Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successfully completing this course, the participants are able to
- explain the principles and components of sensor fusion systems,
- construct continuous and discrete time state space models based on ordinary differential equations, difference equations, and physical sensor models,
- identify and explain the differences between linear and nonlinear models and their implications on sensor fusion
- develop and compare state space models and Kalman as well as particle filtering algorithms for solving sensor fusion problems.
