Kalman Filter A numerical method used to track a time varying signal in the presence of noise. If the signal can be characterised by some number of parameters that vary slowly with time, then Kalman Filtering can be used to tell how incoming raw measurements should be processed to best estimate those parameters as a function of time.
Keplerian orbital elements These give a description of any astronomical orbit:

a: Semi-major Axis

e: Eccentricity

o: Argument of Perigee

l: Right ascension of ascending node

i Inclination

t: True anomaly

Kinematic positioning Kinematic positioning refers to applications in which the position of a non-stationary object (automobile, ship, bicycle) is determined.
Kinematic Surveying A form of continuous differential carrier phase surveying. Operational constraints include starting from a known baseline and tracking a minimum of four satellites at all times when moving between each survey position. One receiver is located at a control point, while another or others are moved between points to be measured. If positions for all epochs during measurement are required, it is known as a continuous kinematic survey. If positions are required only at those points where the movement has stopped is called a Stop and Go kinematic survey. The latter is commonly used for detail or topographic survey.
