The filter has 2 steps: prediction and update. The prediction step estimates the next value using the previous estimate and the rate of change (over the timestep). The update step utilizes the alpha and beta parameters to adjust the estimate based on the residual error (difference between the predicted and measured value from the sensor). +An Alpha-Beta filter [3] is a simple filter that produce a more accurate estimate of a sensor reading by estimating both the value and the rate of change of the value.
