Why take this course?

You need to learn know Data Fusion and Kalman Filtering!

The Kalman filter is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of estimation and data fusion theory, and perhaps one of the greatest engineering discoveries in the twentieth century. It has enabled mankind to do and build many things which could not be possible otherwise. It has immediate application in control of complex dynamic systems such as cars, aircraft, ships and spacecraft.

These concepts are used extensively in engineering and manufacturing but they are also used in many other areas such as chemistry, biology, finance, economics, and so on.

Why focus on Data Fusion and Kalman Filtering

  • Data Fusion is an amazing tool that is used pretty much in every modern piece of technology that involves any kind of sensing, measurement or automation.

  • The Kalman Filter is one of the most widely used methods for data fusion. By understanding this process you will more easily understand more complicated methods.

  • Difficult for beginners to comprehend how the filter works and how to apply the concepts in practice.

  • Evaluating and tuning the Kalman Filter for best performance can be a bit of a 'black art', we will give you tips and a structure so you know how to do this yourself.

  • So you don’t waste time trying to solve or debug problems that would be easily avoided with this knowledge! Become a Subject Matter Expert!

What you will learn:

You will learn the theory from ground up, so you can completely understand how it works and the implications things have on the end result. You will also learn practical implementation of the techniques, so you know how to put the theory into practice.

We will cover:

  • Basic Probability and Random Variables

  • Dynamic Systems and State Space Representations

  • Least Squares Estimation

  • Linear Kalman Filtering

  • Covers theory, implementation, use cases

  • Theory explanation and analysis using Python and Simulations

By the end of this course you will know:

  • How to probabilistically express uncertainty using probability distributions

  • How to convert differential systems into a state space representation

  • How to simulate and describe state space dynamic systems

  • How to use Least Squares Estimation to solve estimation problems

  • How to use the Linear Kalman Filter to solve optimal estimation problems

  • How to derive the system matrices for the Kalman Filter in general for any problem

  • How to optimally tune the Linear Kalman Filter for best performance

  • How to implement the Linear Kalman Filter in Python

Who is this course for:

  • University students or independent learners.

  • Working Engineers and Scientists.

  • Engineering professionals who wants to brush up on the math theory and skills related to Data Fusion and Kalman filtering.

  • Software Developers who wish to understand the basic concepts behind data fusion to aid in implementation or support of developing data fusion code.

  • Anyone already proficient with the math “in theory” and want to learn how to implement the theory in code.

So what are you waiting for??

I hope to see you soon in the course!

Great, almost completed the course in one day and I think you made a great job arriving quickly to the main points, skipping derivations at the right time and going through them at the right time as well. I would however appreciate if you would add compeniums/notes on for instance derivation/explanation of matrix exponential. Some appendix/explanation on the linear algebra nessecary, hence branch out from the reoccuring quadratic forms and go into their correspnding shapes and how to see positive definiteness. Some theorms which you prove that allow us to quicky determine diagonalizeability. I think with that, this course would be considered to not only be practical and fast paced but also deep in every right.

I am totally new to this topic. Variable notations are very confusing and not descriptive. Often they go against standard physics notations. Had to constantly refer to note with matrix definitions. Definitely not the course one can simply skim through.

The built in code segments in the LSE section were not great. Not being able to debug properly, or see what the test cases were, or see what the correct solutions were was just a mess. Otherwise, great course!

The course is well explained from the start and the two simulation project at the end help to understand the pratical use of the theory. In the two final project i think that the best part is the easy and understandable way to explain how to read the graph to adjust the filter. For the new student, in the 3 Least Square Estimation exercise... just do it outside of the udemy "assisted" testing enviroment and copy paste the final working code, it save time and sanity.

The course level was amazing, everything was explained and proved with the required math. Should be good one curse about Extended Kalman Filter and other about Unscented Kalman Filter

Really brilliant introduction to LKF with excellent Python examples. The examples have definitely enabled a deeper understanding of Kalman Filters & their application.

Great course, the content is quality and straight to the point. I appreciate the part that equations were all derived and explained. This course definitely demands working knowledge of some linear algebra and calculus, though not too extreme.

the teacher gives very clear and concise learning process in understanding Kalman Filter by introducing a series of prior estimation methods. In order to understand fully, practical python is introduced to deepen the understanding of it. But as a student, you have to find out proactively for any prior knowledge that you may lack to take up this course. You are required to understand matrix and read out relevant material if you feel unsure.

Outstanding course! Love the incorporation of the explanations about the model, the performance, and tuning. I will be applying this to real-life problems!

There seems to be a few issues with the coding problems where it marks your correct answers as incorrect, but otherwise the information is solid and explained well. Would recommend.

Great course with lots of information and useful practicals. The pace at the beginning was quite slow and then suddenly jumped to some quite complex concepts. A more gradual increase in difficulty would really help guide the learner.

2 dimensional tracking example is quite good. Matlab codes of all examples can be added to course. So students can make assigments either Matlab or Python.

I wish to have seen a real multi-sensors fusion implementation case study. Otherwise, the course is extremely useful and recommended to anyone interested in the subject
