I’m taking this course in Q3 during my first year at Twente. The aim is to learn how to design optimal estimators that can uncover the time-dependent states of a dynamic system. It includes state-of-the-art architectures

  • Kalman Filter for linear and Gaussian systems
  • Extended Kalman Filter for near-linear and near-Gaussian systems
  • Particle Filter for non-linear and non-Gaussian systems

The accent of the course is on the utilization aspects, not on a mathematically rigorous treatment of the topic. One of the challenges addressed in the course is how to bring theoretical concepts to a practical solution.

Topics covered so far

Sadly, we use MATLAB.
