The Kalman filter cannot be used with nonstationary state space models. To circumvent this difficulty, a conditional state space model and a new algorithm, calIed the conditional Kalman filter, can be used. The conditional state space model is obtained by first selecting adequately that part oof the initial state vector which has an unspecified distribution and then conditioning on O. Using the...

This article presents a novel fuzzy–logic based multi-sensor data fusion algorithm for combining heading estimates from three separate weighted interval Kalman filters to construct a robust, fault-tolerant heading estimator for the navigation of the Springer autonomous surface vehicle. A single, low-cost gyroscopic unit and three independent compasses are used to acquire data onboard the vehicl...

A novel digital image stabilization technique is proposed in this paper. It is based on a fuzzy Kalman compensation of the global motion vector (GMV), which is estimated in the log-polar plane. The GMV is extracted using four local motion vectors (LMVs) computed on respective subimages in the logpolar plane. The fuzzy Kalman system consists of a fuzzy system with the Kalman filter’s discrete ti...

This is a survey paper.The performance of the Kalman filter (KF), which is Algoritstandard as an outstanding implementation for dynamic system state estimation, greatly depends on its parameter R, called the measurement noise covariance matrix. . However, it’s difficult to obtain the accurate value of R before the filter starts, and the value of R is possible to change with the measurement envi...

This paper presents a methodology for data cleaning of sensor data using the Kalman filter. The Kalman filter is an on-line algorithm and as such is ideal for usage on the sensor data streams. The Kalman filter learns parameters of a user-specified underlying model which models the phenomena the sensor is measuring. Usage of the Kalman filter is proposed to predict the expected values of the me...

An industrial robot today uses measurements of its joint positions and models of its kinematics and dynamics to estimate and control its end-effector position. Substantially better end-effector position estimation and control performance would be obtainable if direct measurements of its end-effector position were also used. The subject of this paper is extended Kalman filtering for precise esti...

Using direction vectors of unit length as measurements for attitude estimation in an extended Kalman filter inevitably results in a singular measurement covariance matrix. Singularity of the measurement covariance means no noise is present in one component of the measurement. Unit vector measurements have no noise in the radial component. Singular measurement covariances can be dealt with by th...
