A new Gaussian mixture filter has been developed, one that uses a re-sampling step in order to limit the covariances of its individual Gaussian components. The new filter has been designed to produce accurate solutions of difficult nonlinear/nonBayesian estimation problems. It uses static multiple-model filter calculations and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) approximations for each Gaussian mixand...

In order to solve the problem that measured values of key state parameters such as lateral velocity and yaw rate vehicle are easily interfered by random errors, a filter estimation method is proposed based on principle robust filtering unscented particle algorithm. Based establishment 3-DOF non-linear dynamic model Dugoff tire vehicle, adaptive filter(ARUPF) used estimate state, realize longitu...

To solve the problem of tracking an acoustic source in noise and reverberation environment, a new method is proposed in pursuit of higher accuracy. First, this paper improves the unscented particle filter, which can add the latest measurement information to optimize the proposal distribution. Then, the likelihood function is constructed by calculating the microphone arrays’ output energy in the...

Moving object tracking is one of the typical applications in wireless sensor network (WSN). As a result, a lot of important solutions have been proposed in the last decade, toward addressing different aspects of object tracking in WSN settings. This work describes an Unscented particle filter (UPF) based Moving Object Tracking algorithm, UMOT, in WSN settings, where the sensor nodes are cluster...

We present an articulated tracking system working with data from a single narrow baseline stereo camera. The use of stereo data allows for some depth disambiguation, a common issue in articulated tracking, which in turn yields likelihoods that are practically unimodal. While current state-of-the-art trackers utilize particle filters, our unimodal likelihood model allows us to use an unscented K...

Boost phase missile tracking is formulated as a nonlinear parameter estimation problem, initialized with an unscented transformation, and updated with a scaled unscented Kalman filter.

In the several past years, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) havebecame basic algorithm for state-variables and parameters estimation of discrete nonlinear systems.The UKF has consistently outperformed for estimation. Sometimes least estimation error doesn't yieldwith UKF for the most nonlinear systems. In this paper, we use a new approach for a two variablestate no...

Kalman filter is a frequently used tool for linear state estimation due to its simplicity and optimality. It can further be used for fusion of information obtained from multiple sensors. Kalman filtering is also often applied to nonlinear systems. As the direct application of bayesian functional recursion is computationally not feasible, approaches commonly taken use either a local approximatio...

This paper develops an unscented grid-based filter and a smoother for accurate nonlinear modeling and analysis of time series. The filter uses unscented deterministic sampling during both the time and measurement updating phases, to approximate directly the distributions of the latent state variable. A complementary grid smoother is also made to enable computing of the likelihood. This helps us...
