Robust outliers detection and classification for USBL underwater positioning systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a data classification algorithm able to detect corrupted measurements as outliers, with application to underwater ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic positioning systems. The devised framework is based on causal median filters that are readily implementable, and a set of theoretical analysis tools that allows for the design of the filter parameters is also presented. The design takes into account very specific implementation details of USBL acoustic positioning systems and also inherent non-ideal characteristics that include long period data outages. The outlier classifier is evaluated both in simulation and with experimental data from a prototype USBL acoustic positioning system fully developed in-house.

The article presents a study of the accuracy of estimating the position coordinates of BAUV (Biomimetic Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) by the extended Kalman filter (EKF) method. The fusion of movement parameters measurements and position coordinates fixes was applied. The movement parameters measurements are carried out by on-board navigation devices, while the position coordinates fixes are d...
متن کاملA robust wavelet based profile monitoring and change point detection using S-estimator and clustering
Some quality characteristics are well defined when treated as response variables and are related to some independent variables. This relationship is called a profile. Parametric models, such as linear models, may be used to model profiles. However, in practical applications due to the complexity of many processes it is not usually possible to model a process using parametric models.In these cas...
متن کاملRobustified distance based fuzzy membership function for support vector machine classification
Fuzzification of support vector machine has been utilized to deal with outlier and noise problem. This importance is achieved, by the means of fuzzy membership function, which is generally built based on the distance of the points to the class centroid. The focus of this research is twofold. Firstly, by taking the advantage of robust statistics in the fuzzy SVM, more emphasis on reducing the im...
