In this study, we investigate online Bayesian estimation of the measurement noise density of a given state space model using particle filters and Dirichlet process mixtures. Dirichlet processes are widely used in statistics for nonparametric density estimation. In the proposed method, the unknown noise is modeled as a Gaussian mixture with unknown number of components. The joint estimation of the state and the noise density is done via particle filters. Furthermore, the number of components and the noise statistics are allowed to vary in time. An extension of the method for the estimation of time varying noise characteristics is also introduced.

Particle Filtering with Propagation Delayed Measurements
Orguner, Umut (2010-03-13)
This paper investigates the problem of propagation delayed measurements in a particle filtering scenario. Based on implicit constraints specified by target dynamics and physics rules of signal propagation, authors apply the ideas that were first proposed in their previous work to the case of particle filters. Unlike the deterministic sampling based approach called propagation delayed measurement filter (PDMF) in their previous work, the new algorithm proposed here (called as PDM particle filter (PDM-PF)) ha...
An adaptive PHD filter for tracking with unknown sensor characteristics
Zhao, Yuxin; Yin, Feng; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Amirijoo, Mehdi; Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-07-09)
The particle filter provides a general solution to the nonlinear filtering problem with arbitrarily accuracy. However, the curse of dimensionality prevents its application in cases where the state dimensionality is high. Further, estimation of stationary parameters is a known challenge in a particle filter framework. We suggest a marginalization approach for the case of unknown noise distribution parameters that avoid both aforementioned problem. First, the standard approach of augmenting the state vector w...

Exact kalman filtering of respiratory motion
Çetinkaya, Mehmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (2018-10-01)
In this paper we propose a novel Exact Kalman Filter for state estimation of quasi-periodic signals such as respiratory motion. Nonlinear functions of interest are approximations as truncated Fourier series. Instead of relying on approximations provided by Extended Kalman Filter or Unscented Kalman Filter, our filter performs exact calculation of the mean and covariances of interest. We then compare, through simulations, the performance of our filter to the two. Our results show that the theoretically deriv...
Entropy Calculation in Particle Filters
Orguner, Umut (2009-04-11)
This paper presents a differential entropy calculation method to be used for particle mixtures in particle filters. First it is shown that the exact differential entropy of particle mixtures is minus infinity and therefore useless in practice. The disadvantage of using discrete entropy formulation instead of differential entropy is also explained. Unlike the kernel-based methods in the literature, a Bayes rule based approximation is then proposed. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated on a basic G...
