Word examples:<br />

• Determination of planet orbit parameters from limited earth observations.<br />

• Tracking targets - eg aircraft, missiles using RADAR.<br />

• Robot Localisation and Map building from range sensors/ beacons.<br />

Why use the word “Filter”?<br />

The process of finding the “best estimate” from noisy data amounts to “filtering<br />

out” the noise.<br />

However a <strong>Kalman</strong> filter also doesn’t just clean up the data measurements, but<br />

also projects these measurements onto the state estimate.<br />
