Based on the theory of information fusion estimation, optimal control of nonlinear discrete control system is investi- gated. All information on control strategy, including ideal control strategy, expected object trajectory and dynamics of system, are regarded as measuring information of control strategy. Therefore, the problem of optimal control is transferred into the one of information fusion estimation. Firstly, the nonlinear information fusion estimation theorems are described. Secondly, an algorithm of nonlinear IFC theory is detailedly deduced. Finally, the simulation results of manipulator shift control are given, which show the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented algorithm.展开更多

Aiming at the comprehensive treatment of above problems, a novel two-stage prediction and update particle filte- ring algorithm based on particle weight optimization in multi-sensor observation is proposed. Firstly, combined with the construction of muhi-senor observation likelihood function and the weight fusion principle, a new particle weight optimization strategy in multi-sensor observation is presented, and the reliability and stability of particle weight are improved by decreasing weight variance. In addi- tion, according to the prediction and update mechanism of particle filter and unscented Kalman fil- ter, a new realization of particle filter with two-stage prediction and update is given. The filter gain containing the latest observation information is used to directly optimize state estimation in the frame- work, which avoids a large calculation amount and the lack of universality in proposal distribution optimization way. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.展开更多
