O'Reilly refining a book on a 2D linear system
Oreilly's book, Learning OpenCV, states on page 356:
Quote
Before we get completely lost, consider a specific realistic measurement situation on a car driving in a parking lot. We can imagine that the state of the car can be summed up by two position variables x and y and two speeds vx and vy. These four variables would be the elements of the state vector xk. Th assumes that the correct form for F is:
x = [ x; y; vx; vy; ]k F = [ 1, 0, dt, 0; 0, 1, 0, dt; 0, 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 0, 1; ]
It seems natural to only put 'dt' in matrix F, but I just don't understand why. What if I have an n state system, how would I spray some "dt" in the matrix F?
