Kalman filter for car's tracking path

Question

Hi, I am having a set of Points like Point(x,y). After the car gone through so many ways in the same road it is almost messing the resulting map. I heard that kalman filter can make a sigle path from the available paths. Can any body say, how to make it. I am not from computer science. So please explain me about that concept and those matrices. Then I will code them. Please anybody enlighten me about the concept.

Answer 1

As far as I know is the Kalman filter capable to combine several sources of the same information to get a more precise measurement of the observed variable. It could be possible to combine also with the same measruement device measured multiple times. Here is a good introduction:INTRO, AnotherOne

Answer 2

I don't know if this question is still active, but if your intressted in learning more about the Kalman filter I can strongly recomend this short matlab script. Even if you dont have matlab installed it should be about the simplest example on Kalman your likely to find!

Answer 3

I don't see how exactly a Kalman filter would be applied here.

I would approach this problem either by image processing, so a thick path would be reduced to a thin line or by successive linear regression on the path segments.
