In order to overcome the various disadvantages of standalone INS and GPS, these systems are integrated using nonlinear estimation techniques. The standard and most widely used estimation algorithm for the INS/GPS integration is Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which makes a first order approximation for the nonlinearity involved. Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) approaches this problem by carefully selecting deterministic sigma points from Gaussian distributions and propagating these points through the nonlinear function itself. Scaled Unscented Transformation (SUT) is one of the sigma point selection methods which give the opportunity to adjust the spread of sigma points and control the higher order errors by some design parameters. Determination of these design parameters is problem specific. In this paper, an adaptive approach in selecting SUT parameters is proposed for tightly-coupled INS/GPS integration. Results of the proposed method are compared with the EKF and UKF integration. It is observed that the Adaptive UKF has slightly improved the performance of the navigation system especially at the end of GPS outage periods.

An adaptive unscented kalman filter for tightly-coupled INS/GPS integration Akça, Tamer; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In order to overcome the various disadvantages of standalone INS and GPS, these systems are integrated using nonlinear estimation techniques and benefits of the two complementary systems are obtained at the same time. The standard and most widely used estimation algorithm in the INS/GPS integrated systems is Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). Linearization step involved in the EKF algorithm can lead to second order errors in the mean and covariance of the state estimate. Another nonlinear estimator, Unscented Ka...
A Comparative Study on Non-Linear State Estimators Applied to Sensorless AC Drives: MRAS and Kalman Filter Akin, Bilal; Orguner, Umut; Ersak, Aydin; Ehsani, Mehrdad (2004-11-06) In this paper, two different nonlinear estimators applied to sensorless AC drives, Kalman Filtering techniques (EKF and UKF) and Model Reference Adaptive System (back emf ans reactive power models), are discussed and compared to each other. Both of the observer types are studied and analyzed both experimentally and theoretically. In order to compare the observers precisely, the observers are tested under the identical conditions.
An iterative adaptive multi-modal stereo-vision method using mutual information Yaman, Mustafa; Kalkan, Sinan (2015-01-01) We propose a method for computing disparity maps from a multi-modal stereo-vision system composed of an infrared-visible camera pair. The method uses mutual information (MI) as the basic similarity measure where a segment-based adaptive windowing mechanism is proposed along with a novel MI computation surface with joint prior probabilities incorporated. The computed cost confidences are aggregated using a novel adaptive cost aggregation method, and the resultant minimum cost disparities in segments are plan...
An experimental performance test of a derivative-free non-linear state observer designed for sensorless AC drives Akın, B; Orguner, Umut; Ersak, Aydın (2004-06-05) In this paper, a new Kalman Filtering technique, Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is utilized both experimentally and theoretically as a state estimation tool in field-oriented control (FOC) of sensorless AC drives. Using the advantages of this recent derivative-free nonlinear estimation tool, rotor speed and dq-axis fluxes of an induction motor are estimated only with the sensed stator currents and voltages information. In a previous study, simulations has shown that, UKF, whose several intrinsic properties s...
A composite pulsating controller for achieving high-performance positioning Tufekci, C. S.; Craig, K. C. (SAGE Publications, 2012-02-01) A non-linear robust control algorithm called a composite pulsating controller (CPC), which attains high-performance positioning specifications, is presented. The CPC is designed specifically for real product applications that have certain limitations such as friction, motor sizing, amplifier saturation, computational power and like. The CPC is composed of a bang-bang controller, a nominal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, a high-gain PID controller and a pulsating controller in accomplishin...
