+
+A dynamic system can be modelled with two equations:
+
+\subsection{State Transition or Evolution Equation}
+ \[
+ {\color{StateColor}\vx_k} = {\color{StateFuncColor}f_k}({\color{StateColor}\vx_{k-1}},
+ {\color{InputColor}\vu_{k-1}},{\color{StateNoiseColor}\vv_{k-1}})
+ \]
+
+${\color{StateFuncColor}f}(\cdot,\cdot,\cdot)$:
+{\color{StateFuncColor}evolution
+function} (possible non-linear) \\
+${\color{StateColor}\vx_k}, {\color{StateColor}\vx_{k-1}} \in
+\Realnumbers^{n_x}$:
+current and previous {\color{StateColor}state} \\
+${\color{StateNoiseColor}\vv_{k-1}} \in \Realnumbers^{n_v}$:
+{\color{StateNoiseColor}state noise}
+(usually \emph{not} Gaussian)\\
+${\color{InputColor}\vu_{k-1}} \in
+\Realnumbers^{n_u}$: known {\color{InputColor}input}
+
+\bigskip
+Note: state only depends on previous state, i.e. first order
+Markov process
+
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Measurement Equation}
+ \[
+ {\color{MeasColor}\vz_k} = {\color{MeasFuncColor}h_k}({\color{StateColor}\vx_k},
+ {\color{InputColor}\vu_k},{\color{MeasNoiseColor}\vn_k})
+ \]
+
+${\color{MeasFuncColor}h}(\cdot,\cdot,\cdot)$:
+{\color{MeasFuncColor}measurement
+function} (possible non-linear) \\
+${\color{MeasColor}\vz_k} \in
+\Realnumbers^{n_z}$: {\color{MeasColor}measurement} \\
+${\color{StateColor}\vx_k} \in
+\Realnumbers^{n_x}$: {\color{StateColor}state} \\
+${\color{MeasNoiseColor}\vn_k} \in \Realnumbers^{n_n}$:

+(usually \emph{not} Gaussian)\\

+
+Assumptions:
+
+The observations are conditionally independent given the state:
+$p(\vz_k|\vx_k)$.
+
+Hidden Markov Model (HMM):\\
+$p(\vx_0)$ given and $p(\vx_k|\vx_{k-1})$ defines state transition probability for $k \ge 1$.
+
+
+\newpage

+
+
+
+
+\section{Bayesian Filters}
+
+
+\subsection{Estimating the Posterior}
+
+Bayesian approach: We attempt to construct the posterior pdf of
+the state given all measurements.
+
+$\Rightarrow$ can be termed a complete solution to the estimation
+problem because all available information is used; from the pdf,
+an optimal estimate can theoretically be found for any criterion.
+
+in detail: We seek estimates of $\vx_k$ based on all available
+measurements up to time $k$ (abbreviated as $\vz_{1:k}$) by
+constructing the posterior $p(\vx_k|\vz_{1:k})$.
+
+Assumption: initial state pdf (prior) $p(\vx_0)$ is given
