Using Kalman Filters to Reduce Noise from RFID Location System by Pedro Henriques Abreu, José Xavier, Daniel Castro Silva, Luís Paulo Reis, Marcelo Petry

“…However, the developers some time neglect the noise introduced by these systems, which prevents these systems from reaching their full potential. Focused on this problem, in this research work a comparison study between three different filters was performed in order to reduce the noise introduced by a location system based on RFID UWB technology with an associated error of approximately 18 cm. …”
