Detailed Documentation

In this article, we implement a comprehensive simulation of the Kalman filter method using MATLAB programming. The implementation involves generating original signal trajectories, simulating noisy observations, and demonstrating real-time tracking performance through plotted curves. We provide detailed explanations of Kalman filter concepts and algorithmic principles, including state-space modeling, prediction-correction cycles, and covariance matrix updates. The MATLAB code showcases key functions such as 'kalman' for filter initialization, 'filter' for recursive estimation, and customized plotting functions for visualization. Through hands-on code examples, beginners will gain practical understanding of Kalman filter fundamentals, including process noise handling, measurement updates, and optimal state estimation techniques. This tutorial establishes a solid foundation for further research and practical applications in signal processing and control systems.
