Introduction

• Kalman filter is an algorithm that uses a series of

data observed over time, which contains noise and
other inaccuracies, to estimate unknown variable
EN5101 Digital Control Systems accurately.
• It was proposed by R E Kalman in 1960, and became
Kalman Filter a standard approach for optimal estimation
• KF is a real-time, recursive, efficient estimation
algorithm in standard (KF), extended (EKF), an
