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 ...

The extended Kalman filter, which linearizes the relationship between security prices and state variables, is widely used in fixed income applications. We investigate if the unscented Kalman filter should be used to capture nonlinearities, and compare the performance of the Kalman filter to that of the particle filter. We analyze the cross section of swap rates, which are mildly nonlinear in th...

The unscented Kalman filter is a superior alternative to the extended Kalman filter for a variety of estimation and control problems. However, its effectiveness for improving human motion tracking for virtual reality applications in the presence of noisy data has been unexplored. In this paper, we present an empirical study comparing the performance of unscented and extended Kalman filtering fo...

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...

Two different previously proposed Extended Kalman Filter based chaotic schemes are revisited and implemented using the Unscented Kalman Filter. Also, a recently proposed antipodal chaotic communication scheme is implemented with both the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unsc...

In this paper, we consider chaotic communication using nonlinear filtering techniques. The main contribution of the paper is proposing a novel antipodal chaotic communication scheme, which is implemented with both the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unscented Kalman Filter. Two different previously proposed Extended Kalman Filter based chaotic schemes are also revisited and implemented using the...

This paper describes a Kalman filter for the real-time estimation of a rigid body orientation from measurements of acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field strength. A quaternion representation of the orientation is computationally effective and avoids problems with singularities. The nonlinear relationship between estimated orientation and expected measurement prevent the usage of a c...

In this paper, after defining pure proportional navigation guidance in the 3-dimensional state from a new point of view, range estimation for passive homing missiles isexplained. Modeling has been performed by using line of sight coordinates with a particulardefinition. To obtain convergent estimates of those state variables involved particularly inrange channel and unavailable from IR trackers...
