Application of the Kalman filter to iceberg motion forecating

The objective of this study is to develop an application of the Kalman filter for filtering and forecasting iceberg positions and velocities in order to calculate the risk of impact against a fixed structure or stationary vessel. Existing physical and probabilistic models are reviewed. Physical mod...
