History and Applications of Kalman Filter: A Review
Abstract: The Kalman filter is a powerful algorithm that is used to estimate the dynamic system states with noisy measurements and uncertain behaviors. It is an optimal estimator that minimizes the average squared error between the estimated states and the true states, given the noisy data and a model of the system. The recursive algorithm is highly effective in tracking and predicting the state of complex systems over time. Kalman filters …

Stress Detection System Using Internet of Things
Abstract: A change in electrical potential is caused by the confluence of hundreds of brain neurons, which is reflected by a brainwave. When a neuron has accumulated enough energy, it receives messages from nearby neurons and begins a cyclic discharge process. People also emit brainwaves on a regular basis for this reason. According to researchers at Michigan University's Laboratory of Brain Recognition and Behavior, long-term multitasking reduces productivity, and filtering out …
