Overview

This one-day course is aimed at introducing Kalman Filter algorithm and implementation as an observer and parameter estimation. This is particular useful when one consider the modelling of linear and/or nonlinear control systems. Kalman filter is an efficient recursive filter that is capable to estimate a state from a series of measurement of the other states of a linear dynamic system. In order for parameter or state estimation of a nonlinear system, extended Kalman filter is used for this application and this is covered in this course.

The Kalman Filter and Extended Kalman Filter theory and practical applications are presented. Significant hands-on examples are used to reinforce the lecture.
