lightweight deterministic stress trials
Same 120 unseen stress trials, two frozen configurations.
| Metric | Untuned baseline | T&E-selected |
|---|---|---|
| Position RMSE | 20.77 | 5.49 |
| Track continuity | 82.9% | 97.4% |
| Mean confirmation latency | 25.55 | 2.20 |
| Objects ever confirmed | 95.2% | 100% |
Frozen before held-out evaluation
- α = 0.55 measurement-position correction.
- β = 0.05 velocity correction.
- Association gate = 24 synthetic position units.
- Confirmation count = 2 consistent observations.
- Maximum unobserved persistence = 6 frames before track deletion.
- The baseline uses a simple position smoother, gate 15, confirmation count 3, and two-frame persistence.
Model. Stress. Compare. Measure. Validate.
Digital-twin scenario
Define truth trajectories, object populations, scenario geometry, and sensor-observation abstractions.
Uncertainty injection
Control detection probability, measurement noise, latency, dropout, clutter, and scenario density.
Same-input systems
Feed identical observations to baseline and candidate configurations so differences are attributable to the system under test.
Performance instrumentation
Calculate continuity, position error, confirmation latency, track persistence, and stress sensitivity.
Hold-out evaluation
Freeze selected settings and test them on disjoint stress cases before reporting generalization.
A credible digital-twin lab should reveal boundaries, not just averages.
Where does the system break?
Map continuity and error as sensing becomes noisier, delayed, less available, or more cluttered.
Which parameters matter?
Use controlled sweeps to identify sensitivity to association gates, confirmation requirements, and filter gains.
Does tuning generalize?
Evaluate selected settings on disjoint held-out stress trials instead of reporting the tuning set.
What is the operating envelope?
Quantify the range of uncertainty over which continuity and error remain acceptable.
What should move to physical testing?
Use simulation to identify boundary cases that justify scarce hardware, facility, or field-test resources.
Can every run be reproduced?
Preserve test IDs, seeds, configurations, stress settings, and evaluation partitions.
The methodology is reusable across sensing, autonomy, and monitoring problems.
