Following the third article of the series "A brief tutorial on recursive estimation: Examples from intelligent vehicle applications", in this article (the fourth article) we continue to focus on the problem of how to handle model nonlinearity in recursive estimation. We will review the particle filter a.k.a. a sequential Monte Carlo method which has the potential to handle recursive estimation problems with an system model and a measurement model of arbitrary types and with data statistics of arbitrary types. We will explain basic principles that underlie the particle filter, and demonstrate with examples from intelligent vehicle applications its performance. We will explain its advantage as well as limitation.
