Online State Estimation

Estimate model parameters using linear and nonlinear Kalman filters at the command line and in Simulink®

You can estimate the states of your system using real-time data and linear, extended, or unscented Kalman filter algorithms. You can perform online state estimation using the Simulink blocks in the Estimators sublibrary of the System Identification Toolbox™ library. You can then generate C/C++ code for these blocks using Simulink Coder™, and deploy this code to an embedded target. You can also perform online state estimation at the command line, and deploy your code using MATLAB® Compiler™ or MATLAB Coder.
