Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm which gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even in case of high nonlinearity. However, in case of system uncertainty UKF becomes to be inaccurate and diverges by time. In other words, if any change occurs in the process noise covariance, which is known as a priori, filter fails. This study, introduces a novel Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) algorithm based on the correction of process noise covariance for the case of mismatches with the model. By the use of a newly adaptation scheme for the conventional UKF algorithm, change in the noise covariance is detected and corrected. Differently from the most of the existing adaptive UKF algorithms, covariance is not updated at each step; it has been only corrected when the fault occurs and that brings about a noteworthy reduction in the computational burden. Proposed algorithm is tested as a part of the attitude estimation algorithm of a pico satellite, a satellite type for which computational convenience is necessary because of the design limitations.

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...
Robust adaptive unscented Kalman filter for attitude estimation of pico satellites Hacızade, Cengiz; Söken, Halil Ersin (Wiley, 2014-02-01) Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for the estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in case of system uncertainty or measurement malfunctions, the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges by time. This study introduces a fault-tolerant attitude estimation algorithm for pico satellites. The algorithm uses a robust adaptive UKF, which performs correction for the process noise covariance (Q-adapt...
A Novel Computational Method to Calculate Nonlinear Normal Modes of Complex Structures Samandarı, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2019-01-31) In this study, a simple and efficient computational approach to obtain nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of nonlinear structures is presented. Describing function method (DFM) is used to capture the nonlinear internal forces under periodic motion. DFM has the advantage of expressing the nonlinear internal force as a nonlinear stiffness matrix multiplied by a displacement vector, where the off-diagonal terms of the nonlinear stiffness matrix can provide a comprehensive knowledge about the coupling between the mo...
A new real-time suboptimum filtering and prediction scheme for general nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise Demirbaş, Kerim (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) A new suboptimum state filtering and prediction scheme is proposed for nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian disturbance and observation noises. This scheme is an online estimation scheme for real-time applications. Furthermore, this scheme is very suitable for state estimation under either constraints imposed on estimates or missing observations. State and observation models can be any nonlinear functions of the states, disturbance and observation noises as long as noise samples ...
A NOVEL METHOD FOR DISCRETE COEFFICIENT FIR DIGITAL FILTER DESIGN Çiloğlu, Tolga (1994-06-02) A local search algorithm for discrete coefficient FIR filter design is presented. The minmax objective function is minimized by moving along the low gradient directions. A new method to forecast these directions is proposed. The algorithm is suitable to design high order filters in a short time. The results are compared to other methods both in quality and computational load
