Wednesday, 9/11, from 6 to 8 p.m. at DeVos Center, GVSU
The presentation will be delivered by Michael Bloem, PhD, and will be entitled "A Gentle Introduction to Bayesian & Kalman Filters." The talk will introduce the Discrete Bayes Filter by demonstrating how such a filter can estimate the location of a dog in an office over time using measurements sent by its IoT-enabled collar. He will then introduce the Kalman Filter as a type of Bayes Filter and share results of applying a Kalman Filter to the estimation of trajectories of aircraft on the airport surface from surveillance data.
