  • The phenomenon of simple harmonic motion is more vigilantly explained using a simple pendulum. The angular motion of a pendulum is linear in nature. But the analysis of the motion along the horizontal direction is non-linear. To estimate this, several algorithms like the Kalman filter, Extended Kalman Filter etc. are adopted. Here in this paper, Particle filter is chosen which is a method to form Monte Carlo approximations to the solutions of Bayesian filtering equations. Sequential importance resampling based Particle filters are used where the filtering distributions are multi-nodal or consist of discrete state components since under these circumstances the Bayesian approximations do not always work well.
