Kalman filter

The tranditional Kalman filter equation is as follows: x(n)=F x(n-1)+w(n) y(n)=H x(n)+v(n) And x(n) is called "state". If there are two states, x1(n) and x2(n), x1(n)=F1 x1(n-1)+w1(n) x2(n)=F2 x2(n-1)+w2(n) y(n)=H1 x1(n)+H2 x2(n)+v(n) Is it still the Kalman filter? How to make estimation? Or...

Norm of Covariance Matrix

Kalman Filter

I'm looking for a processor board that has build in A/D (3 channels) and 3 outputs for an inertial nav system. It will have a kalman filter on board (maybe 9 states at least but I will implement the steady- state Kalman filter no Ricatti equations). Also fixed gains for state feedback control. I...

kalman filter diverging?

Hi, I have implemented a discrete kalman filter which works well with the amount of data I have but the gain and the covariance estimate values seem to be increasing constantly and if I supply more data, I think I'll get a overflows in any precision of floating point I can use. The filter has t...

Kalman filter tutorial for the Dummy's dumber cousin?

I'm a veteran computer programmer with a Math background that came to a screeching halt at about the 1st semester of Calculus. However, I think I'm wasting time implementing filtering solutions that could be better served by a Kalman filter. Here's a recent example. I am interfacing with a Gy...

signals applied to a kalman filter or other estimator

Hello, I'm using a Kalman-filter for state estimation issues. My question is dealing with the signals that I apply to the filter. Let's think of an analog sensor with a changeable low-pass filter at its output. I could think of tuning the RC-elements to a bandwith of let's say 40 Hz or 400 ...

Kalman Filter applied to Rangefinding Data

I must be missing something. I passed 128 records of 1300 samples each (1300x128) through a Kalman Filter (This is basically a laser return signal - often times quite small- buried in solar noise generated by an APD - Avalanche Photo Diode) and the output appears as noisy as any one of the record i...

Kalman Filter - Possible Application

I've got a stationary robot (the master) which sends a sonar ping (4 times per second) to locate several mobile robots. The mobile robot(s), upon sensing the master's ping, sends a return ping. The mobile robots are usually from 10 to 40 feet from the master and move about at 2 to 3 miles ...

Kalman filtering with multiplicative noise

I'm trying to implement a Kalman filter in MATLAB that will use two types of measurements: volume and in/out flow rate. For the flow rate, the measurement error is additive Gaussian, but for the volume the measurement error is expressed as a percentage of the volume, so that the volume measurement i...
