1D Kalman Filter

Let’s implement a to track a car moving at constant velocity. This guide provides a comprehensive introduction to the

% Process Noise Covariance (Q) % How much uncertainty is in the physical model? % Small Q = We trust the physics model perfectly. % Large Q = We expect the object to move unpredictably (acceleration). Q = [0.1 0; 0 0.1]; % Small Q = We trust the physics model perfectly

% ----- UPDATE STEP ----- z = measurements(k); % Current measurement y = z - H * x_pred; % Innovation (measurement residual) S = H * P_pred * H' + R; % Innovation covariance K = P_pred * H' / S; % Kalman Gain (the magic!) P_pred = A*P_est(i-1)*A' + Q

for i = 2:length(t) % Predict the state x_pred = A*x_est(i-1); P_pred = A*P_est(i-1)*A' + Q;

This is where the "magic" happens.