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{The Use of Knowing the Posterior}
+
+Let $f_k : \Realnumbers^{(k+1)\times n_x} \to \Realnumbers$ be any
+arbitrary (integrable) function that can depend
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item on all components of the state $\vx$
+ \item on the whole trajectory in state-space
+\end{itemize}
+
+Examples: This function can be an estimator for the current state
+or for future observations.
+
+Then we can compute its expectation using
+\[
+ \Expect{f_k(\vx_{0:k})} = \int f(\vx_{0:k})
+ p(\vx_{0:k}|\vz_{1:k}) d\vx_{0:k}
+\]
+
+MMSE estimate of state: $\hat{\vx} = \Expect{\vx_k}$. Other
+estimates that can be computed: median, modes, confidence
+intervals, kurtosis, \dots
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Recursive Filters}
+
+recursive filters (i.e. sequential update of previous estimate)
+$\leftrightarrow$ batch processing (computation with all data in
+one step)
+
+not only faster: allow on-line processing of data (lower storage
+costs, rapid adaption to changing signals characteristics)
+
+essentially consist of two steps:
+ \begin{description}
+ \item[prediction step:] $p(\vx_{k-1}|\vz_{1:k-1}) \to
+ p(\vx_{k}|\vz_{1:k-1})$ \\
+ (usually deforms / translates / spreads state pdf due to noise)
+ \item[update step:] $p(\vx_{k}|\vz_{1:k-1}),\vz_k \to p(\vx_{k}|\vz_{1:k})$\\
+ (combines likelihood of current measurement with predicted state;
+ usually concentrates state pdf)
+ \end{description}
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{General Prediction-Update Framework}
+
+Assume that pdf $p(\vx_{k-1}|\vz_{1:k-1})$ is available at time
+$k-1$.
+
+Prediction step: (using Chapman-Kolmogoroff equation)
+\begin{equation}
+ \label{eq:predict}
+ p(\vx_k|\vz_{1:k-1}) = \int
+ p(\vx_k|\vx_{k-1}) p(\vx_{k-1}|\vz_{1:k-1}) d\vx_{k-1}
+\end{equation}
+This is the prior of the state $\vx_k$ at time $k$ \emph{without
+knowledge of the measurement $\vz_k$}, i.e. the probability
+\emph{given only previous measurements}.
+
+Update step: (compute posterior pdf from
+predicted prior pdf and new measurement)
+\begin{equation}
+ \label{eq:update}
+ p(\vx_k|\vz_{1:k}) = \frac{p(\vz_k|\vx_k)p(\vx_k|\vz_{1:k-1})}{p(\vz_{k}|\vz_{1:k-1})}
+\end{equation}

