Let’s look at a typical example from Phil Kim’s book:
Now, here is the fun part. You learned the Kalman filter for robotics or control. But Phil Kim’s examples have a hidden power: they apply to everyday life.
What you learn in this example (from Kim’s book): Let’s look at a typical example from Phil
: Practical implementations for tracking objects, such as position and velocity estimation and tracking in images .
Read (UNC Chapel Hill) – also free, also has MATLAB examples, and is similarly beginner-friendly. What you learn in this example (from Kim’s
The EKF handles non-linearities by calculating a (a matrix of partial derivatives) at every time step. This linearizes the system around the current local estimate. It is the industry standard for aerospace and robotics navigation. Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)
: Linearizes nonlinear systems locally using partial derivatives (Jacobian matrices). It is widely used in aerospace and vehicle navigation. This linearizes the system around the current local estimate
