About this course:
This course is a highly intensive short course on Kalman
filtering and
Kalman filtering applications. Emphasis in the course is on
practical
applications, but sufficient supporting theory is provided to
give attendees
the necessary tools for meaningful research and development work
in the
field. Considerable time is devoted to modeling, the most
difficult aspect
of Kalman filtering, in an application setting.
There will be a high level of instructor/attendee interaction,
designed to
provide hands-on problem solving and solution discussions. The
learning
experience will also be supplemented by homework assignments to
assist
attendees in improving their understanding of course concepts.
