Predictive filter theory proposed recently can be characterized by inherent advantages of estimating modelling error and overcoming the disadvantage of the Kalman filter theory. A one-step ahead error is minimized to produce optimized filter performance in the form of the predictive filter. The main advantage of this filter lies in the ability to estimate both state vector and system model error. In this paper, attitude estimation results based upon the predictive filter theory is addressed. Mathematical formulation for estimating bias signal is peformed by using the predictive filter theory, and attitude estimation based upon vector observation is presented. From the results of this study, the potential applicability of the predictive filter is highlighted.

This paper compares the performance of several tracking filters, namely, alpha-beta filter, Kalman filter and TBM tracking filter for ballistic target tracking problem using multi-function radar. Every of three tracking filters suggested was tested on simulator developed in accordance with TBM trajectory and MFR RSP measurement. The result shows the method using TBM tracking filter gives 75.3 % decreased velocity RMS error than alpha-beta filter. After initialization, the RMS error of range and velocity of the proposed filter is also smaller than the Kalman filter. Finally the proposed filter is suitable for high-speed TBM tracking due to the stable angle tracking accuracy.

컴퓨터 시각 인식 방법을 이용하여 얼굴의 3차원 움직임 량을 추정하고자 하는 연구는 가상 현실 환경에서 얼굴 움직임에 의한 3차원 그래픽 화면 조정, 시뮬레이터에서의 훈련자 얼굴 움직임에 의한 화면 조정 및 모니터상의 시선 위치 파악 등을 위해 필수적으로 요구되는 기술로서 최근 활발히 연구되고 있다. 기존에 얼굴의 3차원 움직임 량을 추정하고자 하는 연구들은 대부분 확장 칼만 필터(extended kalman filter)를 이용하였으나, 이러한 방법은 필터의 초기 값을 정확하게 설정해야하는 제약 요소를 갖고 있으며, 또한 얼굴의 회전 방향 변화 시 이에 대처하지 못하는 경우 역시 종종 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 확장 칼만 필터의 변형 형태인 반복적 확장 칼만 필터를 이용하여 얼굴의 3차원 움직임 량을 추정하였다. 반복적 확장 칼만 필터에서는 확장 칼만 필터에서 계산되어 나오는 추정 오차 공분산 행렬 값이 미리 정해진 임계치보다 커지는 경우, 현재 얼굴의 움직임 량을 제대로 추정하지 못하고 있는 것으로 판단하여 칼만 필터에서 사용하는 회전 및 이동 속도, 그리고 회전 및 이동 각 속도를 변형함으로써 얼굴의 움직임 량을 정확하게 추정할 수 있도록 하는 방법이다. 실험 결과 반복적 확장 칼만 필터를 사용하였을 경우에 얼굴의 급격한 회전 방향 변화에도 얼굴의 3차원 움직임 량을 정확하게 추정할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a parallel reduced-order square-root unscented Kalman filter for state estimation of a sensorless permanent-magnet synchronous motor. The appearance of an unscented Kalman filter is caused by the linearization process error between a real system and classical Kalman model. The unscented transformation can make a more accurate Kalman model. However, the complexity is its main drawback. This paper investigates the design and implementation of the proposed filter with Potter and Carlson square-root form. The proposed parallel reduced-order square-root unscented Kalman filter reduces memory and code size, and improves numerical computation. And the performance is not significantly different from the unscented Kalman filter. The experimentation is performed for the verification of the proposed filter.

This paper proposes a federated Kalman filter approach which utilizes information from multiple sensors and variable estimation model. Compared with the decentralized Kalman filter, the algorithm proposed in this paper demonstrates much better tracking performance in both maneuvering and constant velocity movement of the target.

In this study, Kalman filtering theory is applied to the estimation of symmetrical components from fault voltage and current signal when it comes to faults with the power system. An algorithm for estimating fault location accurately and quickly by calculating the symmetrical components from the extracted fundamental voltage phasor and current phasor is presented. Also, to confirm the validity of digital distance relaying techniques using Kalman filtering, the experimental results obtained by using the digital simulation of power system is shown.

Conventional magnetic levitation systems could show unsatisfactory performance under air-gap disturbance due to rail irregularities. In this paper, we propose a feedback control system with discrete Kalman filter for air-gap disturbance attenuation. It is shown that excellent system performance can be obtained with the use of discrete Kalman filter, and that results from experiments agree well with those of simulations.

In this paper, we propose the localization method on WSN(Wireless Sensor Network) using fuzzy model and Kalman filter. The proposed method is as follows: First, we estimate the distance of RSSI(Receive Signal Strength Index) by using fuzzy model in order to minimize the distance error. Second, we use a triangulation measurement for estimating the localization. And then, we minimize the localization error using a Kalman filter. Finally, we show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through some experiments.

This paper is concerned with attitude estimation using low cost, small-sized accelerometers and gyroscopes. A two step extended Kalman filter is proposed, which adaptively compensates external acceleration. External acceleration is the main source of estimation error. In the proposed filter, direction of external acceleration is estimated. According to the estimated direction, the accelerometer measurement covariance matrix of the two step extended Kalman filter is adjusted. The proposed algorithm is verified through experiments.

If a moving target has a linear characteristics, the Kalman filter can estimate relatively accurate the location of a target, but this performance depends on how the dynamic status characteristics of the target is accurately modeled. In many practical problems of tracking a maneuvering target, a simple kinematic model can fairly accurately describe the target dynamics for a wide class of maneuvers. However, since the target can exhibit a wide range of dynamic characteristics, no fixed SKF(Simple Kalman filter) can be matched to estimate, to the required accuracy, the states of the target for every specific maneuver. In this paper, a new AKF(Active Kalman filter) is proposed to solve this problem The process noise covariance level of the Kalman filter is adjusted at each time step according to the study result which uses the neural network algorithm. It is demonstrated by means of a computer simulation that the tracking capability of the proposed AKF(Active Kalman filter) is better than that of the SKF(Simple Kalman Filter).
