Kalman Filter - Theory and Hybridation

Objectives

Present the concept of Kalman Filter as a particular and efficient application of the Least Mean Square error Concept in the Signal Theory. Numerous use of this linear filtering technique could be explored, but the navigation solution in the context of Global Navigation Satellite System will stay the main illustration. Some others examples in Surveillance and in Navigation for positioning an aircraft will be explained. The lecturers will also insist on the possibilities of utilization of merging various sources of measurement (multi-sensor systems).
