Kalman filters reportedly came to prominence in the early years of the space program as a result of their success in definitively tracking space exploration vehicles. Kalman filters are mathematical processes first applied to extract vehicular courses or trajectories from noise-filled, measured radio-telemetry navigational data. Navigational data involves numerous degrees of freedom, such as roll, pitch, and yaw combined with forward, sideways, and vertical motions. Following a vehicle motion involves ...
