© 2019 IEEE.All attitude filter designers are familiar with the covariance matrix tuning process for an attitude filter to get an estimate close to the optimal (or sub-optimal)values as much as possible. This is a difficult and time-consuming task. Selected values for the measurement and process noise covariance matrices are decision makers for the filter's performance. Composing the measurement covariance matrix (R) is rather straightforward as we make use of the sensor specifications. Yet when there are issues such as measurement delay, the matrix components must be tuned for higher estimation accuracy and usually with an ad hoc approach. As to the process noise covariance matrix (Q), we have an analytical approximation, but most of the time it does not give the best result in practice. This paper first surveys researches on tuning the attitude filter and discuss the details of the problem. Then investigates the applicability of common adaptive methods for attitude filtering and provides a performance comparison in between intuitively and adaptively tuned attitude filters.

Simultaneous adaptation of the process and measurement noise covariances for the UKF applied to nanosatellite attitude estimation Söken, Halil Ersin; Sakai, Shin-Ichiro (2014-01-01) © IFAC.A common technique for improving the estimation performance of the Kalman filter and making the filter robust against any kind of faults is to adapt its process and measurement noise covariance matrices. Although there are numerous approaches for the adaptation such as full estimation or scaling, simultaneous adaptation of these two matrices is an ongoing discussion. In this paper, firstly, two common problems for the attitude estimation of a nanosatellite are solved by adapting the process and noise...
Tuning electrostatic interactions for controlled structure and rejection of cellulose nanocrystal membranes Kocaman, Ceren; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Çulfaz Emecen, Pınar Zeynep (2022-11-05) © 2022 Elsevier B.V.Precise control over membrane performance by tuning fabrication parameters is highly desirable. We developed ultrafiltration membranes by depositing cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) on a porous support via tangential flow filtration, followed by irreversibly coagulating the deposited layer by permeating highly concentrated AlCl3 solution. By varying electrostatic interactions between nanocrystals during deposition, via varying ionic strength and pH of CNC suspensions, membrane performance w...
Adaptive Fading UKF with Q-Adaptation: Application to Picosatellite Attitude Estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-07-01) The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in the case of system uncertainty the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges in time. In other words, if any change occurs in the process noise covariance, which is known a priori, the filter fails. This study introduces a novel adaptive fading UKF algorithm based on the correction of process noise covariance...
Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter with Multiple Fading Factors for Pico Satellite Attitude Estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (2009-01-01) Thus far, Kalman filter based attitude estimation algorithms have been used in many space applications. When the issue of pico satellite attitude estimation is taken into consideration, general linear approach to Kalman filter becomes insufficient and Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) are the types of filters, which are designed in order to overrun this problem. However, in case of attitude estimation of a pico satellite via magnetometer data, where the nonlinearity degree of both dynamics and measurement model...
Fault tolerant attitude estimation for pico satellites using robust adaptive UKF Söken, Halil Ersin (2012-10-09) Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm which gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in case of system uncertainty or measurements malfunctions the UKF becomes to be inaccurate and diverges by time. This study, introduces a fault tolerant attitude estimation algorithm for pico satellites. The algorithm uses a Robust Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (RAUKF) which performs correction for proces...
