The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up
They are widely used in narrow circles :)
Two of (arguably the best) open source RC aircraft flight controllers (ArduPilot and PX4) are using extended Kalman filters in their state estimators (essentially sensor fusion that provides attitude/position estimate):

I'm not that familiar with cleanflight/betaflight/inav scene to know what the FPV racer flight controllers use.

here pro vs here 4 GNSS RTK performance
Trimble also has some nice stuff, I think the BD940 is interesting. I do not know if it's recommended or not, but Ardupilot has a driver for the Septentrio GPS (https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_GPS/AP_GPS_SBF.cpp), as well for Trimble GPS (https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/libraries/AP_GPS/AP_GPS_GSOF.cpp). So people have used these brands for drones.

Robotics team is entering in an autonomous boat competition, need some advice.
I'd like to emphasize the reference to Ardupilot bc there is a lot of material already developed there: a lot about navigation and guidance from UAVs, and the low-level stuff. Check this out
- Does anyone know about a good avionics related open source project for learning purposes?

What are some alternatives?
When comparing paparazzi and ardupilot you can also consider the following projects:
