In this lecture, we introduce the basics of distributed estimation. We consider both static sensor fusion and distributed Kalman filtering. We discuss some existing algorithms, and point out some open problems.

This papers makes use of the information form of the Kalman filter to formulate a Kalman filter with no central fusion node but full connectivity.
