Noun

Forms: Kalman filters [plural]
Etymology: Named after Hungarian-American electrical engineer Rudolf E. Kálmán (1930–2016), one of the primary developers of its theory. Etymology templates: {{named-after/list|electrical engineer||||}} electrical engineer, {{!}} |, {{lang|en|Rudolf E. Kálmán}} Rudolf E. Kálmán, {{named-after|en|Rudolf E.

Kálmán (1930–2016) Head templates: {{en-noun}} Kalman filter (plural Kalman filters)
  1. An algorithm that uses a series of measurements observed over time, containing statistical noise and other inaccuracies, and produces estimates of unknown variables that tend to be more precise than those based on a single measurement alone. They are used in navigation, signal processing, etc. Wikipedia link: Kalman filter Synonyms: LQE
