This paper presents an FIR (Finite Impulse Response) fixed-interval smoothing filter for fast and exact estimating state variables of a discrete nonlinear system with modeling uncertainty. Conventional IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter and smoothing filter can estimate state variables of a system with an exact model when the system is observable. When there is an uncertainty in the system model, however, conventional IIR filter and smoothing filter may cause large errors because the filters cannot estimate the state variables corresponding to the uncertain model exactly. To solve this problem, FIR filters that have fast estimation properties and have robustness to the modeling uncertainty have been developed. However, there is time-delay estimation phenomenon in the FIR filter. The FIR smoothing filter proposed in this paper makes up for the drawbacks of the IIR filter, IIR smoothing filter, and FIR filter. Therefore, the FIR smoothing filter has good estimation performance irrespective of modeling uncertainty. The proposed FIR smoothing filter is applied to the integrated navigation system composed of a magnetic compass based DR (Dead Reckoning) and a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. Even when the magnetic compass error that changes largely as the surrounding magnetic field is modeled as a random constant, it is shown that the FIR smoothing filter can estimate the varying magnetic compass error fast and exactly with simulation results.

Accidents involving electric equipment and economical loss by power quality deterioration related to harmonics show a rising tendency A passive filter is economic and efficient in suppressing harmonics but many engineers and designers are reluctant to install a passive filter to defect harmonics at their power system because of problems such as harmonic amplification and the probability of generating series or parallel resonance with the power system. This work introduces that passive filters will be very available to defeat harmonic problems of the power system if passive filters are well designed. We describe method and process of harmonic passive filter design. And the passive filter for the power system having harmonic problems due to use of nonlinear loads like as 100HP DC motor system, an extruding machine, an air blower and other loads are designed. Experimental results verify the performance of the passive filter designed by the described method and procedure.

Digital satellite communication channels have nonlinearities with memory due to saturation characteristics of traveling wave tube amplifier in the satellite and transmitter/receiver linear filters. In this paper, we propose a network structure and a learning algorithm for complex pi-sigma network (CPSK) and exploit CPSN in the problem of equalization of nonlinear satellite channels. The proposed CPSN is a complex-valued extension of real-valued pi-sigma network that is a higher-order feedforward network with fast learning while greatly reducing network complexity by utilizing efficient form of polynomials for many input variables. The performance of the proposed CPSN is demonstrated by computer simulations on the equalization of complex-valued QPSK input symbols distorted by a nonlinear channel modeled as a Volterra series and additive noise. The results indicate that the CPSN shows good equalization performance, fast convergence, and less computations as compared to conventional higher-order models such as Volterra filters.

Former times Information Technology generally has only depended on text or sound, while nowadays information is being moved through a variety of image media. Cell phone, TV and computer have been major elements of modem society as mediators using image signal. Therefore, image signal processing also has been treated importantly and done actively. The processing has been developed in many fields of digital image processing technologies as image data compression, recognition, restoration, etc. Noises are inevitably generated by using the signals during the processing, and typical types of the noise are Impulse(salt & pepper) and AWGN(Addiction White Gaussian Noise). To reduce the noise, various kinds of filters have been developed, and according to each noise, it is being used different filter each. However, the noise is not generated by one signal but by a complex. In this paper, I suggested an image filter to remove the complex noise, and compared with existing filters' methods for verification.

Dynamic behavior of the harmonic detection part of an active power filter (APF) has an essential role in filter compensation performances during transient conditions. Instantaneous power (p-q) theory is extensively used to design harmonic detectors for active filters. Large overshoot of p-q theory method deteriorates filter response at a large and rapid load change. In this study the harmonic estimation of an APF during transient conditions for balanced three-phase nonlinear loads is conducted. A novel fuzzy instantaneous power (FIP) theory is proposed to improve conventional p-q theory dynamic performances during transient conditions to adapt automatically to any random and rapid nonlinear load change. Adding fuzzy rules in p-q theory improves the decomposition of the alternating current components of active and reactive power signals and develops correct reference during rapid and random current variation. Modifying p-q theory internal high-pass filter performance using fuzzy rules without any drawback is a prospect. In the simulated system using MATLAB/SIMULINK, the shunt active filter is connected to a rapidly time-varying nonlinear load. The harmonic detection parts of the shunt active filter are developed for FIP theory-based and p-q theory-based algorithms. The harmonic detector hardware is also developed using the TMS320F28335 digital signal processor and connected to a laboratory nonlinear load. The software is developed for FIP theory-based and p-q theory-based algorithms. The simulation and experimental tests results verify the ability of the new technique in harmonic detection of rapid changing nonlinear loads.

