Hi,
can anyone enlighten me on kalman filter? the maths is overwhelming for me.
Thanks in advance!

Not necessarily. The equations of motion are linear, What is your measurement equation? Do you measure the x and y positions directly or do you measure angle and distance to some point?orochimaru said:my mobile robot may be moving in a straight line, could also rotate and also moving in an arc manner (in situation that it travels along a bend).
1. so is this a nonlinear system?
No problem, the filter estimates the components of velocity for you.2. i do not have the Vxk if it refers to the velocity.
Yes.3. i have a 1000 of points to track. is this implementable?
Each implementation of the Kalman filter depends on the dynamic and measurement equations, so I don't believe you could find an implemented filter that suits your application.btw, is there any such codes already available in the web? i haven't managed to find any on the web so far.
You're welcome.Thanks for the help.
A Kalman filter is an algorithm used to estimate the state of a dynamic system by combining noisy measurements with a mathematical model of the system. It is commonly used in engineering and science applications, such as navigation, control systems, and signal processing.
A Kalman filter works by predicting the state of a system using a mathematical model, and then combining that prediction with a noisy measurement of the system to produce a more accurate estimate of the state. This process is repeated continuously, with each new measurement updating the estimate and improving its accuracy.
One of the main benefits of using a Kalman filter is its ability to handle noisy measurements and produce accurate estimates of the state of a system. It also allows for real-time estimation and can be adapted to different types of systems and measurements.
A Kalman filter relies on having a good mathematical model of the system being estimated, so if the model is inaccurate, the estimates may also be inaccurate. It also assumes that the measurement noise is normally distributed, which may not always be the case.
While the concept of a Kalman filter may seem complex, there are many resources and tutorials available for learning and implementing it. With some basic knowledge of mathematics and programming, anyone can understand and use a Kalman filter for their own projects.
