Question 1.
In state estimation using Extended Kalman filter, Is there a way to determine noise covariance matrices (Q & R) other than the try and error method? as I only have access to a simulation of the model, and the parameters optimized in the simulation may not work as expected in real-life applications.
I was thinking that maybe there is a way to initialize Q and R with some random values and with some technique we let them converge.
Question 2.
Regarding linearization of the motion model and measurement model, should any additive noise be added? if so, what for? and how to determine noise values?
