Mathematically Equivalent Approaches for Equality Constrained Kalman Filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
Kalman Filtering problems often have inherent and known constraints in the physical dynamics that are not exploited despite potentially significant gains (e.g., fixed speed of a motor). In this paper, we review existing methods and propose some new ideas for filtering in the presence of equality constraints. We then show that three methods for incorporating state space equality constraints are mathematically equivalent to the more general “Projection” method, which allows different weighting matrices when projecting the estimate. Still, the different approaches have advantages in implementations that may make one better suited than another for a given application.

Kalman Filtering with Equality and Inequality State Constraints
Both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems regularly appear in recursive tracking problems engineers currently address – however, constraints are rarely exploited for these applications. We define the Kalman Filter and discuss two different approaches to incorporating constraints. Each of these approaches are first applied to equality constraints and then extended to inequality co...

The problem of estimating the state vector of a dynamical system from vector measurements when it is known that the state vector satisfies norm equality constraints is considered. The case of a linear dynamical system with linear measurements subject to a norm equality constraint is discussed with a review of existing solutions. The norm constraint introduces a nonlinearity in the system for wh...
متن کاملA Stationary North-Finding Scheme for an Azimuth Rotational IMU Utilizing a Linear State Equality Constraint
The Kalman filter (KF) has always been used to improve north-finding performance under practical conditions. By analyzing the characteristics of the azimuth rotational inertial measurement unit (ARIMU) on a stationary base, a linear state equality constraint for the conventional KF used in the fine north-finding filtering phase is derived. Then, a constrained KF using the state equality constra...

متن کاملAircraft Turbofan Engine Health Estimation Using Constrained Kalman Filtering
Kalman filters are often used to estimate the state variables of a dynamic system. However, in the application of Kalman filters some known signal information is often either ignored or dealt with heuristically. For instance, state variable constraints (which may be based on physical considerations) are often neglected because they do not fit easily into the structure of the Kalman filter. This...
