particle filtering importance weights
In theory, importance weight of a particle has to be a probability, i.e., w_(s_t) = p(z_t|s_t).
My question is: Since we eventually normalize the weights with their sum and get a probability ...

Rao-Blackwellization of sequential Monte Carlo filters
In the seminal paper "Rao-Blackwellised Particle Filtering for Dynamic Bayesian Networks" by A. Doucet et. al. a sequential monte carlo filter (particle filter) is proposed, which makes use of a ...

Using a particle filter for robot localization
I have a robot that has a GPS and velocity sensors. The GPS updates roughly every 1-2 seconds. I've been playing around with a Kalman filter that has been working pretty well. I just learned and ...

How to track a curved object using the particle filter algorithm?
I have implemented the condensation algorithm in order to track a moving object in image streams. If the moving object is simple, the object's state can be represented only by the coordinates of the ...

A motion model to track a moving object using the condensation algorithm
I have implemented the condensation algorithm in order to track a moving object in video sequences, however the predictive step does not work properly, so the samples moves excessively compared to the ...

clustering with particle filters
Suppose we want to cluster a data stream of unknown number of clusters, and estimate them using particle filters. With particle filters, we need to know $P(x_t | x_{t-1})$ and $P(z_t | x_t)$ (where z ...

Maximum likelihood estimation procedures for state-space linear models
State-space models are represented by a state equation and an observation equation (or system of equations to be more precise). These equations are parametarized by components including a transition ...

Sense of correlation coefficient matrix of particle filter's parameters
I am using a particle filter to estimate the parameters($\Phi_{n\times1}$) of a non-linear model. Say my input (observations) is $t=1:k$, I will have a vector of length $k$ for each of the parameter ...

Particle filter in Matlab - what is going wrong?
I posted this question on Electronics.Stackexchange and someone told me I'll be better off posting it here.
Its an implementation of the Particle Filter using MATLAB but the results never follow the ...

What is the difference between a particle filter (sequential Monte Carlo) and a Kalman filter?
A particle filter and Kalman filter are both recursive Bayesian estimators. I often encounter Kalman filters in my field, but very rarely see the usage of a particle filter.
When would one be used ...
