  • Recently, artificial intelligence tools are most used for structural engineering and mechanics. In order to predict reserve prices and prices of awards, this study proposed a novel regression prediction model by the intelligent Kalman filtering method. An artificial intelligent multiple regression model was established using categorized data and then a prediction model using intelligent Kalman filtering. The rather precise construction bid price model was selected for the purpose of increasing the probability to win bids in the simulation example.

  • The initial alignment of inertial platform for navigation system was considered. An adaptive filtering technique is developed for the system with unknown and varying sway disturbance. It is assumed that the random sway motion is the second order ARMA(Auto Regressive Moving Average) model and performed parameter identification for unknown parameters. Designed adaptive filter contain both a Kalman filter and a self-tuning filter. This filtering system can automatically adapt to varying environmental conditions. To verify the robustness of the filtering system, the computer simulation was performed with unknown and varying sway disturbance.

  • For this study we used a CCD video camera to capture the pavement image information via the computer. During investigation processing, the CCD video camera captured 10${\sim}$30 images per second. If the vehicle velocity is too fast, the collected images will be duplicated and if the velocity is too slow there will be a gapped between images. Therefore, in order to control the efficiency of the image grabber we should add accessory tools such as the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and odometer. Furthermore, Kalman Filtering can also solve these problems. After the CCD video camera captured the pavement images, we used the Least-Squares method to eliminate images of gradation which have non-uniform surfaces due to the illumination at night. The Fuzzy Entropy method calculates images of threshold segments and creates binary images. Finally, the Object Labeling algorithm finds objects that are cracks or noises from the binary image based on volume pixels of the object. We used these algorithms and tested them, also providing some discussion and suggestions.

  • Kalman filter를 필터링에 적용할 때에 센서의 아날로그 신호에 들어오는 측정값의 잡음은 Gaussian 확률분포를 갖는다고 가정한다. 그러나 Kalman filter를 digital 컴퓨터에 적용할 경우에는 analog-to-digital converter에서 측정값의 잡음이외에도 quantization 잡음이 존재하며 본 논문에서는 이러한 경우에 quantization 영향이 Kalman filter 알고리듬에 미치는 영향을 수치적으로 분석하여 quantization을 Kalman filter 구현에 고려해야 될 사항으로 분류하고자 한다.

  • An optimal combination of arbitrary number correlated estimates is derived. In particular, for two estimates this combination represents the well-known Millman and Bar-Shalom-Campo formulae for uncorrelated and correlated estimation errors, respectively. This new result is applied to the various estimation problems as least-squares estimation, Kalman filtering, and adaptive filtering. The new approximate adaptive filter with a parallel structure is proposed. It is shown that this filter is very effective for multisensor systems containing different types of sensors. Examples demonstrating the accuracy of the proposed filter are given.

  • Recently, mobile devices with touch display panel are widely used. Accuracy and reaction speed of touch signal are very important in touch devices. Therefore, we need to develop an effective algorithm to reduce touch noise quickly and accurately. This paper proposes a touch noise reduction algorithm using Kalman filtering in consideration of signal motion. First, a specific pre-emphasis processing is applied to an input signal so as to maximize the effect of Kalman filtering. In other words, a pure signal in the touch signal increases but noise in the touch signal decreases. Next, motion of the signal is detected. Motion estimation is performed only if motion is detected. If we detect motion by using the only neighborhood of the signal, we can reduce about 75% of the computation in comparison with examining the entire area. Finally, Kalman filtering using the previous state of current signal is performed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm suppresses touch noise sufficiently without degradation of the pure signal

  • In this paper, Digital MultiTone(DMT) is an emerging multi-carrier modulation scheme, which has been adopted for VDSL(Very high speed Digital Subscribe Line). A problem of DMT is its sensitivity to frequency offset between the transmitted and received carrier frequencies. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference(ICI) in the DMT symbol. This paper is proposed an ICI cancelation scheme using Kalman Filtering. The performance of the proposed method is compared with conventional methods in terms of bit error rate performance, bandwidth efficiency, and computational complexity. Through simulations, it is shown that for high values of the frequency offset and for higher order modulation schemes, the EKF(Enhanced Kalman Filtering) method perform better than the others.

  • A High-degree Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) is proposed to deal with the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SDINS) alignment problem. In-flight Alignment (IFA) is an effective method to compensate for attitude errors of the navigation system. While providing precise attitude error compensation, however, the external source aided alignment often creates a nonlinear filtering problem caused by a large misalignment angle. Introduced recently, Cubature Kalman Filter is a suitable technique for various nonlinear problems. In this paper, a higher degree CKF is applied to this accuracy-is-everything SDINS IFA problem. The simulation results show that the proposed technique outperformed a traditional nonlinear filter in terms of precision and alignment time.

  • In this paper, although Radar has been used for a long time, integrated scheme with visual camera is an efficient way to enhance marine surveillance system. Camera image is focused by radar information but it is easy to be fallen into inaccurate operation due to environmental noises. We have proposed a method to filter the noises by moving average filter and Kalman filter. It is proved that Kalman filtered results preserves linearity while the former includes larger variance.

  • A new equalization method for perpendicular magnetic recording channels is proposed. The proposed equalizer incorporates the Gaussian sum approximation into a Kalman filtering framework to mitigate inter-symbol interference in perpendicular magnetic recording systems. The proposed equalizer consists of a bank of linear equalizers using the Kalman filtering algorithm and its output is obtained by combining the outputs of linear equalizers through the Gaussian sum approximation.
