How is the GPS fused with IMU in a kalman filter?
I've been trying to understand how a Kalman filter used in navigation without much success, my questions are:
The gps outputs latitude, longitude and velocity.
While the IMU outputs acceleration and ...

EKF linearization using Taylor expansion and absence of operating point
If we consider the first-order Taylor expansion of a general nonlinear function at the operating point $x=x_0$, then we have the following,
$$f(x) \approx f(x_0) + \frac{\partial{f}}{\partial{x}}|_{x=...

How to calculate observation matrix Jacobians in EFK based mono slam? What are projection Jacobians?
I have been trying to understand an implementation of monoSLAM 1. But my question is generic to EKF based single camera SLAM.
My Jacobian calculation leads to complex and lengthy expressions while ...
