Could the Kalman Filter idea be applied to human witnesses to an event, where you model the person as a faulty sensor?

- alex_be 6mo agoKalman filter is about combining uncertain measurements, and human observations could be viewed as noisy sensors. On the other hand, the standard KF assumes unbiased sensors with Gaussian noise, and I don't know if those assumptions hold for human witnesses.
- pmarreck 6mo agoThat's an interesting wrinkle. How would you model the potential bias in order to neutralize it though? Or would enough measurements simply cancel out any bias (or be very likely to)?