Harmonics and fundamental reactive current of nonlinear loads in serious unbalanced power condition, are compensated by current synchronous detection(CSD) theory which is also acceptable for single phase power system. But, the CSD theory is not suitable any more, in case of controlled independently harmonics and reactive component. Therefore, a new algorithm, the expanded current synchronous detection(ECSD) theory for a three phase active power filter based on decomposition of fundamental reactive, distorted components, is proposed in this paper. The proposed ECSD theory is experimented and tested comparison with a few power theories under asymmetrical condition in power system.

When an image with spot noise is smoothed by smoothing filters, the noise is almost eliminated However, the image is blurred. The algorithm that reduces such an image blurring is proposed in this paper. In the algorithm, the difference between noisy image and median filtered noisy image is smoothed. As the re-smoothing method, the absolute value of the difference is median filtered and the sign of the difference is affixed on the result. It is shown that the proposed algorithm is quite effective for noise elimination and also for image blurring decrease at the same time. In this paper, the algorithm is compared with the other smoothing methods.

In this paper, a Kalman filter-based sensor fusion filter that measures posture by calibrating and combining information obtained from acceleration and gyro sensors was proposed. Recent advancements in sensor network technology have required sensor fusion technology. In the proposed approach, the nonlinear system model of the filter is converted to a linear system model through a Jacobian matrix operation, and the measurement value predicted via Euler integration. The proposed filter was implemented at an operating frequency of 74 MHz using a Virtex-6 FPGA Board from Xilinx Inc. Further, the accuracy and reliability of the measured posture were validated by comparing the values obtained using the implemented filters with those from existing filters.

For robust INS/GPS navigation system, an efficient multi-filter fusion technique is proposed. In the filtering for nonlinear systems, the representative filter - EKF, and the alternative filters - RHKF filter, SPKF, etc. have individual advantages and weak points. The key concept of the multi-filter fusion is the mergence of the strong points of the filters. This paper fuses the IIR type filter - EKF and the FIR type filter - RHKF filter using the adaptive strategy. The result of the fusion has several advantages over the EKF, and the RHKF filter. The advantages include the robustness to the system uncertainty, temporary unknown bias, and so on. The multi-filter fusion technique is applied to the tightly coupled INS/GPS navigation system and the performance is verified by simulation.

A model for calculating structure interacted mechanics is proposed. A structural interaction model and controller design based on tuned mass damping (TMD) was developed to control the induced vibration. A key point is to introduce a new analytical model to evaluate the properties of the TMD that recognizes the motion-dependent nonlinear response observed in the simulations. Aiming at the problem of increased current harmonics and low efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous motors for electric vehicles due to dead time effect, a dead time compensation method based on neural network filter and current polarity detection is proposed. Firstly, the DC components and the higher harmonic components of the motor currents are obtained by virtue of what the neural network filters and the extracted harmonic currents are adjusted to the required compensation voltages by virtue of what the neural network filters. Then, the extracted DC components are used for current polarity dead time compensation control to avert the false compensation when currents approach zero. The neural network filter method extracts the required compensation voltages from the speed component and the current polarity detection compensation method obtains the required compensation voltages by discriminating the current polarity. The combination of the two methods can more precisely compensate the dead time effect of the control system to improve the control performance. Furthermore, based on the relaxed method, the intelligent approach of stability criterion can be regulated appropriately and the artificial TMD was found to be effective in reducing cross-wind vibrations.
