چکیده

Using mobile sensors to perform optimal measurement and estimation of a distributed parameter system in a domain of interest is considered in this paper. Given parameters, how to optimally plan the motion trajectories of the mobile sensors has been known in the literature, where the purpose of mobile sensing is to best estimate the parameters. Clearly, there is a “chick-and-egg” problem regarding the optimal mobile sensor motion planning and parameter estimation for distributed parameter systems. For the first time, this paper solved this problem by the proposed optimal interlaced mobile sensor motion planning and parameter estimation. The problem formulation is given in detail with a numerical solution for generating and refining the mobile sensor motion trajectories for parameter estimation of the distributed parameter system. The basic idea is to use the finite horizon type of scheme. First, the optimal trajectories are computed in a finite time horizon based on the assumed parameter values. For the following time horizon, the parameters of the distributed parameter system are estimated using the measured data in the previous time horizon, and the optimal trajectories are updated accordingly based on these estimated parameters obtained. Simulations are offered to illustrate the advantages of the proposed interlaced method over the non-interlaced techniques. We call the proposed scheme “on-line” or “real-time” which offers practical solutions to optimal measurement and estimation of a distributed parameter system when mobile sensors are used.

Optimal mobile sensor motion planning under non-holonomic constraints for parameter estimation of distributed systems

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical solution for a mobile sensor motion trajectory scheduling problem under nonholonomic constraints of a project named MAS-net, which stands for Mobile Actuator-Sensor network. The motivation of the MAS-net project, at the first stage, is to estimate diffusion system parameters by networked mobile sensors. Each sensor is mounted on a differentially-driven ...

Time–Optimal Path Planning of Moving Sensors for Parameter Estimation of Distributed Systems

A general approach to the optimization of the observation horizon of moving sensor trajectories for parameter estimation of distributed systems is presented. Two problems are formulated here. The first consists in maximizing the determinant of the information matrix for a specified duration of observations and an open initial time, and the other constitutes its generalization to the case where ...

Resource-Constrained Sensor Routing for Parameter Estimation of Distributed Systems

We consider a setting where mobile nodes with sensing capacity form a network whose mission is to collect measurements for parameter estimation of a distributed parameter system (DPS). Two techniques to optimize node motions are presented which constitute a tradeoff between the achievable accuracy of parameter estimates and limited motion resources of sensor network nodes. The framework is base...

Optimal Mobile Sensing Policy for Parameter Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems: Finite Horizon Closed-loop Solution

In control engineering practice, it is very common to estimate the parameters of a system given a mathematical model. Using observations or measurements, one can parameterize the model using different techniques. Sometimes, when the system to be modeled is spatially and temporally dynamic (i.e. the states depend on both time and space), common lumped parameter input-output relationships cannot ...

Mobile Sensor Routing for Parameter Estimation of Distributed Systems Using the Parallel Tunneling Method

The paper deals with the problem of optimal path planning for a sensor network with mutliple mobile nodes, whose measurements are supposed to be primarily used to estimate unknown parameters of a system modelled by a partial differential equation. The adopted framework permits to consider twoor three-dimensional spatial domains and correlated observations. Since the aim is to maximize the accur...
