Fitting Ellipses and Predicting Confidence Envelopes using a Bias Corrected Kalman Filter
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the use of the Kalman filter to find optimal fits to short sections of ellipse data and to predict confidence envelopes in order to facilitate search for further ellipse data. The extended Kalman filter in its usual form is shown not to reduce the well known bias to high curvature involved in least squares ellipse fitting. This problem is overcome by developing a linear bias correction for the extended Kalman filter. The estimate covariance is used to evaluate confidence envelopes for the fitted ellipse. Performance is shown on both real and synthetic data.

Doppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter
The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...
متن کاملDynamic Sensor Bias Correction for Attitude Estimation Using Unscented Kalman Filter in Autonomous Vehicle
Abstract. This paper describes a method for estimating sensor biases by using a lowdimensional Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) to maintain the positional estimation accuracy of an autonomous vehicle (AV). It is difficult to estimate attitude accurately in a blind situation (such as with no GPS satellites and no landmarks), because of sensor bias. We developed a dead reckoning system for an embedd...
متن کاملSolving Incrementally the Fitting and Detection Problems in fMRI Time Series
We tackle the problem of real-time statistical analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In a recent paper, we proposed an incremental algorithm based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) to fit fMRI time series in terms of a general linear model with autoregressive errors (GLM-AR model). We here improve the technique using a new Kalman filter variant specifically tailored t...
متن کاملImplementation of a Low- Cost Multi- IMU by Using Information Form of a Steady State Kalman Filter
In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...
