The necessary parameter and states for the field-oriented control scheme of induction motor have been correctly estimated by EKF(Extended Kalman Filter). In this paper, Reduced-Order EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) is proposed tn estimate rotor speed and rotor flux. It is profitable in the implementation of field-oriented control scheme rather than Full-Order EKF because of saving operational quantity. The simulation results show that the proposed Reduced-Order EKF is excellent performance.

The purpose of this paper is introducing WiFi based EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) method for indoor positioning. The advantages of our EKF method include: 1) Any special equipment dedicated for positioning is not required. 2) implementation of EKF does not require off-line phase of fingerprinting methods. 3) The EKF effectively minimizes squared deviation of the trilateration method. In order to experimentally prove the advantages of our method, we implemented indoor positioning systems making use of the K-NN(K Nearest Neighbors), Bayesian, decision tree, trilateration, and our EKF methods. Our experimental results show that the average-errors of K-NN, Bayesian and decision tree methods are all close to 2.4 meters whereas the average errors of trilateration and EKF are 4.07 meters and 3.528 meters, respectively. That is, the accuracy of our EKF is a bit inferior to those of fingerprinting methods. Even so, our EKF is accurate enough to be used for practical indoor LBS systems. Moreover, our EKF is easier to implement than fingerprinting methods because it does not require off-line phase.

In this paper, a method for estimating the location of a quadcopter is proposed by applying an EKF-SLAM algorithm to its flight control, to autonomously control the flight of an unmanned quadcopter. The usefulness of this method is validated through simulations. For autonomously flying the unmanned quadcopter, an algorithm is required to estimate its accurate location, and various approaches exist for this. Among them, SLAM, which has seldom been applied to the quadcopter flight control, was applied in this study to simulate a system that estimates flight trajectories of the quadcopter.

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is widely used for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) applications. It is difficult to obtain precise positions with an EKF one-way (forward or backward) filter. In this paper, we propose an EKF smoother to improve the positioning accuracy by integrating forward and backward filters. For the EKF smoother experiment, we performed PPP using GNSS data received at the DAEJ reference station for a month. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated with multi-GNSS kinematic PPP experiments. The EKF smoother showed 35%, 6%, and 22% improvement in east, north, and up directions, respectively. In addition, accurate tropospheric zenith total delay (ZTD) values were calculated by a smoother. Therefore, the results from EKF smoother demonstrate that better accuracy of position can be achieved.

This paper focuses on a performance analysis of TRN among various nonlinear filtering methods. In a TRN research, extended Kalman filter(EKF) is a basic estimation algorithm. In this paper, iterated EKF(IEKF), EKF with stochastic linearization(SL), and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) algorithms are introduced to compare navigation performance with original EKF. In addition to introduced sequential filters, bank of Kalman filters method, which is one of the batch method, is also presented. Finally, by simulating an artificial aircraft mission, EKF with SL was chosen as the most consistent filter in the introduced sequential filters. Also, results suggested that the bank of Kalman filters can be alternative for TRN, when a fast convergence of navigation solution is needed.

In this paper, the Iterated Consider Extended Kalman Filter (ICEKF) is proposed for bearing-only localization of GNSS interference to improve the estimation performance and filter consistency. The ICEKF is an extended version of Consider KF (CKF) for Iterated EKF (IEKF) to consider an effect of bearing measurement bias error to filter covariance. The ICEKF can mitigate the EKF divergence problem which can occur when linearizing the nonlinear bearing measurement by a large initial state error. Also, it can mitigate filter inconsistency problem of EKF and IEKF which can occur when a weakly observable bearing measurement bias error state is not included in filter state vector. The simulation result shows that the localization error of the ICEKF is smaller than the EKF and IEKF, and the Root Mean Square (RMS) estimation error of ICEKF matches the covariance of filter.

본 논문은 확장 칼만 필터(EKF)를 이용하여 배터리의 SOC(State-of-Charge) 추정 방법을 제안하였다. EKF는 정확한 모델에서만 제대로 동작 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문은 EKF의 적용을 위해 높은 정확도를 가진 전기적 배터리 모델에 대해 설명한다. 배터리 모델은 4.2V, 40Ah의 리튬폴리머 전지에서 추출되었다. 배터리는 Bulk 커패시터, 두 개의 R-C회로, 직렬 저항을 사용하여 모델링하였다. EKF를 모델에 적용하기 위해 캐패시터 전압은 개방 회로 전압(OCV)을 나타내는데 사용된다. EKF는 충/방전 기기인 Maccor 8500에 의해 얻을 실험 데이터로 테스트하였다. 테스트 결과에서 추정의 오차가 최대 5% 정도로 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

This paper proposes a novel sensorless control scheme for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) by using a parallel reduced-order Extended Kalman Filter. The proposed scheme can obtain rotor position and speed by back-EKF that is estimated by reduced-order ETD and save computation time great)y due to using a parallel structure that works by turns every sampling time. Therefore, proposed scheme has merits of conventional EKF, and problems of parameter sensitivity are partially overcome. And proposed scheme can safely estimate rotor speed and position by using new algorithms according to driving regions. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed estimation technique, and to verify the merit of the proposed scheme, a comparison of a new reduced-order EKF algorithm with a conventional EKF algorithm has been also made in terms of computation time.

This paper study the position estimation of MBK system according to the non-linear filter for non-Gaussian noise in underwater sensor networks. In the filter to estimate location, recently, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and particle filter are getting attention. EKF is widely used due to the best algorithm in the Gaussian noise environment, but has many restrictions on the usage in non-Gaussian noise environment such as in underwater. In this paper, we propose the improved One-Dimension Particle Filter (ODPF) using the distribution re-interpretation techniques based on the maximum likelihood. Through the simulation, we compared and analyzed the proposed particle filter with the EKF in non-Gaussian underwater sensor networks. In the case of both the sufficient statistical sample and the sufficient calculation capacity, we confirm that the ODPF's result shows more accurate localization than EKF's result.
