This paper presents a performance evaluation of nonlinear filtering with Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) algorithm for implementation on Indonesian coastal radar target tracking system. On this radar, target motion is modeled using Cartesian coordinate but target position measurements are provided in polar coordinate (range and azimuth). For this implementation, we investigated two types of no...

Multiple sensor fusion for robot localisation and navigation has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. This paper describes a sensor based navigation approach using an interval analysis (IA) based adaptive mechanism for an Unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The robot is equipped with inertial sensors (INS), encoders and ultrasonic sensors. An UKF is used to estimate the robot position using ...

This paper focuses on the update step of Bayesian nonlinear ltering. We rst derive the unscented Gaussian likelihood approximation lter (UGLAF), which provides a Gaussian approximation to the likelihood by applying the unscented transformation to the inverse of the measurement function. The UGLAF approximation is accurate in the cases where the unscented Kalman lter (UKF) is not and the other w...

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained with gradient-based algorithms such as real-time recurrent learning or back-propagation through time have a drawback of slow convergence rate. These algorithms also need the derivative calculation through the error back-propagation process. In this paper, a derivative-free Kalman filter, so called the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), for training a fully c...

Artemisinin derivatives are well-tolerated anti-malaria drugs that also exert anti-cancer activity. Here, we investigated artemisinin and its derivatives dihydroartemisinin and artesunate in a panel of chemosensitive and chemoresistant human neuroblastoma cells as well as in primary neuroblastoma cultures. Only dihydroartemisinin and artesunate affected neuroblastoma cell viability with artesun...

The continue-time unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is developed to estimate the state of a jet transport aircraft. The UKF is based on the nonlinear longitudinal aircraft equations of motion, and it is designed to provide estimates of horizontal and vertical atmospheric wind inputs. The optimal state and disturbance estimates are incorporated in feedback control laws based on the slowand fast-time...

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for nonlinear state estimation with both additive and nonadditive noise structures are presented and compared. Three different Global Positioning System (GPS)/inertial navigation system (INS) sensor fusion formulations for attitude estimation are used as case studies for the nonlinear state estimation problem. A diverse set of a...

The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) was applied to state and parameter estimation of a one degree of freedom robot link with an elastic, cable-driven transmission. Only motor encoder and command torque data was used as input to the filter. The UKF was used offline for joint state and model-parameter estimation, and online for state estimation. This paper presents an analysis of the robustness of ...

This paper proposes a method for mobile robot localization in a partially unknown indoor environment. The method fuses two types of range measurements: the range from the robot to the beacons measured by ultrasonic sensors and the range from the robot to the walls surrounding the robot measured by a laser range finder (LRF). For the fusion, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is utilized. Because...

Diffusion MRI tractography is increasingly used in pre-operative neurosurgical planning to visualize critical fiber tracts. However, a major challenge for conventional tractography, especially in patients with brain tumors, is tracing fiber tracts that are affected by vasogenic edema, which increases water content in the tissue and lowers diffusion anisotropy. One strategy for improving fiber t...
