State Estimation

Estimate states during system operation, generate code and deploy to embedded targets

Online state estimation algorithms update state estimates of your system when new data is available. You can estimate the states of your system using real-time data and linear and nonlinear Kalman filter algorithms. You can perform online state estimation using Simulink^® blocks, 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.
