This course is designed for graduate students and will provide a solid foundation for both the basic theory and practical application of Kalman filtering. Specific case studies are provided to illustrate the latter, including GPS navigation, integrated inertial navigation, precision navigation using GPS carrier-phase, spacecraft stellar-inertial attitude determination, spacecraft orbit determination, precision clock, and radar/laser target tracking. Lectures are further augmented by computer lab sessions using MATLAB to help participants develop insights through hands-on experience. |
