Kalman Filtering: A Practical Approach

Kalman Filtering is a powerful mathematical technique used in various fields for state estimation and signal processing in the presence of noise. In electrical engineering, Kalman filtering finds extensive application in areas such as control systems, navigation, communication, and signal processing. Centrally, Kalman filtering is designed to provide accurate estimates of the true state of a dynamic system by combining information from noisy sensor measurements with a mathematical model of the system's behavior. This is particularly useful in scenarios where direct measurement of the state variables is either impossible or impractical due to limitations such as sensor noise, measurement errors, or incomplete information. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of Kalman filtering. It presents the complex subject of Kalman filtering in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
