# Extended Kalman Filter This example emulate system with IMU sensors and show how to use Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), with 13 values states vector, to estimate gyroscope errors and calculate system attitude. Also, this example show how to use esp-dsp library to operate with matrices and vectors. In real system, the emulated sensors values should be replace by the real sensors values. Then, in real system, a calibration phase should be implemented and after the calibration phase the state vector X and covariance matrix P should be saved and restored next time, when filter called. It will save time for initial phase. ## How to use example ### Hardware required This example does not require any special hardware, and can be run on any common development board. ### Configure the project Under Component Config ---> DSP Library ---> DSP Optimization, it's possible to choose either the optimized or ANSI implementation, to compare them. ### Build and flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output (replace PORT with serial port name): ``` idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output ``` I (380) spi_flash: detected chip: gd I (383) spi_flash: flash io: dio W (387) spi_flash: Detected size(4096k) larger than the size in the binary image header(2048k).
