English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics
  • Mathematical Geography
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A numerical method used to track a time-varying signal in the presence of noise.

OBS

If the signal can be characterized by some number of parameters that vary slowly with time, then Kalman filtering can be used to tell how incoming raw measurements should be processed to best estimate those parameters as a function of time.

OBS

Kalman filter : term and definition provided by the Canadian Hydrographic Service.

DEF

Méthode numérique de poursuite d'un signal variant dans le temps en présence de bruit.

OBS

Si le signal peut être caractérisé par un certain nombre de paramètres variant lentement en fonction du temps, le filtrage de Kalman peut être appliqué pour déterminer comment les mesures brutes entrantes devraient être traitées pour obtenir la meilleur estimation possible de ces paramètres en fonction du temps.
