What is the R matrix in Kalman filter?
R expresses how accurate your sensors are. Q is a measure of how accurate your model is - some dynamics are too complicated to be modelled and are assumed as process noise. By comparing your model predictions with real measurements you could estimate Q.
What is state matrix in Kalman filter?
The state transition matrix describes how your states propagate with time given an initial state. For a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI)system, this is a constant matrix. For example, assuming I have a 2-dimensional discrete-time LTI model given below: x(k+1) = x(k) ---- (1) y(k+1) = y(k) + 2x(k) ----- (2)
What is error covariance matrix in Kalman filter?
The Kalman Filter (KF) is a recursive scheme that propagates a current estimate of a state and the error covariance matrix of that state forward in time. The filter optimally blends the new information introduced by the measurements with old information embodied in the prior state with a Kalman gain matrix.
Is Kalman gain a matrix?
The Kalman filter gain arises in linear estimation and is associated with linear systems. The gain is a matrix through which the estimation and the prediction of the state as well as the corresponding estimation and prediction error covariance matrices are computed.
