Detailed Description

Kalman filter class.

The class implements a standard Kalman filter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter, [68] . However, you can modify transitionMatrix, controlMatrix, and measurementMatrix to get an extended Kalman filter functionality.

Note

In C API when CvKalman* kalmanFilter structure is not needed anymore, it should be released with cvReleaseKalman(&kalmanFilter)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KalmanFilter() [1/2]

cv::KalmanFilter::KalmanFilter

(

)

KalmanFilter() [2/2]

cv::KalmanFilter::KalmanFilter	(	int	dynamParams,
		int	measureParams,
		int	controlParams = 0,
		int	type = CV_32F
	)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

dynamParams	Dimensionality of the state.
measureParams	Dimensionality of the measurement.
controlParams	Dimensionality of the control vector.
type	Type of the created matrices that should be CV_32F or CV_64F.

Member Function Documentation

correct()

const Mat& cv::KalmanFilter::correct

(

const Mat &

measurement

)

Updates the predicted state from the measurement.

Parameters

measurement

The measured system parameters

init()

void cv::KalmanFilter::init	(	int	dynamParams,
		int	measureParams,
		int	controlParams = 0,
		int	type = CV_32F
	)

Re-initializes Kalman filter. The previous content is destroyed.

Parameters

dynamParams	Dimensionality of the state.
measureParams	Dimensionality of the measurement.
controlParams	Dimensionality of the control vector.
type	Type of the created matrices that should be CV_32F or CV_64F.

predict()

const Mat& cv::KalmanFilter::predict

(

const Mat &

control = Mat()

)

Computes a predicted state.

Parameters

control

The optional input control
