% --- Noise Covariances --- process_noise_acceleration_variance = 0.1; % How much we expect velocity to change Q = [dt^4/4, dt^3/2; dt^3/2, dt^2] * process_noise_acceleration_variance; measurement_noise_variance = 10; % Standard deviation of 3.16m R = measurement_noise_variance;

). However, our voltmeter introduces high-frequency random noise.

This is where the "magic" happens.

The filter receives new, noisy data from a sensor and "corrects" its prediction.

You can download the MATLAB code used in this example from the following link: If you have the , you can alternatively

The filter operates in a continuous, two-step loop: and Update .

If you have the , you can alternatively explore native functions like kalman() for continuous and discrete-time systems. However, writing the loop explicitly (as shown above) provides the best conceptual foundation for beginners.

Your GPS signal drops out, and your speedometer is slightly inaccurate. Try again later.

% --- CORRECTION STEP (Using the measurement) --- z = measurements(k); % Current measurement y = z - H * x_pred; % Innovation (measurement residual) S = H * P_pred * H' + R; % Innovation covariance K = P_pred * H' / S; % Kalman Gain

The Kalman filter finds the by balancing the trust between the sensor measurement and the system model. 2. The Kalman Filter Process: Predict and Update
