Kalman Filter for Signal Tracking/Evidence
Method evidence record

Kalman Filter for Signal Tracking

The Kalman filter is a recursive algorithm that optimally estimates the state of a linear dynamic system from noisy measurements, minimizing mean-square error. Introduced by Rudolf Kalman in 1960, it revolutionized control theory, navigation, and signal processing by enabling real-time optimal estimation for time-varying systems. The Kalman filter became indispensable for spacecraft tracking, GPS navigation, and countless modern applications.
