Extended Kalman Filter/Evidence
Method evidence record

Extended Kalman Filter

The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is the nonlinear generalization of the Kalman Filter, extending the linear state estimation algorithm to nonlinear systems through local linearization. Developed by Bucy in the early 1960s, the EKF has become the workhorse for state estimation in nonlinear systems across robotics, aerospace, and navigation, enabling real-time processing of noisy measurements from nonlinear sensors and dynamics.
