Damage Detection for Continuous Bridge Based on Static-Dynamic Condensation and Extended Kalman Filtering

On-Line Nonlinear Dynamic Data Reconciliation Using Extended Kalman Filtering: Application to a Distillation Column and a CSTR

Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) is a nonlinear dynamic data reconciliation (NDDR) method. One of its main advantages is its suitability for on-line applications. This paper presents an on-line NDDR method using EKF. It is implemented for two case studies, temperature measurements of a distillation column and concentration measurements of a CSTR. In each time step, random numbers with zero m...

Marine Object Detection Based on Kalman Filtering

347 Abstract— 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 p...

Computational Aspects of Continuous-Discrete Extended Kalman-Filtering

This paper elaborates how the time update of the continuous-discrete extended Kalman-Filter (EKF) can be computed in the most efficient way. The specific structure of the EKF-moment differential equations leads to a new Taylor-Heun-approximation of the nonlinear vector field. Furthermore, the order of consistency and stability behavior of the outlined procedure is investigated. The results are ...

Pixel-Based Skin Detection for Pornography Filtering

A robust skin detector is the primary need of many fields of computer vision, including face detection, gesture recognition, and pornography filtering. Less than 10 years ago, the first paper on automatic pornography filtering was published. Since then, different researchers claim different color spaces to be the best choice for skin detection in pornography filtering. Unfortunately, no com...
