This paper presents a distributed online method for joint state and parameter estimation in a Jump Markov NonLinear System based on a distributed recursive Expectation Maximization algorithm. State inference is enabled via the use of Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter and, for the parameter estimation, the E-step is performed independently at each sensor with the calculation of local sufficient statistics. An average consensus algorithm is used to diffuse local sufficient statistics to neighbors and approximate the global sufficient statistics throughout the network. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm is carried out on a Terrain Based Navigation problem where the unknown parameters of the observation noise model contain relevant information about the terrain properties.

Implementation Studies of Robot Swarm Navigation Using Potential Functions and Panel Methods Merheb, Abdel-Razzak; GAZİ, VEYSEL; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (2016-10-01) This paper presents a practical swarm navigation algorithm based on potential functions and properties of inviscid incompressible flows. Panel methods are used to solve the flow equations around complex shaped obstacles and to generate the flowlines, which provide collision-free paths to the goal position. Safe swarm navigation is achieved by following the generated streamlines. Potential functions are used to achieve and maintain group cohesion or a geometric formation during navigation. The algorithm is i...
Collaborative Direction of Arrival estimation by using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers in distributed sensor array networks employing Sparse Bayesian Learning framework Nurbas, Ekin; Onat, Emrah; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2022-10-01) In this paper, we present a new method for Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation in distributed sensor array networks by using Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) in Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) framework. Our proposed method, CDoAE, has certain advantages compared to previous distributed DoA estimation methods. It does not require any special array geometry and there is no need for inter -array frequency and phase matching. CDoAE uses the distributed ADMM to update the parameter set extrac...
Extraneous roots and kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms and robots Soylu, Reşit (1997-10-01) A systematic algorithm, for the complete position analysis of ''any'' single loop spatial mechanism, is introduced. The method yields four non-linear equations, with the least possible total degree. These equations are transformed into algebraic ones, which may be solved, analytically, based upon the concept of resultants. The solutions are free from extraneous roots, since such roots are identified and extracted by the proposed techniques. An algorithm, for the efficient position analysis of mechanisms wit...
Waterfall region analysis for iterative decoding Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2004-12-01) Finite length analysis of iterative decoders can be done by using probabilistic models based on EXIT charts. The validity of these models will be investigated by checking the performance of iterative decoding under various scenarios.
Implicit monolithic parallel solution algorithm for seismic analysis of dam-reservoir systems Özmen, Semih; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) This research mainly focuses on developing a computationally scalable and efficient solution algorithm that can handle linear dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir interaction problem. Lagrangian fluid finite elements are utilized and compressibility and viscosity of the fluid are taken into consideration during the reservoir modeling. In order to provide computational scalability and efficiency, domain decomposition methods implemented with parallel computing approaches such as Finite Element Tearing and Inter...
