Weighted Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter for Image Assimilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an extension of the Weighted Ensemble Kalman filter (WEnKF) proposed by Papadakis et al. (2010) for the assimilation of image observations. The main contribution of this paper consists in a novel formulation of the Weighted filter with the Ensemble Transform Kalman filter (WETKF) incorporating directly as a measurement model a nonlinear image reconstruction criterion. This technique has been compared to the original WEnKF on numerical and real world data of 2D turbulence observed through the transport of a passive scalar. It has been in particular applied for the reconstruction of oceanic surface current vorticity fields from Sea Surface Temperature satellite data. This latter technique enables a consistent recovery of oceanic surface currents, vorticity maps along time in presence of large missing data areas and strong noise.

Multiscale Weighted Ensemble Kalman Filter for Fluid Flow Estimation
This paper proposes a novel multi-scale fluid flow data assimilation approach, which integrates and complements the advantages of a Bayesian sequential assimilation technique, the Weighted Ensemble Kalman filter (WEnKF) [12], and an improved multiscale stochastic formulation of the Lucas-Kanade (LK) estimator. The proposed scheme enables to enforce a physically plausible dynamical consistency o...

متن کاملData Assimilation by Morphing Fast Fourier Transform Ensemble Kalman Filter for Precipitation Forecasts using Radar Images
The FFT EnKF takes advantage of the theory of random fields and the FFT to provide a good and cheap approximation of the state covariance with a very small ensemble. The method and predecessor components are explained and the method is extended to the case of observations given on a rectangular subdomain, suitable for assimilation of regional radar images into a weather model.

The regional waters in Singapore Strait are characterized by complex hydrodynamic phenomena as a result of the combined effect of three large water bodies viz. the South China Sea, the Andaman Sea, and the Java Sea. This leads to anomalies in water levels and generates residual currents. Numerical hydrodynamic models are generally used for predicting water levels in the ocean and seas. But thei...
متن کاملKalman filter data assimilation: targeting observations and parameter estimation.
This paper studies the effect of targeted observations on state and parameter estimates determined with Kalman filter data assimilation (DA) techniques. We first provide an analytical result demonstrating that targeting observations within the Kalman filter for a linear model can significantly reduce state estimation error as opposed to fixed or randomly located observations. We next conduct ob...
