We consider a class of non-linear filtering problems, where the observation model is given by a Gaussian process rather than the common non-linear function of the state and measurement noise. The new observation model can be considered as a generalization of the standard one with correlated measurement noise in both time and space. We propose a particle filter based approach with a measurement update step that requires a memory of past observations which can be truncated using a moving window to obtain a finite-dimensional filter with arbitrarily good accuracy. The validity of the conceptual solution is proved via simulations on a one dimensional tracking problem and implementation issues are discussed.

A Student s t filter for heavy tailed process and measurement noise
Roth, Michael; Özkan, Emre; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-05-26)
We consider the filtering problem in linear state space models with heavy tailed process and measurement noise. Our work is based on Student's t distribution, for which we give a number of useful results. The derived filtering algorithm is a generalization of the ubiquitous Kalman filter, and reduces to it as special case. Both Kalman filter and the new algorithm are compared on a challenging tracking example where a maneuvering target is observed in clutter.
MULTI MODE PROJECTILE TRACKING WITH MARGINALIZED PARTICLE FILTER
Bilgin, Ozan Ozgun; Demirekler, Mübeccel (2015-10-30)
In this study, dynamic models for thrusting and ballistic flight modes of multi mode projectile are obtained and Marginalization method is applied by separation of the linear and nonlinear parts of state space model. In Marginalized Particle Filter (MPF), dimension of the nonlinear system is reduced so that the model can be utilized to obtain better estimates of the state using the same number of particles as that of standard particle filter. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), the Particle Filter (PF) and th...
Stability analysis of recurrent neural networks with piecewise constant argument of generalized type
Akhmet, Marat; Yılmaz, Elanur (2010-09-01)
In this paper, we apply the method of Lyapunov functions for differential equations with piecewise constant argument of generalized type to a model of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). The model involves both advanced and delayed arguments. Sufficient conditions are obtained for global exponential stability of the equilibrium point. Examples with numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the results.
Online state estimation for discrete nonlinear dynamic systems with nonlinear noise and interference
Demirbaş, Kerim (2015-01-01)
This paper presents a real-time recursive state filtering and prediction scheme (PR) for discrete nonlinear dynamic systems with nonlinear noise and random interference, such as undesired random jamming or clutter. The PR is based upon discrete noise approximation, state quantization, and a suboptimal implementation of multiple composite hypothesis testing. The PR outperforms both the sampling importance resampling (SIR) particle filter and auxiliary sampling importance resampling (ASIR) particle filter; wh...
ML Estimation of Process Noise Variance in Dynamic Systems
Axelsson, Patrik; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik; Norrlöf, Mikael (2011-08-28)
The performance of a non-linear filter hinges in the end on the accuracy of the assumed non-linear model of the process. In particular, the process noise covariance Q is hard to get by physical modeling and dedicated system identification experiments. We propose a variant of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm which iteratively estimates the unobserved state sequence and Q based on the observations of the process. The extended Kalman smoother (EKS) is the instrument to find the unobserved state sequ...
