x_est = x_pred + K * y; % Update state estimate P_est = (eye(2) - K * H) * P_pred; % Update covariance estimate

H = [1, 0]; % Measure only position Q = [0.001, 0; 0, 0.001]; % Process noise (small) R = meas_noise_std^2; % Measurement noise x_est = x_pred + K * y; %

KALMAN FILTER FOR BEGINNERS - MATLAB EXAMPLES =============================================== Requirements: MATLAB R2018b or newer No toolboxes required (uses only core MATLAB) Run Example 1: kalman_beginner_example1.m Run Example 2: kalman_beginner_example2.m %% Simulation parameters dt = 0.01

%% Kalman Filter Example 2: Falling Object with Gravity clear; clc; close all; %% Simulation parameters dt = 0.01; % 10 ms time step t_end = 2; % 2 seconds of fall t = 0:dt:t_end; N = length(t); g = -9.81; % Gravity (m/s^2) N = length(t)

# In terminal, navigate to your folder zip -r Kalman_Beginner_Package.zip kalman_beginner_example1.m kalman_beginner_example2.m README.txt

for k = 1:N % Prediction with known input x_pred = F * x_est + B * u; P_pred = F * P_est * F' + Q;

In this article, we will break down the Kalman Filter into simple, digestible pieces and—most importantly—provide you with Part 1: The Core Intuition (Without the Math, Yet) Before we dive into matrices and equations, let's understand the logic with a simple story.
