Target tracking using Interactive Multiple Model for Wireless Sensor Network

Target tracking in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) environment is a challenging research problem. Interactive Multiple Model (IMM) is a popular scheme for accurate target tracking. The existing target tracking scheme used in WSN employs Kalman Filter (KF) which fails to track the target accurately due to non availability of target data at regular intervals and missing of packets. Though existing KF based tracking in WSN scheme detects the target, it fails to identify the target. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes a IMM based Target Tracking in WSN named ITTWSN that uses multiple models (velocity and acceleration) to handle both maneuvering and non maneuvering targets and multiple sensors to detect and identify the targets. The performance of the proposed ITTWSN is compared with the KF scheme and it is found that the accuracy of the proposed ITTWSN is better than the existing KF based approach.     

带观测滞后和不确定噪声方差的多智能体传感网络鲁棒序贯协方差交叉融合Kalman滤波（英文）

This paper deals with the problem of designing robust sequential covariance intersection(SCI) fusion Kalman filter for the clustering multi-agent sensor network system with measurement delays and uncertain noise variances. The sensor network is partitioned into clusters by the nearest neighbor rule. Using the minimax robust estimation principle, based on the worst-case conservative sensor network system with conservative upper bounds of noise variances, and applying the unbiased linear minimum variance(ULMV) optimal estimation rule, we present the two-layer SCI fusion robust steady-state Kalman filter which can reduce communication and computation burdens and save energy sources, and guarantee that the actual filtering error variances have a less-conservative upper-bound. A Lyapunov equation method for robustness analysis is proposed, by which the robustness of the local and fused Kalman filters is proved. The concept of the robust accuracy is presented and the robust accuracy relations of the local and fused robust Kalman filters are proved. It is proved that the robust accuracy of the global SCI fuser is higher than those of the local SCI fusers and the robust accuracies of all SCI fusers are higher than that of each local robust Kalman filter. A simulation example for a tracking system verifies the robustness and robust accuracy relations.     

Robust fusion steady‐state filtering for multisensor networked systems with one‐step random delay,missing measurements,and uncertain‐variance multiplicative and additive white noises

The robust fusion steady‐state filtering problem is investigated for a class of multisensor networked systems with mixed uncertainties including multiplicative noises, one‐step random delay, missing measurements, and uncertain noise variances, the phenomena of one‐step random delay and missing measurements occur in a random way, and are described by two Bernoulli distributed random variables with known conditional probabilities. Using a model transformation approach, which consists of augmented approach, derandomization approach, and fictitious noise approach, the original multisensor system under study is converted into a multimodel multisensor system with only uncertain noise variances. According to the minimax robust estimation principle, based on the worst‐case subsystems with conservative upper bounds of uncertain noise variances, the robust local steady‐state Kalman estimators (predictor, filter, and smoother) are presented in a unified framework. Applying the optimal fusion algorithm weighted by matrices, the robust distributed weighted state fusion steady‐state Kalman estimators are derived for the considered system. In addition, by using the proposed model transformation approach, the centralized fusion system is obtained, furthermore the robust centralized fusion steady‐state Kalman estimators are proposed. The robustness of the proposed estimators is proved by using a combination method consisting of augmented noise approach, decomposition approach of nonnegative definite matrix, matrix representation approach of quadratic form, and Lyapunov equation approach, such that for all admissible uncertainties, the actual steady‐state estimation error variances of the estimators are guaranteed to have the corresponding minimal upper bounds. The accuracy relations among the robust local and fused steady‐state Kalman estimators are proved. An example with application to autoregressive signal processing is proposed, which shows that the robust local and fusion signal estimation problems can be solved by the state estimation problems. Simulation example verifies the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed results.     

Robust centralized and integrated covariance intersection fusion Kalman estimators for networked mixed‐uncertain systems

For networked mixed uncertain time‐varying systems with uncertain noise variances, random one‐step measurement delay, state‐dependent and noise‐dependent multiplicative noises, and linearly dependent additive white noises, the robust local, centralized, and distributed fusion estimation problems are addressed. Three new approaches are presented, which include a new augmented state approach with fictitious white noises, an extended Lyapunov equation approach with two Lyapunov equations, and a universal integrated covariance intersection (ICI) fusion approach of integrating the minimax robust local Kalman estimators and their conservative cross‐covariances. They constitute a new important methodology of solving robust fusion estimation problems. Applying them, the local, centralized, and distributed ICI fusion time‐varying and steady‐state robust Kalman estimators (predictor, filter, and smoother) are presented in the sense that for all admissible uncertainties, their actual estimation error variances are guaranteed to have the corresponding minimal upper bounds. Their robustness, convergence, and accuracy relations are proved. Specially, the proposed ICI fusers improve the robust accuracies of the original covariance intersection fusers, and overcome their drawbacks, such that the local estimators and their conservative variances are assumed to be known, and the conservative cross‐variances are ignored. A simulation example with application to a vehicle suspension system shows the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and results.     

Event‐triggered robust state estimation for wireless sensor networks

Robust state estimation problem subject to a communication constraint is investigated in this paper for a class of wireless sensor networks constituted by multiple remote sensor nodes and a fusion node. An analytical robust fusion estimator using local event‐triggered transmission strategies is derived aiming to reduce energy consumption of the sensor nodes and refrain from network traffic congestion. Some conditions are presented guaranteeing the uniformly bounded estimation errors of the robust state estimator. Several numerical simulations are presented to show the validity of the proposed method.     

Event-triggered multi-rate fusion estimation for uncertain system with stochastic nonlinearities and colored measurement noises

This paper is concerned with the event-triggered robust fusion estimation problem for uncertain multi-rate sampled-data systems with stochastic nonlinearities and the colored measurement noises. Due to the effects of stochastic nonlinearities and parameter uncertainties, a new augmentation approach is proposed by which the multi-rate sampled-data system under consideration is transformed into the single-rate system. In order to eliminate the effect of the colored measurement noises, a measurement model with uncorrected noises is established. Based on the measurement model established, a set of local event-triggered filters is constructed and the upper bounds of the local filtering error covariances at each sampling instant are obtained. By using the Lagrange multiplier method, the local filter parameters are designed such that the upper bound obtained is minimum. For the local state estimates, a new fusion estimation scheme is proposed with the help of covariance intersection (CI) method and the consistency of the proposed CI-based fusion estimation scheme is shown. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the fusion estimation scheme proposed.     

Estimation fusion for distributed multi-sensor systems with uncertain cross-correlations

This paper addresses the estimation fusion problem in distributed multi-sensor systems with uncertain cross-covariance among local estimation errors. A robust linear estimation fusion method is proposed in the sense of minimising the worst mean square error of the fused estimator over the uncertain normalised cross-covariances (NCC). The weighted coefficient matrices of the fused estimator can be obtained by solving a semi-definite programming problem. This estimation fusion method is suitable for the situations with completely unknown NCC or partly known NCC. Two fusion estimators for the uncertain NCC with partly known prior information are presented. Some numerical simulations are provided to show the good performance of the proposed estimators.
