– 1D tracking
– 2D tracking
2. 2
Example: Navigation Problem
• Truck on “frictionless” straight rails
• Initial position X0 = 0
• Movement is buffeted by random accelerations
• We measure the position every ∆t seconds
• State variables (Xk, Vk) position and velocity at time k∆t
Xk = Xk−1 + Vk−1∆t + ak−1∆t2
/2
Vk = Vk−1 + ak−1∆t
where ak−1 is a random acceleration
• Observations
Yk = Xk + Zk
where Zk is a noise term.
The goal is to estimate the position and velocity at all times.
3. 3
General Setup
Estimation of a stochastic dynamic system
• Dynamics
Xk = Fk−1Xk−1 + Bk−1uk−1 + Wk−1
– Xk: state of the system at time k
– uk−1: control-input
– Wk−1: noise
• Observations
Yk = HkXk + Zk
– Yk is observed
– Zk is noise
• The noise realizations are all independent
• Goal: predict state Xk from past data Y0, Y1, . . . , Yk−1.
4. 4
Derivation
Derivation in the simpler model where the dynamics is of the form
Xk = ak−1Xk−1 + Wk−1
and the observations
Yk = Xk + Zk
The objective is to find, for each time k, the minimum MSE filter based on
Y0, Y1, . . . , Yk−1
ˆXk =
k
j=1
h
(k−1)
j Yk−j
To find the filter, we apply the orthogonality principle
E((Xk −
k
j=1
h
(k−1)
j Yk−j)Y ) = 0, = 0, 1, . . . , k − 1.
5. 5
Recursion
The beautiful thing about the Kalman filter is that one can almost deduce the
optimal filter to predict Xk+1 from that predicting Xk.

(k)
j+1 = (ak − h
(k)
1 )h
(k−1)
j , j = 1, . . . , k.
Given the filter h(k−1)
, we only need to find h
(k)
1 to get the filter at the next
time step.
6. 6
How to find h

Observe that the next prediction is equal to
ˆXk+1 = h

ˆXk + h

Interpretation
ˆXk+1 = ak
ˆXk + h
(k)
1 Ik
• ak
ˆXk is the prediction based on the estimate at time k
• h
(k)
1 Ik is a corrective term which is available since we now see Yk
– h
(k)
1 is called the gain
– Ik = Yk − ˆXk is called the innovation
7. 7
Error of Prediction
To find h
(k)
1 , we look at the error of prediction
k = Xk − ˆXk
We have the recursion
k+1 = (ak − h
(k)
1 ) k + Wk − h
(k)
1 Zk
• 0 = Z0
• E( k) = 0
• E( 2
k+1) = [ak − h
(k)

E( 2
k) + E(W 2
k ) + [h
(k)
1 ]2
E(Z2
k)
8. 8
To minimize the MSE k+1, we adjust h
(k)
1 so that
∂h
(k)

E( 2
k+1) = 0 = −2(ak − h
(k)
1 )E( 2
k) + 2h
(k)
1 E(Z2
k)
which is given by
h
(k)
1 =
akE( 2
k)
E( 2
k) + E(Z2
k)
Note that this gives the recurrence relation
E( 2
k+1) = ak(ak − h
(k)
1 )E( 2
k) + E(W 2
k )

The Kalman Filter Algorithm
• Initialization ˆX0 = 0, E( 2
0) = E(Z2
0 )
• Loop: for k = 0, 1, . . .

General Formulation
Xk = Fk−1Xk−1 + Wk−1
Yk = HkXk + Zk
The covariance of Wk is Qk and that of Zk is Rk.
Two variables:
• ˆXk|k estimate of the state at time k based upon Y0, . . . , Yk−1
• Ek|k error covariance matrix, Ek|k = Cov(Xk − ˆXk|k)

Estimating Constant Voltage
We wish to estimate some voltage which is almost constant except for some
small random fluctuations. Our measuring device is imperfect (e.g. because of
a poor A/D conversion). The process is governed by:
Xk = X0 + Wk, k = 1, 2, . . .
with X0 = 0.5V , and the measurements are
Zk = Xk + Vk, k = 1, 2, . . .
where Wk, Vk are uncorrelated Gaussian white noise processes, with
R := Var(Vk) = 0.01, Var(Wk) = 10−5
.

1D Tracking
Estimation of the position of a vehicle.
Let X be a state variable (position and speed), and A is a transition matrix
A =
1 ∆t
0 1
.
The process is governed by:
Xn+1 = AXn + Wn
where Wn is a zero-mean Gaussian white noise process. The observation is
Yn = CXn + Zn
where the matrix C only picks up the position and Zn is another zero-mean
Gaussian white noise process independent of Wn.