+Assumptions:
+\begin{itemize}

+ {\footnotesize (Note: implicitly includes discreteness)}
+\end{itemize}
+
+Suppose at time $k-1$ we have states $\vx^i$ with
+$i=1,\ldots,N_s$. Conditional probability of these states:
+\[
+ Pr(\vx_{k-1} = \vx^i|\vz_{1:k-1}) = w_{k-1|k-1}^i
+\]
+Then the (old) posterior at time $k-1$ is given by:

+\subsection{Results (Summary)}
+
+Both the (new) prior and the (new) posterior have the same
+structure: a sum of weighted Dirac peaks:

+\[
+ p(\vx_{k}|\vz_{1:k-1}) = \sum_{i=1}^{N_s} w_{k|k-1}^i \; \delta(\vx_{k-1}-\vx^i)
+\]
+\[
+ p(\vx_{k}|\vz_{1:k}) = \sum_{i=1}^{N_s} w_{k|k}^i \; \delta(\vx_{k-1}-\vx^i)
+\]
+
+Note: extension to different sets of states for each time step
+\[
+ \{\vx^i\}: i=1,\ldots,N_s \quad\longrightarrow\quad \{\vx^i_k\}: i=1,\ldots,N_{s,k}

+\section{Particle Filter}
+
+
+\subsection{Suboptimal Approximations}
+
+If we want to preserve Kalman filter principle\dots
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)
+ \item Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF)
+\end{itemize}
+...we get better results, \mybox{BUT: \emph{we cannot get rid off
+Gaussian approximations}}
+
+\newpage
+
+EKF / UKF: \mybox{All these approaches fail if we have
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item bimodal / multimodal pdfs
+ \item heavily skewed pdfs
+\end{itemize}
+}
+
+We need a more general scheme to tackle these problems.
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Particle Filter -- General Concept}
+
+Many different names (do you remember the
+\href{#section.1}{introduction}?) but the general concept is
+rather simple:
+
+\mybox{PARTICLE FILTER:
+
+If we cannot solve the integrals required for a Bayesian recursive
+filter analytically \dots we represent the posterior probabilities
+by a set of randomly chosen weighted samples.}
+
+Note: ``randomly chosen'' $\equiv$ ``Monte Carlo'' \\
+(we are playing roulette / throwing the dice)
+
+Increasing number of samples $\Rightarrow$ (almost sure)
+convergence to true pdf
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Sequential Importance Sampling (SIS)}
+
+SIS is the basic framework for most particle filter algorithms.
+Let
+\begin{eqnarray*}
+ \{\vx_{0:k}^i\} &:& \mbox{set of support points
+ (samples, particles)} \\
+ && i = 1,\ldots,N_s \\
+ && \mbox{(whole trajectory for each particle!)} \\
+ w_{k}^i &:& \mbox{associated weights, normalized to $\sum_i w_k^i = 1$}
+\end{eqnarray*}
+Then:
+\[
+ p(\vx_k|\vz_{1:k}) \approx \sum_{i=1}^{N_s} w_k^i \delta(\vx_{0:k} - \vx^i_{0:k})
+\]
+(discrete weighted approximation to the true posterior)
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection*{SIS (continued)}
+
+Usually we cannot draw samples $\vx_k^i$ from $p(\cdot)$ directly.
+Assume we sample directly from a (different) \emph{importance
+function} $q(\cdot)$. Our approximation is still correct (up to
+normalization) if
+\[
+ w_k^i \propto \frac{p(\vx^i_{0:k}|\vz_{1:k})}{q(\vx^i_{0:k}|\vz_{1:k})}
+\]
+\mybox{The trick: we can choose $q(\cdot)$ freely!}
+
+If the importance function is chosen to factorize such that
+\[
+ q(\vx_{0:k}|\vz_{1:k}) = q(\vx_{k}|\vx_{0:k-1},\vz_{1:k})\;q(\vx_{0:k-1}|\vz_{1:k-1})
+\]
+then one can augment old particles $\vx^i_{0:k-1}$ by $\vx_k \sim
+q(\vx_{k}|\vx_{0:k-1},\vz_{1:k})$ to get new particles
+$\vx^i_{0:k}$.
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection*{SIS (continued)}
+
+Weight update (after some lengthy computations\dots):
+\begin{equation}
+ \label{eq:WeightUpdate}
+ w_k^i = w^i_{k-1}
+ \frac{p(\vz_k|\vx^i_k)\,p(\vx^i_{k}|\vx^i_{k-1})}{q(\vx^i_{k}|\vx^i_{0:k-1},\vz_{1:k})}
+\end{equation}
+Furthermore, if $q(\vx_{k}|\vx_{0:k-1},\vz_{1:k}) =
+q(\vx_{k}|\vx_{k-1},\vz_{1:k})$\\
+(only dependent on \emph{last} state and observations):
+\[
+ p(\vx|\vz_{1:k}) \approx \sum_{i=1}^{N_s} w_k^i \,\delta(\vx_k -
+ \vx_k^i)
+\]
+(and we need not preserve trajectories $\vx^i_{0:k-1}$ and history
+of observations $\vz_{1:k-1}$)
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{SIS Algorithm -- Pseudo Code}
+
+\mycodebox{
+ [\codemath{\{\vx^i_k,w^i_k\}_{i=1}^{N_s}}] = SIS(\codemath{\{\vx^i_{k-1},w^i_{k-1}\}_{i=1}^{N_s}},
+ \codemath{\vz_k}) \\
+ \hspace*{7mm} FOR \codemath{i} = \codemath{1} : \codemath{N_s} \\

