I'll sum up the video: "Just grab my hand and trust me, I'll show you the way to Kalman filter". Whereas my classes were more like "Just learn these equations, this is Kalman filter, trust me". Thank your Sir for making this concept very intuitive !

Thank you. My approach was to say, "Here are the basics of what the Kalman filter does, and here are the basic things you need to use it." Of course, if you want to know where the equations come from, a deeper dive into their derivation may be good. But not everyone needs that. For example, I can use differential equation solvers without knowing how they work -- and we do this routinely for simulations.

I am a very old man and this took me back 70 years ago, when I did both analogue and digital filters using the bilinear transformation to change the frequency domain to a circular one, for digital and switched filters. When I started all this, such along time ago, I used to recognise what a particular filter selects by plotting its Impulse function and then superimpose on it the signal that I want to investigate . Multiplying the two and integrating the product, the value of the Integral would be, how much of the signal is contained in the impulse function of the filter. For a low pass filter the Impulse response had to have a DC level plus an oscillation in it, decaying at a rate to decide the bandwidth. For a band pass filter the impulse response had to have a ringing at the frequency required to pass through and no DC.. For a high pass filter an impulse had to go right through, followed by an inverted version of a low pass filter whose area is equal to the initial impulse, and with a decay duration to decide the bandwidth For a band stop filter, I shall let the readers work out its impulse function! Many years ago I constructed three dimensional wooden models using toothpicks as impulses, to show the Laplace and the Convolution integrals of digital filters, The impulse looks like an exponential helix to chose the frequency and its exponential decay to chose the bandwidth. I still got them both. I should write a book showing how filters should be analysed in three dimensions and use three dimensional signals as V.e^( R+jw)t showing the real, imaginary and time axis. I always found it easier to start with analogue filters, as Butterworth and Chebyshev filter versions, then go to FFR then IIR , and then go to the Kalman filter. and other running filters. Congratulations for your video. Thank you for stirring and jolting my memories of my many years in UK, as a poor man, making ends meet with the little money I had to live on, but very rich in signal processing techniques, as used in communications and automatic state control systems, Thank you Oh, I had no computers to work with in those days and it was all hard ware, When about 50 years ago I had my first home computer I cried when, all I did with filters and signal processing, in both analogue and digital filters, for many years, I wrote in software in a 10 line program! . I also did N- path filters, switch8ing multiple low pass filters to obtain a band pass transfer function. Good old days, I do not think I would like to go back to those days, of so much dedication and concentration to this work, before I got married and had my own family. Sir, may I quote and modify what you said in one comment below, as it also applies to me, " I am just a very old man, who stood on the shoulders of giants and two great parents, and assisted by the company of a good wife for 60 years and children and grandchildren, and six great brothers and sisters and friends and a lot of luck in having good health.."

The recursive filter is just so useful, easy to use and quite light on system resources. I first learned it as 'Exponential Averaging' in the 1980's from an Analog Devices Application Note. I have used it in countless projects since. It simulates a simple RC filter in hardware terms (something that I also use on every project - RC Filters). Well done explanation. :-)

Best Explanation of Kalman Filter with Examples so far. Problem 1: We are trying to measure velocity from the Acceleration sensor no luck so far. All we see is noise and shock from these results. We are moving in fluid with different flows from the pumps and we have restrictions at each collar, and we have a plug that travels in the fluid hoping to see acceleration in those restrictions. We do have magnetics at each location to help out in the sensor fusion calculation. Setting up the Kalman filter in Matlab was the easy part. Tuning the filter is another story. The goal is to go to a position along this path as a function of time and velocity. Finding distance is the goal. Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks for watching. But sorry, I don't have any good ideas. It's basically a 'dead reckoning' problem, trying to go from acceleration to velocity (and then position). It may depend on the space-time scale of the problem. For example, I'd like to try measuring acceleration while I'm in a car, starting from rest at point A and going to another location, B (say, work), and see if I can reconstruct my trip's position. The accuracy might depend on the accuracy of the accelerometer, the sampling rate, and the rate at which accelerations in time and space occur while driving. All of this would be different depending on the application. Sounds like you have some good ideas with sensor fusion. If you have locations where you expect the acceleration to drop to low values or increase to high values, those could be used as known 'waypoints' used to double-check the accuracy of your algorithm.

@phillip... If you have so much noise that you can't filter it properly you may have a fundamental issue with your measurement system. i.e. "You can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear" problem. If you are using acceleration to get velocity you are (I think) integrating the signal. That in itself should add smoothing if done properly. One thing you might try is to oversample the signal (sample at a faster rate) and then you have more points to filter from. Also it is important to study the signal frequency components (spectrum) to make sure that there are no aliased signals folding back to baseband. As this will make any signal analysis very confusing. Oversampling will help with this also as it is easier to build the antialias filters from you sensor. Hope this helps. :-)

Great video! I really like the pacing. I noticed at 11:58 you mentioned that the noise was uniformly distributed, but I think you meant normally distributed with standard deviation of 4? randn.m is ~N(0,I) while rand.m is the uniform distribution for the range [0,1].

@@ProfessorRoss I have been wanting to understand kalman filters for so long but every textbook or professor goes math heavy where they don't even care to explain what part of it is a scalar and what part of it is a matrix and they just assume you know a bunch of things already. I really loved how you compared the low pass filter with the kalman filter to explain everything it was like watching gold being extracted from it's ore. Too good.

One minor error here at around 11:00. The Matlab randn() function gives a zero mean Gaussian distributed random number with a variance of 1. So 4*randn() is not bounded within [-4, 4], only that the standard deviation will be 4. If you want uniformly distributed noise between -4 and 4, you can use something like 8*rand - 4. In the context of Kalman filter, however, randn() is more appropriate.

@@PannagaSudarshan I think it's because the most recent data should be the best indication of the most recent state of the system (which is what we're trying to estimate as best we can). Since we care about the current state, and even though our measurements are noisy, the data from 1 second ago is more indicative of the current state than data from 1 minute ago, and data from 1 minute ago is better than data from 10 minutes ago, etc.
