Kalman Filter’s Daddy!
Aaaaah! Research! Oh how much I love thee, and how much I HATE thee! Khair… I have been trying to understand how actually Kalman filters work for a while now and Believe me when I tell you they aint easy! I went through hell to get the knots in my brain straightened out! I read a book called Introduction to Random Signals and Applied Kalman Filtering in about two days, at least the first 6 chapters! I reference a gazillion papers and other material online, talked to a mathematician, run simulations and what not… the list goes on. Heck I was so frustrated and unsure of myself that I had to relearn my 4th semester signals and systems course (t

sick
Oh I know I m sick…. but this time I m really sick… My eyes are burning, my ears are red, my face is pale, I ache all over as if I ve been run down by a truck! And especially my neck and the back of my head for some reason, I think I have a slight fever, but I can find the energy to find a thermometer are measure it,  and I cant sleep. Last night when I did I woke up after half an hour. AND I NEVER HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING!!!! Something is VERY wrong.
