Self-tuning measurement fusion Kalman predictors and their convergence analysis

For multisensor systems with unknown parameters and noise variances, three self-tuning measurement fusion Kalman predictors based on the information matrix equation are presented by substituting the online estimators of unknown parameters and noise variances into the optimal measurement fusion steady-state Kalman predictors. By the dynamic variance error system analysis method, the convergence of the self-tuning information matrix equation is proved. Further, it is proved by the dynamic error system analysis method that the proposed self-tuning measurement fusion Kalman predictors converge to the optimal measurement fusion steady-state Kalman predictors in a realisation, so they have asymptotical global optimality.

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.

Multi-sensor optimal information fusion Kalman filter

This paper presents a new multi-sensor optimal information fusion criterion weighted by matrices in the linear minimum variance sense, it is equivalent to the maximum likelihood fusion criterion under the assumption of normal distribution. Based on this optimal fusion criterion, a general multi-sensor optimal information fusion decentralized Kalman filter with a two-layer fusion structure is given for discrete time linear stochastic control systems with multiple sensors and correlated noises. The first fusion layer has a netted parallel structure to determine the cross covariance between every pair of faultless sensors at each time step. The second fusion layer is the fusion center that determines the optimal fusion matrix weights and obtains the optimal fusion filter. Comparing it with the centralized filter, the result shows that the computational burden is reduced, and the precision of the fusion filter is lower than that of the centralized filter when all sensors are faultless, but the fusion filter has fault tolerance and robustness properties when some sensors are faulty. Further, the precision of the fusion filter is higher than that of each local filter. Applying it to a radar tracking system with three sensors demonstrates its effectiveness.     

Robust weighted fusion Kalman predictors with uncertain noise variances

In this paper, the problem of designing weighted fusion robust time-varying Kalman predictors is considered for multisensor time-varying systems with uncertainties of noise variances. Using the minimax robust estimation principle and the unbiased linear minimum variance (ULMV) rule, based on the worst-case conservative system with the conservative upper bounds of noise variances, the local and five weighted fused robust time-varying Kalman predictors are designed, which include a robust weighted measurement fuser, three robust weighted state fusers, and a robust covariance intersection (CI) fuser. Their actual prediction error variances are guaranteed to have the corresponding minimal upper bounds for all admissible uncertainties of noise variances. Their robustness is proved based on the proposed Lyapunov equation approach. The concept of the robust accuracy is presented, and the robust accuracy relations are proved. The corresponding steady-state robust local and fused Kalman predictors are also presented, and the convergence in a realization between the time-varying and steady-state robust Kalman predictors is proved by the dynamic error system analysis (DESA) method and the dynamic variance error system analysis (DVESA) method. Simulation results show the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed results.     

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.

Information fusion robust guaranteed cost Kalman estimators with uncertain noise variances and missing measurements

ABSTRACT

For multisensor systems with uncertain noise variances and missing measurements, it can be converted into one only with uncertain noise variances by introducing fictitious measurement white noises. According to the minimax robust estimation principle and parameterisation representation of perturbances of uncertain noise variances, based on the worst-case system with conservative upper bounds of uncertain noise variances, the two classes of guaranteed cost robust weighted fusion Kalman estimators with matrix weights, diagonal matrix weights, scalar weights, and covariance intersection fusion matrix weights are presented. One class is the construction of a maximal perturbance region of uncertain noise variances, in which for all admissible perturbances, the accuracy deviations are guaranteed to remain within the prescribed range. The other class is the finding of minimal upper bound and maximal lower bound of accuracy deviations over the given perturbance region of uncertain noise variances. Two problems can be converted into the optimisation problems with constraints. Their optimal analytical solutions can simply be found respectively by the Lagrange multiplier method and the linear programme method. The guaranteed cost robustness is proved by the Lyapunov equation approach. A simulation example applied to the mass-spring system is provided to demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed results.
