Assessing Performance of Bayesian State-Space Models Fit to Argos Satellite Telemetry Locations Processed with Kalman Filtering
Figure 7
Fin whale #80704 tracks obtained from LS (black) and KF modelled (red) locations.
Estimated locations (circles) and tracks (lines) of fin whale #89969 obtained from fitting a switching state-space model to Least Squares (LS) (black) and full Kalman filtered (KF) (red) data. The 95% probability ellipses of locations derived from the LS-based model are shown in green. A. Complete tracks showing the increase in track length resulting from the application of the KF algorithm (red). B, C. Detail of the tracks showing the majority of KF locations within the 95% probability ellipses of LS locations.
