An approximate nonlinear estimation method for continuous-time systems with discrete-time measurements is developed. The approach evaluates the Gaussian sum approximation of the a priori probability density function (pdf) by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically. Approximate evaluation of the a posteriori pdf is achieved by using Gaussian sums, a priori pdf and measurements in Bayes rule. Mean and covariance values of Gaussians are chosen by the help of an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), with respect to a region where a priori and a posteriori pdfs are approximated. Weights of the Gaussians are updated using the deterministically chosen grid points in the specified domains. UKF here acts as a one step look ahead mechanism to determine the high probability regions where a priori and a posteriori pdfs can reside. The a priori and a posteriori pdfs are approximated around these high probability regions. The developed approach is compared with UKF and Particle Filter in a one dimensional nonlinear system.

Robust Attitude Estimation Using IMU-Only Measurements Candan, Batu; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-01-01) © 1963-2012 IEEE.This article proposes two novel covariance-tuning methods to form a robust Kalman filter (RKF) algorithm for attitude (i.e., roll and pitch) estimation using the measurements of only an inertial measurement unit (IMU). KF-based and complementary filtering (CF)-based approaches are the two common methods for solving the attitude estimation problem. Efficiency and optimality of the KF-based attitude filters are correlated with appropriate tuning of the covariance matrices. Manual tuning proce...
Uncertainty analysis of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measurements Sözak, Ahmet; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) In this thesis, the measurement uncertainty of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is analysed and software is designed to simulate this. Analysis begins with the inspection of the measurement process and structure of the CMMs. After that, error sources are defined with respect to their effects on the measurement and then an error model is constructed to compensate these effects. In other words, systematic part of geometric, kinematic and thermal errors are compensated with error modelling. Kinematic and geo...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
Analytical solutions to orthotropic variable thickness disk problems Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2016-01-01) An analytical model is developed to estimate the mechanical response of nonisothermal, orthotropic, variable thickness disks under a variety of boundary conditions. Combining basic mechanical equations of disk geometry with the equations of orthotropic material, the elastic equation of the disk is obtained. This equation is transformed into a standard hypergeometric differential equation by means of a suitable transformation. An analytical solution is then obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. The ...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04) Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
