Detailed Documentation

This article introduces an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm grounded in motion modeling—a nonlinear state-space approach that approximates optimal estimation. The algorithm finds extensive applications across robotics, autonomous vehicles, aerospace systems, and financial modeling. Rooted in Bayesian filtering theory, the EKF enhances state estimation accuracy by fusing multisensor measurements while maintaining robustness under significant noise and uncertainty. Implementation typically involves two recursive stages: a prediction step using system dynamics (e.g., motion equations) to propagate state and covariance, followed by a linearized update step that incorporates sensor data via Jacobian matrices. Key functions include state transition modeling, covariance propagation, and innovation calculation for real-time correction. This combination of theoretical rigor and practical adaptability makes the EKF a powerful tool with broad implementation potential.
