Extended Kalman Filter Project Starter Code
Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree Program
This project utilizes a kalman filter to estimate the state of a moving object of interest with noisy lidar and radar measurements.
This project involves the Term 2 Simulator which can be downloaded here
This repository includes two files that can be used to set up and install uWebSocketIO for either Linux or Mac systems. For windows you can use either Docker, VMware, or even Windows 10 Bash on Ubuntu to install uWebSocketIO. Please see this concept in the classroom for the required version and installation scripts.
Once the install for uWebSocketIO is complete, the main program can be built and run by doing the following from the project top directory.
- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake ..
- make
- ./ExtendedKF
Here is the main protcol that main.cpp uses for uWebSocketIO in communicating with the simulator.
INPUT: values provided by the simulator to the c++ program
["sensor_measurement"] => the measurement that the simulator observed (either lidar or radar)
OUTPUT: values provided by the c++ program to the simulator
["estimate_x"] <= kalman filter estimated position x ["estimate_y"] <= kalman filter estimated position y ["rmse_x"] ["rmse_y"] ["rmse_vx"] ["rmse_vy"]
Other Important Dependencies
- cmake >= 3.5
- All OSes: click here for installation instructions
- make >= 4.1 (Linux, Mac), 3.81 (Windows)
- 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
- Windows: recommend using MinGW
Basic Build Instructions
- Clone this repo.
- Make a build directory:
mkdir build && cd build - Compile:
cmake .. && make- On windows, you may need to run:
cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles" && make
- On windows, you may need to run:
- Run it:
./ExtendedKF
