EKParticleFilter ( MCPdf< ColumnVector > *  prior,
int  resampleperiod = 0,

)

Constructor.

Precondition:
you created the necessary models and the prior
Parameters:
priorpointer to the Monte Carlo Pdf prior density
resampleperiodfixed resampling period (if desired)
resamplethresholdthreshold used when dynamic resampling
resampleschemeresampling scheme, see header file for different defines and their meaning
Bug:
prior should be of type pdf and not mcpdf. See also notes with implementation

Member Data Documentation

Pdf<StateVar>* _post [protected, inherited]

Pointer to the Posterior Pdf.

The Posterior Pdf represents the subjective belief of the person applying the filter AFTER processing inputs and measurements. A filter does not maintain the beliefs at all timesteps t, since this leads to non-constant (or ever growing if you prefer) memory requirements. However, it is possible, to copy the Posterior density at all timesteps in your application by means of the PostGet() member function

Definition at line 95 of file filter.h.

ConditionalPdf<ColumnVector ,ColumnVector >* _proposal [protected, inherited]

Pointer to the Proposal Density.

Every particle filter (or more correct: every Sequential Importance Sampling method) uses a proposal density to do the forward sampling step

Definition at line 174 of file particlefilter.h.

int _resamplePeriod [protected, inherited]

Number of timestep between resampling from the Posterior Pdf.

By choosing this period, one can avoid numerical instability (aka Degeneration of the particle filter

Definition at line 193 of file particlefilter.h.

int _timestep [protected, inherited]

Represents the current timestep of the filter.
