A new information fusion white noise deconvolution estimator

The white noise deconvolution or input white noise estimation problem has important applications in oil seismic exploration, communication and signal processing. By the modern time series analysis method, based on the autoregressive moving average （ARMA） innovation model, a new information fusion white noise deconvolution estimator is presented for the general multisensor systems with different local dynamic models and correlated noises. It can handle the input white noise fused filtering, prediction and smoothing problems, and it is applicable to systems with colored measurement noises. It is locally optimal, and is globally suboptimal. The accuracy of the fuser is higher than that of each local white noise estimator. In order to compute the optimal weights, the formula computing the local estimation error cross-covariances is given. A Monte Carlo simulation example for the system with Bernoulli-Gaussian input white noise shows the effectiveness and performances.     

Spatially Adaptive Image Restoration Using Fuzzy Punctual Kriging

We present a general formulation based on punctual kriging and fuzzy concepts for image restoration in spatial domain. Gray-level images degraded with Gaussian white noise have been considered. Based on the pixel local neighborhood, fuzzy logic has been employed intelligently to avoid unnecessary estimation of a pixel. The intensity estimation of the selected pixels is then carried out by employing punctual kriging in conjunction with the method of Lagrange multipliers and estimates of local semi-variances. Application of such a hybrid technique performing both selection and intensity estimation of a pixel demonstrates substantial improvement in the image quality as compared to the adaptive Wiener filter and existing fuzzykriging approaches. It has been found that these filters achieve noise reduction without loss of structural detail information, as indicated by their higher structure similarity indices, peak signal to noise ratios and the new variogram based quality measures.     

Linear quadratic regulation for discrete-time systems with state delays and multiplicative noise

In this paper, the linear quadratic regulation problem for discrete-time systems with state delays and multiplicative noise is considered. The necessary and sufficient condition for the problem admitting a unique solution is given. Under this condition, the optimal feedback control and the optimal cost are presented via a set of coupled difference equations. Our approach is based on the maximum principle. The key technique is to establish relations between the costate and the state.     

Human steering angle estimation in video based on key point detection and Kalman filter

Human pose recognition and estimation in video is pervasive. However, the process noise and local occlusion bring great challenge to pose recognition. In this paper, we introduce the Kalman filter into pose recognition to reduce noise and solve local occlusion problem. The core of pose recognition in video is the fast detection of key points and the calculation of human steering angles. Thus, we first build a human key point detection model. Frame skipping is performed based on the Hamming distance of the hash value of every two adjacent frames in video. Noise reduction is performed on key point coordinates with the Kalman filter. To calculate the human steering angle, current state information of key points is predicted using the optimal estimation of key points at the previous time. Then human steering angle can be calculated based on current and previous state information. The improved SENet, NLNet and GCNet modules are integrated into key point detection model for improving accuracy. Tests are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Analysis of quantization noise and state estimation with quantized measurements

The approximate correction of the additive white noise model in quantized Kalman filter is investigated under certain conditions. The probability density function of the error of quantized measurements is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The analysis is based on the probability theory and nonparametric density estimation technique, respectively. The approximator of probability density function of quantized measurement noise is given. The numerical results of nonparametric density estimation algorithm demonstrate that the theoretical conclusion is reasonable. Based on the analysis of quantization noise, a novel algorithm for state estimation with quantized measurements also is proposed. The algorithm is based on the least-squares estimator and unscented transform. By least-squares estimator, the effective information is extracted from the quantized measurements. Also, using the information to update the estimated state can give a better estimation under the influence of quantization. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the proposed algorithm is compared with the RMSE of the existing methods for a typical tracking scenario in wireless sensor networks systems. Simulations provide a strong evidence that this tracking algorithm could indeed give us a more precise estimated result.     

