Distributed H_∞ fusion filter design for INS/WSN integrated positioning system

In order to keep stable navigation accuracy when the blind node （BN） moves between two adjacent clusters, a distributed fusion method for the integration of the inertial navigation system （INS） and the wireless sensor network （WSN） based on H∞ filtering is proposed. Since the process and measurement noise in the integration system are bounded and their statistical characteristics are unknown, the H∞ filter is used to fuse the information measured from local estimators in the proposed method. Meanwhile, the filter can yield the optimal state estimate according to certain information fusion criteria. Simulation results show that compared with the federal Kalman solution, the proposed method can reduce the mean error of position by about 45% and the mean error of velocity by about 85 %.

The algorithm has been implemented on cluster-based high performance computers. Experimental results show that the method produces precise estimation in considerably reduced execution time.

MULTISENSOR DISTRIBUTED EXTENDED KALMAN FILTERING ALGORITHM AND ITS APPLICATION TO RADAR/IR TARGET TRACKING

A multisensor distributed extended Kalman filtering algorithm is presented for nonlinear system, in which the dynamic equation of the system and the equations of sensor’s measurements are linearized in the global estimate and global prediction respectively and the suboptimal global estimate based on all available information can be reconstructed from the estimates computed by local sensors based solely on their own local information and transmitted to the data fusion center. An analysis of the properties of the algorithm presented here shows that the global estimate has higher precision than the local one and smaller linearization error than the existing method. Finally, an application of the algorithm to radar/IR tracking of a maneuvering target is illustrated. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Distributed Filtering Algorithm Based on Tunable Weights Under Untrustworthy Dynamics

Aiming at effective fusion of a system state estimate of sensor network under attack in an untrustworthy environment, distributed filtering algorithm based on tunable weights is proposed. Considering node location and node influence over the network topology, a distributed filtering algorithm is developed to evaluate the certainty degree firstly. Using the weight reallocation approach, the weights of the attacked nodes are assigned to other intact nodes to update the certainty degree, and then the weight composed by the certainty degree is used to optimize the consensus protocol to update the node estimates. The proposed algorithm not only improves accuracy of the distributed filtering, but also enhances consistency of the node estimates. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Study on optimal state estimation strategy with dual distributed controllers based on Kalman filtering

Considering dual distributed controllers, a design of optimal state estimation strategy is studied for the wireless sensor and actuator network(WSAN). In particular, the optimal linear quadratic(LQ) control strategy with estimated plant state is formulated as a non-cooperative game with network-induced delays. Then, using the Kalman filter approach, an optimal estimation of the plant state is obtained based on the information fusion of the distributed controllers. Finally, an optimal state estimation strategy is derived as a linear function of the current estimated plant state and the last control strategy of multiple controllers. The effectiveness of the proposed closed-loop control strategy is verified by the simulation experiments.

A Distributed Particle Filter Applied in Single Object Tracking

Visual object-tracking is a fundamental task applied in many applications of computer vision. Particle filter is one of the techniques which has been widely used in object tracking. Due to the virtue of extendability and flexibility on both linear and non-linear environments, various particle filter-based trackers have been proposed in the literature. However, the conventional approach cannot handle very large videos efficiently in the current data intensive information age. In this work, a parallelized particle filter is provided in a distributed framework provided by the Hadoop/Map-Reduce infrastructure to tackle object-tracking tasks. The experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm has a better convergence and accuracy as compared to the traditional particle filter. The computational power and the scalability of the proposed particle filter in single object tracking have been enhanced as well.

Delay-dependent decentralized H_∞ filtering for uncertain interconnected systems

This article considers delay dependent decentralized H∞ filtering for a class of uncertain interconnected systems, where the uncertainties are assumed to be time varying and satisfy the norm-bounded conditions. First, combining the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach and the delay integral inequality of matrices, a sufficient condition of the existence of the robust decentralized H∞ filter is derived, which makes the error systems asymptotically stable and satisfies the H∞ norm of the transfer function from noise input to error output less than the specified up-bound on the basis of the form of uncertainties. Then, the above sufficient condition is transformed to a system of easily solvable LMIs via a series of equivalent transformation. Finally, the numerical simulation shows the efficiency of the main results.

A Filter-Based Uniform Algorithm for Optimizing Top-k Query in Distributed Networks

In this paper we propose a Filter-based Uniform Algorithm （FbUA） for optimizing top-κ query in distributed networks, which has been a topic of much recent interest. The basic idea of FhUA is to set a filter at each node to pre vent it from sending out the data with little chance to contrib ute to the top-κ result. FbUA can gain exact answers to top-κ query through two phrases of round trip communications between query station and participant nodes. The experiment results show that FbUA reduces network bandwidth consumption dramatically.

Distributed H2/H∞ Filter Design for Discrete-Time Switched Systems

This paper addresses an infinite horizon distributed H2/H∞ filtering for discrete-time systems under conditions of bounded power and white stochastic signals. The filter algorithm is designed by computing a pair of gains namely the estimator and the coupling. Herein, we implement a filter to estimate unknown parameters such that the closed-loop multi-sensor accomplishes the desired performances of the proposed H2 and H∞ schemes over a finite horizon. A switched strategy is implemented to switch between the states once the operation conditions have changed due to disturbances. It is shown that the stability of the overall filtering-error system with H2/H∞ performance can be established if a piecewise-quadratic Lyapunov function is properly constructed. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Robust H_∞ filtering for discrete-time systems with Markovian switching and time-delays

The robust H∞ filtering problem for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems with mode- dependent time-delays is investigated. Attention is focused on designing a Markovian jump linear filter that ensures robust stochastic stability while achieving a prescribed H∞ performance level of the resulting filtering error system, for all admissible uncertainties. The key features of the approach include the introduction of a new type of stochastic Lyapunov functional and some free weighting matrix variables. Sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem are obtained in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the reduced conservatism of the proposed approach.

Delay-dependent Non-fragile H_∞ Filtering for Uncertain Fuzzy Systems Based on Switching Fuzzy Model and Piecewise Lyapunov Function

This paper is concerned with the non-fragile H∞ filter design problem for uncertain discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy systems with time delay. To begin with, the T-S fuzzy system is transformed to an equivalent switching fuzzy system. Then, based on the piecewise Lyapunov function and matrix decoupling technique, a new delay-dependent non-fragile H∞ filtering method is proposed for the switching fuzzy system. The proposed condition is less conservative than the previous results. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the filter parameters can be solved directly. Finally, a design example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed design approach.
