How does an aircraft know its precise angle of attack, sideslip, and other state data when its sensors are imperfect? This fundamental challenge is addressed through state estimation. These lessons will teach you how to turn limited, noisy data into a reliable estimate of a system's true state.
Learn the most common methods in state estimation as we survey state state estimation, open loop observers, Luenberger observers, the continuous Kalman filter, and the discrete Kalman filter.