Optimal Fusion Reduced-Order Kalman Filters Weighted by Scalars for Stochastic Singular Systems

Based on the optimal fusion algorithm weighted by scalars in the linear minimum variance sense, a distributed optimal fusion reduced-order Kalman filter with scalar weights is presented for discrete-time stochastic singular systems with multiple sensors and correlated noises. It has higher accuracy than any local filter does. Compared with the distributed fusion filter weighted by matrices, it has lower accuracy but has reduced computational burden. Computation formula of cross-covariance matrix of the filtering errors between any two sensors is given. An example with three sensors shows the effectiveness.

Linear minimum variance estimation fusion

This paper shows that a general multisensor unbiased linearly weighted estimation fusion essentially is the linear minimum variance (LMV) estimation with linear equality constraint, and the general estimation fusion formula is developed by extending the Gauss-Markov estimation to the random parameter under estimation. First, we formulate the problem of distributed estimation fusion in the LMV setting. In this setting, the fused estimator is a weighted sum of local estimates with a matrix weight. We show that the set of weights is optimal if and only if it is a solution of a matrix quadratic optimization problem subject to a convex linear equality constraint. Second, we present a unique solution to the above optimization problem, which depends only on the covariance matrix Ck.Third, if a priori information, the expectation and covariance, of the estimated quantity is unknown, a necessary and sufficient condition for the above LMV fusion becoming the best unbiased LMV estimation with known prior informatio     

Self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter and its convergence

For multisensor systems, when the model parameters and the noise variances are unknown, the consistent fused estimators of the model parameters and noise variances are obtained, based on the system identification algorithm, correlation method and least squares fusion criterion. Substituting these consistent estimators into the optimal weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter, a self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter is presented. Using the dynamic error system analysis (DESA) method, the convergence of the self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter is proved, i.e., the self-tuning Kalman filter converges to the corresponding optimal Kalman filter in a realization. Therefore, the self-tuning weighted measurement fusion Kalman filter has asymptotic global optimality. One simulation example for a 4-sensor target tracking system verifies its effectiveness.

Multi-sensor information fusion white noise filter weighted by scalars based on Kalman predictor

A unified multi-sensor optimal information fusion criterion weighted by scalars is presented in the linear minimum variance sense. The criterion considers the correlation among local estimation errors, only requires the computation of scalar weights, and avoids the computation of matrix weights so that the computational burden can obviously be reduced. Based on this fusion criterion and Kalman predictor, an optimal information fusion filter for the input white noise, which can be applied to seismic data processing in oil exploration, is given for discrete time-varying linear stochastic control systems measured by multiple sensors with correlated noises. It has a two-layer fusion structure. The first fusion layer has a netted parallel structure to determine the first-step prediction error cross-covariance for the state and the filtering error cross-covariance for the input white noise between any two sensors at each time step. The second fusion layer is the fusion center to determine the optimal scalar weights and obtain the optimal fusion filter for the input white noise. Two simulation examples for Bernoulli-Gaussian white noise filter show the effectiveness.     

Self-tuning decoupled information fusion Wiener state component filters and their convergence

For the multisensor systems with unknown noise variances, using the modern time series analysis method, based on on-line identification of the moving average (MA) innovation models, and based on the solution of the matrix equations for correlation function, the on-line estimators of the noise variances are obtained, and under linear minimum variance optimal information fusion criterion weighted by scalars for state components, a class of self-tuning decoupled fusion Wiener filters is presented. It realizes the self-tuning decoupled local Wiener filters and self-tuning decoupled fused Wiener filters for the state components. A new concept of convergence in a realization is presented, which is weaker than the convergence with probability one. The dynamic error system analysis (DESA) method is presented, by which the problem of convergence in a realization for self-tuning fusers is transformed into the stability problems of non-homogeneous difference equations, and the decision criterions of the stability are also presented. It is strictly proved that if the parameter estimation of the MA innovation models is consistent and if the measurement process is bounded in a realization or with probability one, then the self-tuning fusers will converge to the optimal fusers in a realization or with probability one, so that they have the asymptotic optimality. They can deal with the systems with the non-stationary or Gaussian measurement processes. They can reduce the computational burden, and are suitable for real time applications. A simulation example for a target tracking system with 3-sensor shows their effectiveness.
