To give you a preview of the MATLAB examples highlighted in Phil Kim's book, here is a simple script demonstrating a 1D Kalman Filter estimating a constant voltage contaminated by severe measurement noise. end ( 14

Think of it as a smart algorithm that combines two sources of information to find the truth:

% Define system parameters A = [1 0; 0 1]; H = [1 0; 0 1]; Q = [0.1 0; 0 0.1]; R = [0.5 0; 0 0.5];

% Run Kalman filter x_est = zeros(size(t)); P_est = zeros(size(t)); for i = 1:length(t) if i == 1 x_pred = x0; P_pred = P0; else x_pred = A*x_est(:,i-1); P_pred = A*P_est(:,i-1)*A' + Q; end K = P_pred*H'/(H*P_pred*H' + R); x_corr = x_pred + K*(z(i) - H*x_pred); P_corr = (1 - K*H)*P_pred; x_est(:,i) = x_corr; P_est(:,i) = P_corr; end Found a better resource for MATLAB beginners

Because of its massive popularity among engineering circles, copies of the text are highly sought after.

If you’ve ever tried learning the Kalman filter from academic papers full of dense matrix math, you know the pain:

Corrects the prediction using the actual sensor measurement ( H = [1 0
