TOP REVIEWS FROM STATE ESTIMATION AND LOCALIZATION FOR SELF-DRIVING CARS
There are many interesting topics. Without the help and suggested readings from this course, I wouldn't be able to finish by myself. Also, the final project is very enlightening.
The course gave a clear and an in-depth knowledge on Kalman filters and Localisation using those filters. The assignments were pretty tough but solving them was fun.
Thank you for this absolutely fantastic course. Kalman filters and state estimation in general is a concept that I've tried to understand for a long time, and I'm glad to have finally understood it!
A great Journey for anyone interested in Self Driving Cars. State estimation is vital in this field and this is a great course to start learning it!
