TK8102 - Nonlinear State Estimation

About

Lessons are not given in the academic year 2024/2025

Course content

The course is given spring in even-numbered years. The course presents state estimation techniques for nonlinear dynamic systems with an additional focus on Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) and Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) methods, the underlying theoretic foundations and implementation skills. The course is given in English.

Learning outcome
