In this paper, two methods (Kalman filter and Conventional) are investigated to reduce the bias error in the INS (Intertial Navigation System) vertical channel. The schemes by these methods show better performance (estimation error and response) than the others commonly used. Comparison results show that the scheme by Kalman filter method gives much better performance than the Conventional method.

The robot localization problem is a key problem in making truly autonomous robots. In this work we provide thorough discussions of Ultrasonic Positioning System can be applied to the localization problem. First, we look at the use of Kalman filters and basic concept and the equation involved in Kalman filters. Secondly, we create understanding of how the Kalman filters can be implemented in robot localization. We show our discussion and experiments how Kalman filters applied to the localization problem. Lastly, we perform simulations using Usat Wheel Chair robot in our own general Kalman filters robot monitoring software.

With precise GPS carrier positioning result, we can get attitude information if GPS antenna has adequate attaching position on the vehicle. In this case, baseline length information can be bandied as an additional measurement or constraint. In this paper, we have proposed a method to improve the attitude accuracy. To overcome nonlinearity of baseline observation model, we analyze attitude estimation result using existing estimation method like a least square method and Kalman filter, and apply a new nonlinear estimation method an unscented Kalman filter Finally we confirm the improvement of attitude estimation result in the case of appling the unscented Kalman filter.

An angle error is a factor obstructing to track accurate position in tracking radars. And the noise incurring the angle error can be divided as follows; thermal noise and glint. In general, Extended Kalman filter used in tracking radars is designed with considering thermal noise only. The Extended Klaman filter uses a fixed measurement error covariance when updating an estimate state by using ahead state and measurement. But, a noise power varies according to the range. Therefore we purposes the adaptive Kalman filter which changes the measurement noise covariance according to the range. In this paper, we compare the performance of the Extended Kalman filter and the proposed adaptive Kalman filter by considering KSLV-I (Korean Satellite Launch Vehicles).

A parallel processing algorithm for the discrete Kalman filter, which is one of the most commonly used filtering techniques in modern control, signal processing, and communication, is proposed. To decrease the number of computations critical in the Kalman filter, previously proposed parallel algorithms are of the hierarchical structure by distributed processing of measurements, or of the systolic structure to disperse the computational burden. In this paper, a new parallel Kalman filter employing a structure similar to recursive doubling is proposed. Estimated valuse of state variables by the new algorithm converge faster to the true values because the new algorithm can process data twice faster than the conventional Kalman filter. Moreover, it maintains the optimality of the conventional Kalman filter.

In this study, an effective estimation method of wheel acceleration is presented. The wheel acceleration is mainly used in the ABS(anti-lick brake system) and the TCS(traction control system). The wheel acceleration is a derivative term of the wheel speed which is generally measured by the wheel speed sensors. The results of a simple differentiation of the signal and an observation of the signal by Kalman filter show that Kalman filter has better performance than the simple differentiation. The differentiated sine signal which is contaminated with random noise shows a rugged signal compared with the signal which is filtered by the Kalman filter. The covariance of the differentiated signal is higher than that of the Kalman-filtered signal, too. The presented Kalman filter technique shows an effective way of solution to get the estimated wheel acceleration value which is sufficient to be applied to ABS or TCS control algorithms.

In small area estimation, Best Linear Unbaised Predictor(BLUP) can be directly implicated ,specially, in use of the time series estimation. If there are correlations between observations and error terms over the time, Kalman Filter method can be used. Therefore, using kalman Filtering technique small area estimation of total of unemployments are estimated by BLUP. And for the example of this study, Economic Active Population Survey data were used.

In recent, Kalman filter technique has been much used as one of technique for tracking of the moving target. But some problem are still remained to be resolved. For example, when Kalman filter technique is applied to nonlinear system, the technique is nonoptimal estimator. Therefore, extended Kalman filter is proposed to reduce modeling error for nonlinear system. In this study, an extended Kalman filter in Cartesian coordinates is described for moving target, when the radar sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle in polar coordinates. And an approximate gain computation algorithm is proposed. In this approach, Kalman gains are computed for three uncoupled filter and multiplied by a Jacobian transformation determined from the measured target position and orientation.

본 연구에서는 저속에서 발생하는 측정잡음에 대한 문제를 불규칙 확률시스템으로 고려하여 Kalman 필터를 관측자로서 사용하고 고속에서뿐만 아니라 저속에서의 위치와 속도 추정성능을 향상시키고자 한다. Kalman 필터는 확률적 외란을 포함하고 있는 동적시스템에 적용되는 최적상태 추정자이다. 또한 이 Kalman 필터는 외란을 가지는 이산형 실시간 동적 처리 시스템에서 최적의 미지 상태를 추정하기 위해 선형, 불편향, 그리고 최소 오차분산 회귀형 알고리즘을 제공한다. 또한, MRAS(Model Reference Adaptive System) 방법을 이용하여 모터와 부하에 대응되는 기계적 시정수를 동정한다. 이 방법은 기계적인 시정수가 알려지지 않은 시스템에 적용하여 위치와 속도의 추정을 가능하게 하기 위해서이다. 더욱이 동정의 결과를 이용하여 Kalman 필터 알고리즘에 적용한다.
