KFTool, Kalman Filtering Software

M-KFTOOL is a library of MATLAB m-file modules and main programs used for the implementation of discrete Kalman filtering applications. M-KFTOOL enables you to simulate a specific discrete Kalman filtering application quickly and easily without the need to code and test the basic Kalman filtering algorithms.

Due to the fact that this software tool is primarily addressed to a practicing engineer, effort was made to implement the most efficient algorithms available in the technical literature. Both discrete conventional and U-D form Kalman filter formulations are included. When appropriate, more than one module performs the same mathematical computation by using different methods, so you can select the approach that best meets your specific requirements.

The MATLAB ® Kalman Filtering Software Toolbox contains numerous main programs that can be modified to fit specific application needs. Once the model of the application is derived or selected, the practitioner can use the software library to implement and test the validity of the proposed GPS application.

All m-files are compatible with MATLAB version 5.0 and higher, and most of them are also compatible with previous versions and Student Edition of MATLAB.

A complete (more than 150-pages) user's guide and reference manual contains detailed documentation for each module/program included in the library.

There are numerous fully explained examples (about 40 pages) with input and output data, and generated plots; also a special chapter with discrete Kalman filtering applications is included.

The major building functions of the M-KFTOOL are divided in the following categories:
- Matrix storage and allocation
- Specialized matrix operation
- Specialized statistics functions and utilities
- Specialized plotting programs
- General purpose and conventional Kalman filtering functions
- Specialized U-D Kalman filtering functions
- Application dependent modules
- GPS application modules

For a complete list of the modules and main programs included consult the file contents HERE Overall, there are about 100 m-files (modules and main programs), and more than 70 input and output data files.

The MATLAB source code is royalty free. The user can incorporate this software in his/her particular application but is not permitted to resell the software as is or with changes.

Here is a summary of the most significant features of M-KF Toolbox software:
- all m-file modules and programs are written in MATLAB environment

- all m-file modules are free of input/output statements (except, of course, for those utilities that require printed output/graph, if any)

- all m-file modules are provided with detailed documentation, including scope, usage, description of parameters, remarks/notes, references, external MATLAB macros/ modules used, and date of last update

- all main programs are provided with input/output reference data, and several detailed examples are given

- flexibility, user-friendly, and open-ended strategy. An open-ended strategy was followed which means that the user can either complement the GPS Toolbox services with his own functions or, alternatively, use GPS Toolbox functions as add-ons in conjunction with other libraries.
