Abstract

In this paper we study the design, implementation and evaluate the performance of a Kalman filter using FPGA. It is essential to be familiar with minimum mean square error filtering and state space methods. It is important that the set of equations, their relevance to one another and indeed the overall functionality of the algorithm that defines the Kalman filter require complete understanding. The filter will be implemented with field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), to monitor the level fluctuations for a dam/reservoir.
