Two different previously proposed Extended Kalman Filter based chaotic schemes are revisited and implemented using the Unscented Kalman Filter. Also, a recently proposed antipodal chaotic communication scheme is implemented with both the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unsc...

In this paper, we consider chaotic communication using nonlinear filtering techniques. The main contribution of the paper is proposing a novel antipodal chaotic communication scheme, which is implemented with both the Extended Kalman Filter and the Unscented Kalman Filter. Two different previously proposed Extended Kalman Filter based chaotic schemes are also revisited and implemented using the...

A new method has been developed to approximate one Gaussian mixture by another in a process that generalizes the idea of importance re-sampling in a particle filter. This algorithm is being developed as part of an effort to generalize the concept of a particle filter. In a traditional particle filter, the underlying probability density function is described by particles: Dirac delta functions w...

This paper describes a Kalman filter for the real-time estimation of a rigid body orientation from measurements of acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field strength. A quaternion representation of the orientation is computationally effective and avoids problems with singularities. The nonlinear relationship between estimated orientation and expected measurement prevent the usage of a c...

This paper presents filtering solutions for estimating the relative trajectory of a spin stabilized satellite. The SPHERES satellites have been selected as the hardware testbed for implementing a Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter and novel Multiplicative Unscented Kalman Filter. Relative state measurements are provided by imaging fiducial markers on the target. The results from this analysi...

Integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial Navigation System (INS) integrated system involves nonlinear motion state and measurement models. However, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is commonly used as the estimation filter, which might lead to solution divergence. This is usually encountered during GPS outages, when low-cost micro-electro-mechanical sensors (MEMS) inertial se...

Particle filtering is probably the most widely accepted methodology for general nonlinear applications. The performance of a particle filter critically depends on choice proposal distribution. In this paper, we propose using wrapped normal distribution as angular data, i.e. data within finite range (-π,π]. We then use same method to derive density filter, in place standard ...
