Basically, I get inputs from aircraft (lon, lat) point to track it. To do this I implemented the openCV Kalman filter algorithm but Kalman filter gives me following result. 

lon = 37.461758852005005 => 63 (big difference)

lat = 126.43827617168427 => 18

=======================================

lon = 126.43832445144653 => 84

lat = 37.461774945259094 => 25

=======================================

lon = 126.43832445144653 => 95

lat = 37.461774945259094 => 28

=======================================

lon = 126.43837273120880 => 102

lat = 37.461817860603333 => 30

=======================================

lon = 126.43846929073334 => 107

lat = 37.461855411529541 => 31

=======================================

lon = 126.43851757049561 => 111

lat = 37.461909055709839 => 32

=======================================

lon = 126.43856585025787 => 114

lat = 37.461919784545898 => 33 


What I have tried:

  struct LonLat
  { 
    double Lat;
    double Lon;  

    LonLat(double lat, double lon )
        :Lat(lat), Lon(lon) 
    {  
    }

    LonLat()
    {
        Lat = 0.0;
        Lon = 0.0; 
    }

    bool operator == (const LonLat& other )
    {
        return (this->Lat == other.Lat && this->Lon == other.Lon);
    }

    bool checkFilterRange() const
    {
        if (cLat > 90 || cLat < -90) return false;
        if (cLon > 180 || cLon < -180) return false;

        return true;
    }

    void copy(const LonLat& other)
    {
        this->Lat = other.Lat;
        this->Lon = other.Lon; 
    }
  }; 
   
class FilterError
{
   public:
        FilterError()
        {
          _errorPoint = false;
          _kalman= cv::KalmanFilter(4, 2, 0);
          _measurement = cv::Mat_<float>(2, 1); 
          _measurement.setTo(cv::Scalar(0)); 
          _delta_t = 1 / 20.0;
        } 
        ~FilterError()
        {}  
        void filterKalman(LonLat& lonLat)
        {
            if (!_entered) 
            {
              _kalman.transitionMatrix = (Mat_<float>(4, 4) << 1, 0, _delta_t, 0, 0, 1, 0, _delta_t, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
            int k = 5;
            _kalman.statePre.at<float>(0) = (float)lonLat.Lon;
            _kalman.statePre.at<float>(1) = (float)lonLat.Lat;
            _kalman.statePre.at<float>(2) = 0;
            _kalman.statePre.at<float>(3) = 0;
            setIdentity(_kalman.measurementMatrix);
            setIdentity(_kalman.processNoiseCov, Scalar::all(1e-4));
            setIdentity(_kalman.measurementNoiseCov, Scalar::all(1e-1));
            setIdentity(_kalman.errorCovPost, Scalar::all(.1));
            _entered = true;
            }
            Mat prediction = _kalman.predict();
            Point predictPt(prediction.at<float>(0), prediction.at<float>(1));

           _measurement(0) = (float)lonLat.Lon;
           _measurement(1) = (float)lonLat.Lat;

           Mat estimated = _kalman.correct(_measurement);

           Point statePt(estimated.at<float>(0), estimated.at<float>(1));
           lonLat.Lon = statePt.x;
           lonLat.Lat = statePt.y;

        } 
   private:
       bool _entered;
       cv::KalmanFilter _kalman;
       cv::Mat_<float> _measurement;
  }

Do you have a question?

1 solution

You better start with reading some Kalman example implementation to understand what is going on. When using some library it is important to understand the details to not misuse the library and its details.
Afte that I recommend that you write some tests with simple and well known example data so you are sure that you are doing everything correct.
The last ressort is to contact someone who was working on it. Like your teachers or fellows.

Thank you so much sir

I have solved the problem by converting world coordinate to pixel. I mean lon and lat to the pixel coordinate then kalman filter gave a good result.
