As the final course in the Applied Kalman Filtering specialization, you will learn how to develop the particle filter for solving strongly nonlinear state-estimation problems. You will learn about the Monte-Carlo integration and the importance density. You will see how to derive the sequential importance sampling method to estimate the posterior probability density function of a system’s state. You will encounter the degeneracy problem for this method and learn how to solve it via resampling. You will learn how to implement a robust particle-filter in Octave code and will apply it to an indoor-navigation problem.