+ \hspace*{7mm} END FOR \\
+ \hspace*{7mm} \codetext{normalize weights to} \codemath{\sum_{i=1}^{N_s} w_k^i = 1}
+}
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{PROBLEM: Degeneracy Problem}
+
+Problem with SIS approach: after a few iterations, most particles
+have negligible weight (the weight is concentrated on a few
+particles only)
+
+Counter measures:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item brute force: many, many samples $N_s$
+ \item good choice of importance density
+ \item resampling
+\end{itemize}
+
+Note: amount of degeneracy can be estimated based on variance of
+weights [Liu 1996].
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Optimal Impotance Density:}
+
+It can be shown that the optimal importance density is given by
+\[
+ q(\vx_k|\vx_{k-1},\vz_k)_{opt} = p(\vx_k|\vx_{k-1},\vz_k)
+\]
+Then
+\[
+ w^i_k = w^i_{k-1} \int p(\vz_k|\vx'_k) p(\vx'_k|\vx^i_{k-1})
+ d\vx'_k
+\]
+Two major drawbacks: usually neither sampling from $q_opt$ nor
+solving the integral in $w^i_k$ is possible\dots (but in some
+special cases, it works)
+
+Other alternative which is often convenient: \\
+$q(\cdot) = p(\vx_k|\vx_{k-1})$ (prior). Easy to implement, but does not take
+measurements into account.
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Resampling Approaches}
+
+Basic idea of resampling:
+ \mybox{Whenever degeneracy rises above threshold: replace old set of samples
+ (+ weights) with new set of samples (+ weights), such that sample density
+ better reflects posterior pdf.}
+
+This eliminates particles with low weight and chooses more
+particles in more probable regions.
+
+Complexity: possible in $O(N_s)$ operations
+
+
+\newpage

+ \hspace*{14mm} \codetext{resample} \codemath{\{\vx^i_k,w^i_k\}_{i=1}^{N_s}} \\
+ \hspace*{7mm} END IF
+}
+
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{PROBLEM: Loss of Diversity}
+
+No degeneracy problem but new problem arises:
+%
+\mybox{Particles with high weight are selected more and more
+often, others die out slowly
+
+$\Rightarrow$ \emph{loss of diversity} or \emph{sample
+impoverishment}}
+
+For small process noise, all particles can collapse into a single
+point within a few iterations.
+
+Other problem: resampling limits the ability to parallelize
+algorithm.
+
+
+
+\newpage
+\subsection{Other Particle Filter Variants}
+
+
+Methods to counteract loss of diversity and degeneracy problem:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item resample-move algorithm
+ \item regularization
+ \item Rao-Blackwellisation
+ \item multiple Monte-Carlo
+\end{itemize}
+
+Other particle filter variants found in the literature:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item sampling importance resampling (SIR)
+ \item auxiliary sampling importance resampling (ASIR)
+ \item regularized particle filter (RPF)
+ \item \dots

+\section{Summary}
+
+First of all: what I did \emph{not} talk about\dots
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item speed of convergence
+ \item number of samples needed
+ \item complexity issues / tricks for speed-up of algorithms
+ \item advanced particle filter variants in detail
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+$\Rightarrow$ refer to the literature if you want to know more
+
+
+
+\newpage
+Advantages of particle filters (PFs):
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item can deal with non-linearities
+ \item can deal with non-Gaussian noise
+ \item can be implemented in $O(N_s)$
+ \item mostly parallelizable
+ \item easy to implement
+ \item in contrast to HMM filters (state-space discretized to $N$ fixed
+ states) : PFs focus adaptively on probable regions of state-space
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+
+\newpage
+{\bfseries\Large Thesis:}
+
+\myboxii{If you want to solve a filtering problem, then particle
+filters are the best filters you can use, much better than e.g.
+Kalman filters.}
+
+\textcolor{dgreen}{\bfseries Right} or \textcolor{red}{\bfseries wrong}?
+
+
+\newpage
+
+\textcolor{red}{\bfseries WRONG}!
+
+Particle filters include a random element; they only convergence
+to the true posterior pdf (almost surely) if $N_s \to \infty$.
+
+Therefore: \emph{If the assumptions for Kalman filters or
+grid-based filters are valid, no PF can outperform them!}
+
+Additionally: depending on the dynamic model, Gaussian sum
+filters, unscented Kalman filters or extended Kalman filters may
+produce satisfactory results at lower computational cost.
+
+(But you should at least try a PF; it is usually better than other
+suboptimal methods!)
+
+
+
+
+\newpage
+PF approaches proved their usefulness in a variety of
+applications.
+
+But:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item choice of importance function $q(\cdot)$ is crucial in PF
+ design
+ \item large sample number $N_s$ increases computational effort
+ \item potential problems: \emph{degeneracy} and \emph{loss of diversity}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\mybox{If these points are taken into account, then particle
+filters are an extremely powerful tool for filtering /
+estimation.}
