These studies have laid a synchronous machine (e.g., rotor’s angle and speed) is essential in solid ground for estimating the dynamic states of a power monitoring and controlling transient stability of a power system. system and also revealed some needs for further studies. It is well known that the covariance matrixes of process noise (Q) and measurement noise (R) have a significant impact on the One important problem that needs to be addressed in using Kalman filter’s performance in estimating dynamic states. The the KF is how to properly set up the covariance matrixes of conventional ad-hoc approaches for estimating the covariance process noise (i.e., Q) and measurement noise (i.e., R). Note matrixes are not adequate in achieving the best filtering performance. To address this problem, this paper proposes an that the performance of the KF is highly affected by Q and R adaptive filtering approach to adaptively estimate Q and R based [12]. Improper choice of Q and R may significantly degrade on innovation and residual to improve the dynamic state the KF’s performance and even make the filter diverge [13]. estimation accuracy of the extended Kalman filter (EKF). It is To determine Q and R, almost all the previous DSE studies shown through the simulation on the two-area model that the used an ad-hoc procedure, in which Q and R are assumed to be proposed estimation method is more robust against the initial constant during the estimation and are manually adjusted by errors in Q and R than the conventional method in estimating the dynamic states of a synchronous machine. trial-and-error approaches.

Received: 11 July 2019; Accepted: 19 August 2019; Published: 21 August 2019 Abstract: As one of the most essential technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) integrate sensor technology, embedded computing technology, and modern network and communication technology, which have become research hotspots in recent years. The localization technique, one of the key techniques for WSN research, determines the application prospects of WSNs to a great extent. The positioning errors of wireless sensor networks are mainly caused by the non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation, occurring in complicated channel environments such as the indoor conditions. Traditional techniques such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) perform unsatisfactorily in the case of NLOS. In contrast, the robust extended Kalman filter (REKF) acquires accurate position estimates by applying the robust techniques to the EKF in NLOS environments while losing efficiency in LOS. Therefore it is very hard to achieve high performance with a single filter in both LOS and NLOS environments. In this paper, a localization method using a robust extended Kalman filter and track-quality-based (REKF-TQ) fusion algorithm is proposed to mitigate the effect of NLOS errors. Firstly, the EKF and REKF are used in parallel to obtain the location estimates of mobile nodes.

I would like also to thank my supervisors Martin Hromcik at CTU and Martin Orejas, Honeywell Brno for their advice and timely help for completion of this thesis. i Abstract The objective of this thesis is to implement an unscented kalman filter for integrating INS with GPS and to analyze and compare the results with the extended kalman filter approach. In a loosely coupled integrated INS/GPS system, inertial measurements from an IMU (angular velocities and acceler- ations in body frame) are integrated by the INS to obtain a complete navi- gation solution and the GPS measurements are used to correct for the errors and avoid the inherent drift of the pure INS system. The standard approach is to use an extended kalman filter in complementary form to model the er- rors of the INS states and use the GPS measurements to estimate corrections for these errors which are then feedback to the INS. Although the unscented kalman filter is more computational intensive, it is supposed to outperform the extended kalman filter and be more robust to initial errors.

  • A More Robust Unscented Transform
    A more robust unscented transform James R. Van Zandta aMITRE Corporation, MS-M210, 202 Burlington Road, Bedford MA 01730, USA ABSTRACT The unscented transformation is extended to use extra test points beyond the minimum necessary to determine the second moments of a multivariate normal distribution. The additional test points can improve the estimated mean and variance of the transformed distribution when the transforming function or its derivatives have discontinuities. Keywords: unscented transform, extended Kalman Filter, unscented filter, discontinuous functions, uncertainty distribution 1. INTRODUCTION The representation and estimation of uncertainty is an important part of any tracking application. For linear systems, the Kalman filter1 (KF) maintains a consistent estimate of the first two moments of the state distribution:the mean and the variance. Twice each update, it must estimate the statistics of a random variable that has undergone a transformation—once to predict the future state of the system from the current state (using the process model) and once to predict the observation from the predicted state (using the observation model). The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)2 allows the Kalman filter machinery to be applied to nonlinear systems. In the EKF, the state distribution is approximated by a Gaussian random variable, and is propagated analytically through the first-order linearization (a Taylor series expansion truncated at the first order) of the nonlinear function. This can introduce substantial errors in the estimates of the mean and covariance of the transformed distribution, which can lead to sub-optimal performance and even divergence of the filter. Julier and Uhlmann have described the unscented transformation (UT) which approximates a probability distri- bution using a small number of carefully chosen test points.3 These test points are propagated through the true nonlinear system, and allow estimation of the posterior mean and covariance accurate to the third order for any nonlinearity.

The key problem of localization is the noise of the sensors. In previous research, we proposed a particle-aided unscented Kalman filter (PAUKF) to handle the localization problem in non-Gaussian noise environments. However, the previous basic PAUKF only considers the infrastructures in two dimensions (2D). This previous PAUKF 2D limitation rendered it inoperable in the real world, which is full of three-dimensional (3D) features. In this paper, we have extended the previous basic PAUKF’s particle weighting process based on the multivariable normal distribution for handling 3D features. The extended PAUKF also raises the feasibility of fusing multisource perception data into the PAUKF framework. The simulation results show that the extended PAUKF has better real-world applicability than the previous basic PAUKF. Keywords: particle-aided unscented Kalman filter; non-Gaussian; sensor fusion; localization; unscented Kalman filter 1. Introduction In recent years, the self-driving car has become the hottest topic in the automotive industry [1–4]. To make a self-driving car drive conveniently and safely, accurate identification of the vehicle’s position is one of the most important parameters.

The information received in the radar receiver was reflected by the target, that it is received with many white and Gaussian noise due to the characteristics of the transmission channel and the radar environment. After detection and location scenarios, the radar system must track the target in real time. We aim to improve the state estimation process for too random target at the given instant in order to converge to the true target state and smooth their true path for a long time, it simplifies the process of real-time tracking. In this framework, we propose a new approach based on the numerical methods presented by MONTE CARLO (MC) counterpart the method conventionally used named Extended KALMAN Filter (EKF), we showed that the first are more successful.
