Fault Tolerant Estimation of UAV Dynamics via Robust Adaptive Kalman Filter

2016-05-01
A covariance scaling based robust adaptive Kalman filter (RAKF) algorithm is developed for the case of sensor/actuator faults. The proposed RAKF uses variable scale factors for scaling the process and measurement noise covariances and eliminating the effect of the faults on the estimation procedure. At first, the existing covariance estimation based adaptation techniques are reviewed. Then the covariance scaling methods with single and multiple factors are discussed. After choosing the efficient adaptation method an overall concept for the RAKF is proposed. In this concept, the filter initially isolates the fault, either in the sensors or in the actuators, and then it applies the required adaptation process such that the estimation characteristic is not deteriorated. The performance of the proposed filters is investigated via simulations for the UAV state estimation problem. The results of the presented algorithms are compared for different types of sensor/actuator faults and recommendations about their application are given within this scope.

Non-Linear Filtering based on Observations from Student's t Processes
Saha, Saikat; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2012-03-10)
We consider measurements from possibly zero-mean stochastic processes in a nonlinear filtering framework. This is a challenging problem, since it is only the second order properties of the measurements that bear information about the unknown state vector. The covariance function of the measurements can have both spatial and temporal correlation that depend on the state. Recently, a solution to this problem was presented for the case of Gaussian processes. We here extend the theory to Student's t processes. ...
Optimization of Power Conversion Efficiency in Threshold Self-Compensated UHF Rectifiers With Charge Conservation Principle
Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; KOÇER, FATİH; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-01)
This paper presents a compact model for threshold self-compensated rectifiers that can be used to optimize circuit parameters early in the design phase instead of time-consuming transient simulations. A design procedure is presented for finding the optimum aspect ratio of transistors used in the converter and number of rectifying stages to achieve the maximum power conversion efficiency. In the presented analysis, the relation between the power conversion efficiency and the load current over the variation o...
Extended lasso-type MARS (LMARS) model in the description of biological network
Agraz, Melih; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-02)
The multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) model is one of the well-known, additive non-parametric models that can deal with highly correlated and nonlinear datasets successfully. From our previous analyses, we have seen that lasso-type MARS (LMARS) can be a strong alternative of the Gaussian graphical model (GGM) which is a well-known probabilistic method to describe the steady-state behaviour of the complex biological systems via the lasso regression. In this study, we extend our original LMARS m...
Novel model selection criteria for LMARS: MARS designed for biological networks
Bulbul, Gul Bahar; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (2021-03-01)
In higher dimensions, the loop-based multivariate adaptive regression splines (LMARS) model is used to build sparse and complex gene structure nonparametrically by correctly defining its interactions in the network. Also, it prefers to apply the generalized cross-validation (GCV) value as its original model selection criterion in order to select the best model, in turn, represent the true network structure. In this study, we suggest to modify the model selection procedure of LMARS by changing GCV with our K...
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...
