In this paper we present the linear combination of a fuzzy opening and closing filter with locally adaptive structuring elements that can preserve the geometrical features of an image. Based on the adaptation algorithm of linear combination of the fuzzy opening and closing filter, the optimal structuring element for image representation is obtained. The optimal structuring element is an indicat...

this paper studies the use of unscented kalman filters (ukf) to estimate nonlinear dynamics and, specifically, adaptive determination of scaling parameters in these filters. due to lack of analytic solution and use of numerical methods instead, the computational load of these filters increases drastically. in this paper, a new method is proposed based on interactive multiple models (imm) which ...

The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...

abstract according to the adventages of passive radars they have been reconsidered recently due to development of signal processing technology. in the field of sea targets detection using passive radar few research have been reported. this paper presents a new method to detect sea targets using adaptive filter weights variation model and using the fact that the radar cross section of sea target...

We consider the problem of recovering of continuous multi-dimensional functions f from the noisy observations over the regular grid m−1Zd, m ∈ N∗. Our focus is at the adaptive estimation in the case when the function can be well recovered using a linear filter, which can depend on the unknown function itself. In the companion paper [26] we have shown in the case when there exists an adapted tim...

This paper proposes a new adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for a class of nonlinear systems perturbed by noise which is not necessarily additive. The proposed filter is adaptive against the uncertainty in the process and measurement noise covariances. This is accomplished by deriving two recursive updating rules for the noise covariances, these rules are easy to implement and reduce the n...

Against the range-dependent accuracy of the tracking radar measurements including range, elevation and bearing angles, a new hybrid adaptive Kalman filter is proposed to enhance the performance of the radar aided strapdown inertial navigation system (INS/Radar). This filter involves the concept of residual-based adaptive estimation and adaptive fading Kalman filter and tunes dynamically the fil...

in this paper, we deal with the problem of adaptive coherent signal detection in gaussian interference (clutter plus noise) for surveillance pulse radars. some of the adaptive radar detectors exploit the ar model for clutter. most of these detectors have been obtained using the glr test. this test relies on the maximum likelihood estimation whose accuracy depends on the number of data. whereas,...

Due to widespread use of Global Positioning System (GPS) in different applications, the issue of GPS signal interference cancelation is becoming an increasing concern. One of the most important intentional interferences is spoofing signals. An effective interference (delay spoof) reduction method based on adaptive filtering is developed in this paper. The principle of method is using adaptive f...

We are concerned with Bayesian identification and prediction of a nonlinear discrete stochastic process. The fact, that a nonlinear process can be approximated by a piecewise linear function advocates the use of adaptive linear models. We propose a linear regression model within a Rao-Blackwellized particle filter. The parameters of the linear model are adaptively estimated using a finite mixtu...
