<p>A Bayes filter is an algorithm used in <a href="Computer_science" title="Computer science">computer science</a> for calculating the probabilities of multiple beliefs to allow a <a href="Robot" title="Robot">robot</a> to infer its position and orientation. Essentially, Bayes filters allow robots to continuously update their most likely position within a coordinate system, based on the most recently acquired sensor data. This is a recursive algorithm. It consists of two parts: prediction and innovation. If the variables are <a href="Normal_Distribution" class="mw-redirect" title="Normal Distribution">normally distributed</a> and the transitions are linear, the Bayes filter becomes equal to the <a href="Kalman_filter" title="Kalman filter">Kalman filter</a>.
</p><p>In a simple example, a robot moving throughout a grid may have several different sensors that provide it with information about its surroundings. The robot may begin with certainty that it is at position (0,0). However, as it moves further and further from its original position, the robot has continuously less certainty about its position; using a Bayes filter, a probability can be assigned to the robot's belief about its current position, and that probability can be continuously updated from additional sensor information.

<p>However, when using the Kalman filter to estimate the state <b>x</b>, the probability distribution of interest is associated with the current states conditioned on the measurements up to the current timestep.

</p><p>This leads to the <i>predict</i> and <i>update</i> steps of the Kalman filter written probabilistically.

<p>Sequential Bayesian filtering is the extension of the Bayesian estimation for the case when the observed value changes in time. It is a method to estimate the real value of an observed variable that evolves in time.
</p><p>There are several variations:
</p>
<dl><dt>filtering</dt>
<dd>when estimating the <i>current</i> value given past and current observations,</dd>
<dt><a href="Smoothing_problem" class="mw-redirect" title="Smoothing problem">smoothing</a></dt>
<dd>when estimating <i>past</i> values given past and current observations, and</dd>
