This paper presents the robot vision control schemes based on the Newton-Raphson (N-R) and the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) methods for the tracking of moving targets. The vision system model used in this study involves the six camera parameters. The difference is that refers to the uncertainty of the camera's orientation and focal length, and refers to the unknown relative position between the camera and the robot. Both N-R and EKF methods are employed towards the estimation of the six camera parameters. Based on the these six parameters estimated using three cameras, the robot's joint angles are computed with respect to the moving targets, using both N-R and EKF methods. The two robot vision control schemes are tested by tracking the moving target experimentally. Given the experimental results, the two robot control schemes are compared in order to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) is used to estimate friction and spring characteristics on the swash plate of a variable displacement pump. In earlier studies, the feasibility of the approach was established using simulation studies to establish limits of accuracy for the EKF approach when it was applied to an ideal situation. In this study, the EKF is applied to an experimental system and the issue of re liability in estimation of certain pump parameters is addressed. In addition, an approach to assign values to accommodate convergence of the EKF is considered. A special experimental system was set up to facilitate the measurement of certain states to enhance the EKF approach. Estimated parameters show ed some scatter about a specified operating point but in general, were reasonably repeatable. The study also showed that changes in the system parameters could be accurately tracked.

This paper presents decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained algorithm using extended Kalman filter(EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter(SPKF). EKF is propagated, analytically through the first-order linearization of the nonlinear system. This can introduce large errors in the true posterior mean and covariance of the Gaussian random variable. The SPKF addresses this problem by using a deterministic sampling approach. The features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizer And we investigate the bit error rate(BER) between EKF and SPKF.

This paper describes realtime visual tracking system of moving object for three dimensional target using EKF(Extended Kalman Filter). We present a new realtime visual tracking using EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm. We demonstrate the performance of these tracking algorithm through real experiment. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm and image prediction algorithm for realtime tracking and estimated state value of filter, predicting the position of moving object to minimize an image processing area, and by reducing the effect by quantization noise of image.

본 논문에서는 리튬 폴리머 배터리($LiFePO_4/C$)의 개방전압(OCV;open-circuit voltage) 히스테리시스 특성을 이용한 확장 칼만 필터(EKF;extended Kalman filter) 기반 state-of-charge(SOC) 추정방법을 소개한다. 배터리 등가회로의 중요 요소인 OCV 모델링을 위해 충전 및 방전 각각의 OCV 히스테리시스 특성을 고려하였고 더불어 OCV-SOC 관계의 SOC 간격을 10%에서 5%로 조정하여 EKF 기반 SOC 추정알고리즘의 성능이 향상되었다. 축소된 하이브리드 자동차용 전류프로파일을 적용했을 때 SOC 추정이 잘 이루어지지 않는 영역은 EKF의 측정방정식에 노이즈 모델 및 데이터 리젝션(data rejection)을 구축하였다. 제안된 방법을 이용하여 SOC 추정결과 전류적산법 대비 5%이내의 SOC 추정에러를 만족하였다.

In radar tracking, since the sensor measures range, azimuth and elevation angle of a target, the measurement equation is nonlinear and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to nonlinear estimation. The conventional EKF has been widely used as a nonlinear filter for radar tracking, but the considerably large measurement error due to the linearization of nonlinear function in highly nonlinear situations may deteriorate the performance of the EKF. To solve this problem, a fuzzy-model-based Kalman filter (FMBKF) is proposed for radar tracking. The FMBKP uses a local model approximation based on a TS fuzzy model instead of a Jacobian matrix to linearize nonlinear measurement equation. The hybrid GA and RLS method is used to identify the premise and the consequent parameters and the rule numbers of this TS fuzzy model. In two-dimensional radar tracking problem, the proposed method is compared with the conventional EKF.

This paper proposes how to improve the performance of CSS-based indoor localization system. CSS based localization utilizes signal flight time between anchors and tag to estimate distance. From the distances, the 3-dimensional position is calculated through trilateration. However the error in distance caused from multi-path effect transfers to the position error especially in indoor environment. This paper handles a problem of reducing error in raw distance information. And, we propose the new localization method by pattern matching instead of the conventional localization method based on trilateration that is affected heavily on multi-path error. The pattern matching method estimates the position by using the fact that the measured data of near positions possesses a high similarity. In order to gain better performance of localization, we use EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) to fuse the result of CSS based localization and robot model.

본 논문은 리튬 폴리머 배터리의 수명 감소에 대한 경향성 테스트를 토대로 이중 확장 칼만 필터(Dual EKF)를 이용하여 배터리의 SOC(State-of-Charge) 및 SOH(State-of-Charge) 방법을 제안하였다. 배터리에 수명에 따른 임피던스 변화를 테스트를 수행함으로써 등가회로 모델상에서 수명에 따른 변화가 가장 큰 내부 저항을 선택함으로써 배터리의 SOH 추정을 위해 선택하였다. 배터리 모델은 4.2V, 1440mAh의 리튬폴리머 전지에서 추출되었다. 배터리는 Bulk 커패시터, 두 개의 R-C회로, 직렬 저항을 사용하여 모델링하였다. Dual EKF를 모델에 적용하기 위해 캐패시터 전압은 개방 회로 전압(OCV)을 나타내는데 사용된다. Dual EKF는 충/방전 기기인 TOSCAT-5200에 의해 얻은 실험 데이터로 테스트하였다.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the process of building a map of an unknown environment and simultaneously localizing a robot relative to this map. SLAM is very important for the indoor navigation of a mobile robot and much research has been conducted on this subject. Although feature-based SLAM using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is widely used, it has shortcomings in that the computational complexity grows in proportion to the square of the number of features. This prohibits EKF-SLAM from operating in real time and makes it unfeasible in large environments where many features exist. This paper presents an algorithm which reduces the computational complexity of EKF-SLAM by using topological information (TI) extracted through a thinning process. The global map can be divided into local areas using the nodes of a thinning-based topological map. SLAM is then performed in local instead of global areas. Experimental results for various environments show that the performance and efficiency of the proposed EKF-SLAM/TI scheme are excellent.

본 연구에서는 최근에 개발된 Unscented Particle Filter (UPF)를 사용한 비선형 동적 구조계의 구조계수 규명기법이 연구되었다. 일반적인 비선형 구조계수 추정 문제의 일반 해는 존재하지 않으나, 그에 대한 대안으로써 선형 근사 기법인 extended Kalman filter (EKF)가 비선형 동적 구조계수의 추정에 주로 사용되어왔다. 그러나, EKF는 구간 선형(piecewise linear) 가정으로 인해 biased estimator이고 비선형성이 상대적으로 높을 때 오차가 큰 추정치를 주는 단점을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위해서 UPF가 개발되었고, 이 기법은 particle filter의 일종으로써 Unscented Kalman filter (UKF)를 사용하여 importance proposal distribution을 생성한다. 수치실험이 SDOF와 MDOF에 대하여 3가지 경우에 대해서 수행되었다. 비선형 SDOF의 수치 실험으로부터 잡음이 가해진 상태에서 UKF가 EKF에 비해 초기 공분산 행렬의 가정에 대해 정확하고 강인한 추정결과를 보여줌을 보였다 최하층의 column에 비선형 거동이 발생하는 5층 전단 빌딩모형의 수치실험으로부터 UKF가 복잡한 구조물의 구조계수 추정능력이 있음을 보여주었다. 여러 가지 수치실험은 UPF가 EKF보다 비선형 동적 구조계수 추정에 있어서 더 나은 방법임을 보여 주었다.
