Use localization and pose estimation algorithms to orient your vehicle in your environment. Sensor pose estimation uses filters to improve and combine sensor readings for IMU, GPS, and others. Localization algorithms, like Monte Carlo localization and scan matching, estimate your pose in a known map using range sensor or lidar readings. Pose graphs track your estimated poses and can be optimized based on edge constraints and loop closures. For simultaneous localization and mapping, see SLAM.

To use the stateEstimatorPF
(Robotics System Toolbox) particle filter, you must specify parameters such as the number of particles, the initial particle location, and the state estimation method.
A particle filter is a recursive, Bayesian state estimator that uses discrete particles to approximate the posterior distribution of the estimated state.
