Book Description

This book is an introductory text for Kalman and Bayesian filters. All code is written in Python, and the book itself is written using Juptyer Notebook so that you can run and modify the code in your browser. What better way to learn?

The book focuses on building intuition and experience, not formal proofs. Includes Kalman filters, extended Kalman filters, unscented Kalman filters, particle filters, and more. All exercises include solutions.

The book teaches you how to solve these sorts of filtering problems. It uses many different algorithms, but they are all based on Bayesian Probability. In simple terms Bayesian probability determines what is likely to be true based on past information.

The motivation for this book came out of my desire for a gentle introduction to Kalman filtering. I'm a software engineer that spent almost two decades in the avionics field, and so I have always been 'bumping elbows' with the Kalman filter, but never implemented one myself.

This book is for the hobbyist, the curious, and the working engineer that needs to filter or smooth data.

• O'Reilly® Think DSP: Digital Signal Processing in Python

  This book is an introduction to signal processing and system analysis using a computational approach with Python as the programming language. It develops the important ideas incrementally, with a focus on applications.

• O'Reilly® Think Bayes: Bayesian Statistics in Python

  If you know how to program, you're ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical formulas, using discrete probability distributions rather than continuous mathematics.

• PySDR: A Guide to SDR and DSP using Python (Marc Lichtman)

  This textbook acts as a hands-on introduction to the areas of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Software-Defined Radio (SDR), and wireless communications. Think of this textbook like a gateway into the world of DSP and SDR.

• Digital Filter Design (Zoran Milivojevic)

  Provide you with different theorethical and practical approaches to digital filter design. It covers design of both finite and infinite impulse response filters. In addition, it applies the most popular and most commonly used design methodes giving the best solutions.

• Signal Computing: Digital Signals in the Software Domain

  Digital signals place great demands on processing power, network bandwidth, storage capacity, I/O speed, and software design. As a result, signal computing is a great laboratory for exercising the full range of knowledge of computer science.

• Window Functions and Their Applications in Signal Processing

  This book presents an exhaustive and detailed account of Window Functions and their applications in signal processing, focusing on the areas of digital spectral analysis, design of FIR filters, pulse compression radar, and speech signal processing.

• The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing

  Written by a working scientist/engineer who has used DSP in his inventions and designs, this book will help design engineers on the job trying to master a tough subject that is now regarded as an essential engineering skill and put it to use.

• Notes on the Design of Optimal FIR Filters (John Treichler)

  This note primarily addresses how to estimate impulse response lengths short of actually designing the filter itself and indirectly discusses a bit the first. It examines how to convert a typical filter specification in terms of cutoff frequency, passband ripple, etc.

• Introduction to Digital Filters: with Audio Applications

  A digital filter can be pictured as a "black box" that accepts a sequence of numbers and emits a new sequence of numbers. This book is a gentle introduction to digital filters, including mathematical theory, illustrative examples, some audio applications, and useful software starting points.

• Digital Filters and Signal Processing (Fausto Maarquez, et al)

  Presents advanced developments in digital filters and signal process methods covering different cases studies with the main essence of the subject, with the principal approaches to the most recent mathematical models that are being employed widely.
