Extended Kalman Filter Project

Overview

This project utilizes a kalman filter to estimate the state of a moving object of interest with noisy lidar and radar measurements. Radar measurements are non-linear and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is the nonlinear version of the Kalman filter which linearizes about an estimate of the current mean and covariance. This project is a fusion of linear Lidar and non-linear Radar measurements.
