Object tracking with an Iterative Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF)

Matlab implementation of Ted Broida's "Estimation of Object Motion Parameters from Noisy Images"

This is my Matlab implementation of Ted Broida's "Estimation of Object Motion
Parameters from Noisy Images." This is a very early work using Kalman Filtering to perform object tracking. The paper makes many assumptions such as the structure is known and we are given a 1D view of a 2D object, but it paved the way for future methods.
From the perspective of a new person to adaptive filtering, I believe this creates a perfect example problem to apply an IEKF because it is simple and you can concentrate on how the algorithm works. Plus the inputs to the filter have a physical meaning.

The best way to start will be by reading the .pdf file. This is the write up I did for this project and hopefully should explain how it works clearly.

Then next thing will be to simply run "CompleteSimulation.m" I tried to make the code very readable so hopefully you can just read the script.

The largest reason for submitting this to the file exchange is "f_IEKF.m" This is the function that actually implements the filter and took several days of headache to write. It isn't commented line by line, but I choose the variables to be consistent with the theory sections seen in most books. I hope it will be clear and help someone out there.
