That's a classic use-case of Kalman

Can you expand on how the Kalman Filter fits into this category?

There's another explanation of Kalman filters here: http://www.bzarg.com/p/how-a-kalman-filter-works-in-pictures...

Sounds like a kalman filter, which suggests to me that it’s too simplistic a perspective.

Converging slowly on Kalman filters, calling it now.

Very cool way of introducing kalman filters

Perhaps this will help ? https://akssri.github.io/blog/Kalman-Filtering.html

That is not a Kalman filter :) A Kalman filter uses matrices, a physical model of the system its trying to filter data and lots of stuff I haven't found in that code

Here are two good resources for the Kalman Filter:https://www.bzarg.com/p/how-a-kalman-filter-works-in-picture...https://www.kalmanfilter.net/default.aspx
