Observation Filtering: from Qualitative Simulation to Qualitative Observer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Qualitative simulation as one of the main techniques in qualitative reasoning has the great potential to solve engineering problems, only if the difficulty of ambiguity can be overcome. On the other hand in many applications measurements are available and can be used to reduce the ambiguity. We propose in this paper Qualitative Observer, which is based on qualitative simulation and applied by Observation filtering technique, to provide a framework, in which this kind of information can be utilized to reduce accumulated ambiguity and to avoid spurious solutions.

A Novel Qualitative State Observer
The state estimation of a quantized system (Q.S.) is a challenging problem for designing feedback control and model-based fault diagnosis algorithms. The core of a Q.S. is a continuous variable system whose inputs and outputs are represented by their corresponding quantized values. This paper concerns with state estimation of a Q.S. by a qualitative observer. The presented observer in this pape...
متن کاملNew Optimal Observer Design Based on State Prediction for a Class of Non-linear Systems Through Approximation
This paper deals with the optimal state observer of non-linear systems based on a new strategy. Despite the development of state prediction in linear systems, state prediction for non-linear systems is still challenging. In this paper, to obtain a future estimation of the system states, initially Taylor series expansion of states in their receding horizons was achieved to any specified order an...

The problem of observer design for nonlinear systems has got great attention in the recent literature. The nonlinear observer has been a topic of interest in control theory. In this research, a modified robust sliding-mode observer (SMO) is designed to accurately estimate the state variables of nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances and model uncertainties. The observer has a simple ...
متن کاملSimulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملImproved Infinity Filtering in Qualitative Simulation
We present two modifications to the qualitative simulation algorithm QSIM, which improve its performance in reasoning tasks involving infinite values and infinite time. The first modification corrects an error in the multiplication filter which causes the algorithm to miss certain real solutions of the simulated equation. The soundness property, which is essential for qualitative simulators, is...
