| This 
                          program provides instruction in basic principles and 
                          practical techniques of particle filters, which are 
                          being introduced in universities and laboratories throughout 
                          the world. Filters are methods to obtain state estimation 
                          from noisy observations, and one example of them is 
                          the Kalamn filter, which has been used to estimate the 
                          orbit of the spaceship in the Apollo mission. By approximating 
                          a probability distribution using multiple particles, 
                          particle filters have overcome limitations of the Kalman 
                          filter, making it possible to use nonlinear non-Gaussian 
                          state space models. Applied in a very broad range of 
                          research, they are used in robots localization and recognition 
                          of the surrounding environment, in visual tracking, 
                          in intelligent sensing by fusion of voice, images and 
                          other signals, in driver supports by estimating a driver's 
                          intention, and so on. Come and challenge the issues, 
                          which have never been solved, with particle filters 
                          capable of describing this dynamically changing world 
                          in broad and general. |
