Sensor systems are not always equipped with the ability to track targets. Sudden maneuvers of a target can have a great impact on the sensor system, which will increase the miss rate and rate of false target detection. The use of the generic particle filter (PF) algorithm is well known for target tracking, but it can not overcome the degeneracy of particles and cumulation of estimation errors. ...

State estimation is the common problem in every area of engineering. There are different filters used to overcome the problem of state estimation like Kalman filter, Particle filters etc. Kalman Filter is popular when the system is linear but when the system is highly non-linear then the different derivatives of Kalman Filter are used like Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Unscented Kalman filter. ...

Satellite autonomous orbit determination OD is a complex process using filtering method to integrate observation and orbit dynamic equations effectively and estimate the position and velocity of a satellite. Therefore, the filtering method plays an important role in autonomous orbit determination accuracy and time consumption. Extended Kalman filter EKF , unscented Kalman filter UKF , and unsce...

Accurate and efficient orbital propagators are critical for space situational awareness because they drive uncertainty propagation which is necessary for tracking, conjunction analysis, and maneuver detection. Existing sigma pointor particle-based methods for uncertainty propagation use explicit numerical integrators for propagating the closely spaced orbital states as part of the prediction st...

The Kalman filter is the optimal minimum-variance state estimator for linear dynamic systems with Gaussian noise. In addition, the Kalman filter is the optimal linear state estimator for linear dynamic systems with non-Gaussian noise. For nonlinear systems various modifications of the Kalman filter (e.g., the extended Kalman filter, the unscented Kalman filter, and the particle filter) have bee...

This paper presents the novel method of mobile robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), which is implemented by using the Rao-Blackwellised particle filter (RBPF) for monocular vision-based autonomous robot in unknown indoor environment. The particle filter is combined with unscented Kalman filter (UKF) to extending the path posterior by sampling new poses that integrate the current ...

This paper describes the application of an unscented Kalman filter to a coal runof-mine bin. A dynamic model of the bin is derived using the principle of mass conservation. The dynamic model is nonlinear with unknown parameters that are identified using actual plant production data. The identified dynamic model is used by an unscented Kalman filter to update the states of the system to improve ...

Robust nonlinear integrated navigation of GPS and low cost MEMS is a hot topic of research these days. A robust filter is required to cope up with the problem of unpredictable discontinuities and colored noises associated with low cost sensors. H∞ filter is previously used in Extended Kalman filter and Unscented Kalman filter frame. Unscented Kalman filter has a problem of Cholesky matrix facto...
