Desarrollo de la API ZKalmanUSC para Implementación de Filtro de Kalman Discreto

Abstract

The Kalman Filter is one of the most used algorithms in the treatment of spatio-temporal problems, presenting itself with increasing application in new areas of knowledge, and increasing its use in the world of computing, which makes it very important its application in computer programming; From the above, this article describes the development of an Application Programming Interface (API), which facilitates the implementation of the Discreet Kalman Filter. Having as objective the generalization of the mathematical models, for their application from the JAVA programming language; Initially, its development focuses on the presentation of the fundamental mathematical base to be programmed, after that a methodology with the organization of the source code is displayed, showing the class diagram with a reference to the mathematical models used and culminating with the section of results obtained, from the demonstration of a simple example, together with the performance times compared to another existing API, which has the same filter implementation functionality. Demonstrating how the development of a discrete Kalman Filter computer library, it is a possibility that provides an instrument to provide software solutions, allowing a variety of options from learning the mathematical models of the filter, or implementing it from a mode advanced, in which the developer is released from performing additional tasks that are currently required, at the time of programming.
