Can Kalman filter be used for forecasting?

It has been shown that the Kalman Filter is a viable forecasting technique.

What is position estimation?

Position estimation is the process which calculates object position with reference to some coordinate system.

What is state estimation Kalman filter?

The Kalman filter produces an estimate of the state of the system as an average of the system's predicted state and of the new measurement using a weighted average. The purpose of the weights is that values with better (i.e., smaller) estimated uncertainty are "trusted" more.

How is Kalman filter used for tracking?

In it, the Kalman filter is used to predict and update the location and velocity of an object given a video stream, and detections on each of the frames. At some point, we wanted to also account for the camera tilt and pan by adjusting the location of the object given the angles of movement.
