Introduction
In this project, Earth is threatened by a shower of meteorites falling in your location. It is your task to receive sensor readings of the locations of these meteorites, estimate where each of the meteorites will be one tenth of a second later using Kalman Filters (KFs), and finally, destroy each meteorite before it hits the ground by firing your laser turret at it. This project consists of two parts:
1. Estimation—estimate meteorite locations
a. Estimation of one meteorite’s position with no noise in the observations—15% of grade
b. Estimation of the positions of many meteorites given noisy measurements—65% of grade
2. Defense—aim and fire your laser turret at incoming meteorites before they hit the ground—20% of grade
