You can use the kalman function to design this steady-state Kalman filter. This function determines the optimal steady-state filter gain M for a particular plant based on the process noise covariance Q and the sensor noise covariance R that you provide. For this example, use the following values for the state-space matrices of the plant.

To simulate this system, use a sumblk to create an input for the measurement noise v. Then, use connect to join sys and the Kalman filter together such that u is a shared input and the noisy plant output y feeds into the other filter input. The result is a simulation model with inputs w, v, and u and outputs yt (true response) and ye (the filtered or estimated response yˆ). The signals yt and ye are the outputs of the plant and the filter, respectively.
The time-varying Kalman filter has the following update equations. In the time-varying filter, both the error covariance P[n] and the innovation gain Mx[n] can vary with time. You can modify the time and measurement update equations to account for time variation as follows. (See kalman for more detail on these expressions.)
To create the time-varying Kalman filter, first, generate the noisy plant response. Simulate the plant response to the input signal u and process noise w defined previously. Then, add the measurement noise v to the simulated true response yt to obtain the noisy response y. In this example, the covariances of the noise vectors w and v do not change with time. However, you can use the same procedure for nonstationary noise.
Written for students and engineers, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the Kalman filter and its applications. The book starts with recursive filters and the basics of Kalman filters, and gradually expands to applications for nonlinear systems through extended and unscented Kalman filters. Topics include average filters, low-pass filters, estimation processes, and estimating velocity from position.
where is the state vector, is the measurements, is the process noise, and is the measurement noise. Kalman filter assumes that and are zero-mean, independent random variables with known variances , , and . Here, the A, G, and C matrices are:
The C matrix represents that only position measurements are available. A position sensor, such as GPS, provides these measurements at the sample rate of 1Hz. The variance of the measurement noise , the R matrix, is specified as . Since R is specified as a scalar, the Kalman filter block assumes that the matrix R is diagonal, its diagonals are 50 and is of compatible dimensions with y. If the measurement noise is Gaussian, R=50 corresponds to 68% of the position measurements being within or the actual position in the east and north directions. However, this assumption is not necessary for the Kalman filter.
The Kalman filter velocity estimates track the actual velocity trends correctly. The noise levels decrease when the vehicle is traveling at high velocities. This is in line with the design of the Q matrix. The large two spikes are at t=50s and t=200s. These are the times when the car goes through sudden deceleration and a sharp turn, respectively. The velocity changes at those instants are much larger than the predictions from the Kalman filter, which is based on its Q matrix input. After a few time-steps, the filter estimates catch up with the actual velocity.
This paper presents an application of the Kalman filter in signal processing in instrumentation systems when the conditions of the environment generate a large amount of interference for the acquisition of signals from measurement systems. The unwanted interferences make important use of the instrumentation system resources and do not represent useful information under any aspect. A simulation is presented using the Matlab tool, which remarkably facilitates the information processing so that the corresponding actions are taken according to the information obtained, taking advantage of the current resources offered by the embedded systems and the required measurements are obtained with enough accuracy.
Kalman filters are used in guidance, navigation, and control systems. These filters synthesize position & velocity signals in sensor fusion. This is achieved by fusing together GPS & IMU measurements (inertial measurement units). Kalman filters are commonly used in estimating the value of a signal which cannot be measured. For example, the temperature inside the aircraft engine or turbine, as temperature sensors would fail in such conditions. These filters are also used commonly along with LQR compensators (linear-quadratic-regulator) for LQG control(linear-quadratic-Gaussian).
Configuring the Kalman filter can be very challenging. Besides basic understanding of the Kalman filter, it often requires experimentation in order to come up with a set of suitable configuration parameters. The trackSingleObject function, defined above, helps you to explore the various configuration options offered by the configureKalmanFilter function.
Typically objects do not move with constant acceleration or constant velocity. You use the MotionNoise to specify the amount of deviation from the ideal motion model. When you increase the motion noise, the Kalman filter relies more heavily on the incoming measurements than on its internal state. Try experimenting with MotionNoise parameter to learn more about its effects.
The package provides a way for beginners to learn the Kalman filter by just editting the model parameters without the need to know the details of calculation. By looking into masked subsystems, you will also be albe to learn how it can be implemented in Simulink.
kalmanFilter = configureKalmanFilter(MotionModel,InitialLocation,InitialEstimateError,MotionNoise,MeasurementNoise) returns a vision.KalmanFilter objectconfigured to track a physical object. This object moves with constantvelocity or constant acceleration in an M-dimensionalCartesian space. The function determines the number of dimensions, M,from the length of the InitialLocation vector.
This function provides a simple approach for configuring the vision.KalmanFilter objectfor tracking a physical object in a Cartesian coordinate system. Thetracked object may move with either constant velocity or constantacceleration. The statistics are the same along all dimensions. Ifyou need to configure a Kalman filter with different assumptions,use the vision.KalmanFilter objectdirectly. 2ff7e9595c
