project_6_extended_kalman_filter

Extended Kalman Filter Project

Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree Program

Project Description

This code implements the extended Kalman filter in C++. We are providing simulated lidar and radar measurements detecting a bicycle that travels around your vehicle. You will use a Kalman filter, lidar measurements and radar measurements to track the bicycle's position and velocity.

Dependencies

• cmake >= 3.5
  • All OSes: click here for installation instructions
• make >= 4.1
  • Linux: make is installed by default on most Linux distros
  • Mac: install Xcode command line tools to get make
  • Windows: Click here for installation instructions
• gcc/g++ >= 5.4
  • Linux: gcc / g++ is installed by default on most Linux distros
  • Mac: same deal as make - [install Xcode command line tools]((https://developer.apple.com/xcode/features/)
  • Windows: recommend using MinGW

Basic Build Instructions

1. Clone this repo.
2. Make a build directory: mkdir build && cd build
3. Compile: cmake .. && make
   • On windows, you may need to run: cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" && make
4. Run it: ./ExtendedKF path/to/input.txt path/to/output.txt. You can find some sample inputs in 'data/'.
   • eg. ./ExtendedKF ../data/sample-laser-radar-measurement-data-1.txt output.txt

Editor Settings

We've purposefully kept editor configuration files out of this repo in order to keep it as simple and environment agnostic as possible. However, we recommend using the following settings:

• indent using spaces
• set tab width to 2 spaces (keeps the matrices in source code aligned)

Code Style

Please (do your best to) stick to Google's C++ style guide.
