Mean Filter• Also called “moving average” and “box car filter”• Apply to x and y measurements separately
zx
t
Filtered version of this point is mean of points in solid box
• “Causal” filter because it doesn’t look into future• Causes lag when values change sharply• Help fix with decaying weights, e.g.• Sensitive to outliers, i.e. one really bad point can cause mean to take on any value• Simple and effective (I will not vote to reject your paper if you use this technique)

Kalman Filter
My favorite book on Kalman filtering
• Mean and median filters assume smoothness• Kalman filter adds assumption about trajectory
Assumed trajectory is parabolic

assumptions about system’s dynamics
Big difference #1: Kalman filter includes (helpful) assumptions about behavior of measured process

Kalman Filter
Big difference #2: Kalman filter can include state variables that are not measured directly
Kalman filter separates measured variables from state variables

• Hard to pick process noise σs
• Process noise models our uncertainty in system dynamics• Here it accounts for fact that motion is not a straight line
𝑣𝑖(𝑥) = 𝑣𝑖−1(𝑥) +𝑁(0,𝜎𝑠) Velocity model:
“Tuning” σs (by trying a bunch of values) gives better result

Kalman Filter
Editorial: Kalman filter
The Kalman filter was fine back in the old days. But I really prefer more modern methods that are not saddled with Kalman’s restrictions on continuous state variables and linearity assumptions.

• Allows multi-modal uncertainty (Kalman is unimodal Gaussian)• Allows continuous and discrete state variables (e.g. 3rd floor)• Allows rich dynamic model (e.g. must follow floor plan)• Can be slow, especially if state vector dimension is too large(e.g. (x, y, identity, activity, next activity, emotional state, …) )

Particle Filter AlgorithmStart with N instances of state vector xi
(j) , i = 0, j = 1 … N1. i = i+12. Take new measurement zi
3. Propagate particles forward in time with p(xi|xi-1), i.e. generate new, random hypotheses
4. Compute importance weights wi(j) = p(zi|xi
(j)), i.e. how well does measurement support hypothesis?
5. Normalize importance weights so they sum to 1.06. Randomly pick new particles based on importance weights7. Goto 1
Compute state estimate• Weighted mean (assumes unimodal)• Median
