Firstly,virtual observations were generated from the latest observation,and two sampling strategies were presented. Then,the previous time particles were sampled by utilizing the function inversion relationship between observation and system state. Finally,the current time particles were generated on the basis of the previous time particles and the system one-step state transition model. By the above method,sampling particles can make full use of the latest observation information and the priori modeling information,so that they further approximate the true state. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the new algorithm filtering accuracy and real-time outperform obviously the standard particle filter,the extended Kalman particle filter and the unscented particle filter.展开更多

Traditional nonlinear state estimation method is extended Kalman filtering (EKF), which is to do the first level Taylor series extension. It will cause an inaccuracy or even a scatter estimation result on condition that there is either a highly nonlinear target or a large noise square-error. Besides, Kalman filtering is the optimal resolution under a Gaussian noise assumption, and is not suitable to the non-Gaussian condition. PF is a sort of statistic filtering based on Monte Carlo simulation that is using some random samples (particles) to simulate the posterior probability density of system random variables. This method can be used in any nonlinear random system. It can be concluded through simulation that PF can achieve higher accuracy than the traditional EKF.展开更多

However, efficient distribution of the limited number of particles （n state space remains a critical issue in designing a particle filter. A simplified unscented particle filter （SUPF） is presented, where particles are drawn partly from the transition prior density （TPD） and partly from the Gaussian approximate posterior density （GAPD） obtained by a unscented Kalman filter. The ratio of the number of particles drawn from TPD to the number of particles drawn from GAPD is adaptively determined by the maximum likelihood ratio （MLR）. The MLR is defined to measure how well the particles, drawn from the TPD, match the likelihood model. It is shown that the particle set generated by this sampling strategy is more close to the significant region in state space and tends to yield more accurate results. Simulation results demonstrate that the versatility and es- timation accuracy of SUPF exceed that of standard particle filter, extended Kalman particle filter and unscented particle filter.展开更多

The traditional PF maps from multi-dimensional information to onedimensional information during particle weight calculation, and the incorrect transmission of information leads to the fact that the particle prediction information does not match the weight information, and its essence is the reduction of the information entropy of the useful information. To solve this problem, a dual channel independent filtering method is proposed based on the idea of equalization mapping. Firstly, the particle prediction performance is described by particle manipulations of different dimensions, and the accuracy of particle prediction is improved. The improvement of particle degradation of this algorithm is analyzed in the aspects of particle weight and effective particle number. Secondly, according to the problem of lack of particle samples, the new particles are generated based on the filtering results, and the particle diversity is increased. Finally, the introduction of the graphics processing unit（GPU） parallel computing the platform, the “channel-level” and “particlelevel” parallel computing the program are designed to accelerate the algorithm. The simulation results show that the algorithm has the advantages of better filtering precision, higher particle efficiency and faster calculation speed compared with the traditional algorithm of the CPU platform.展开更多

The delay occurs in a multi-step and asynchronous manner, and the delay probability of each sensor is assumed to be known or unknown. Firstly, a new model is constructed to describe the measurement process, based on which a new particle filter is developed with the ability to fuse multi-sensor information in the case of known delay probability.In addition, an online delay probability estimation module is introduced in the particle filtering framework, which leads to another new filter that can be implemented without the prior knowledge of delay probability. More importantly, since there is no complex iterative operation, the resulting filter can be implemented recursively and is suitable for many real-time applications. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed filters.展开更多

Firstly, the system equation was updated by introducing a correction term, which depends on the current measurement and can be obtained by running a suboptimal filter. Then, a new importance density function(IDF) was defined by the updated system equation. Particles drawn from the new IDF are more likely to be in the significant region of state space and the estimation accuracy can be improved. By using different suboptimal filter, different particle filters(PFs) can be developed in this framework. Extensions of this idea were also proposed by iteratively updating the system equation using particle filter itself, resulting in the iterated particle filter.

Firstly, the system equation was updated by introducing a correction term, which depends on the current measurement and can be obtained by running a suboptimal filter. Then, a new importance density function(IDF) was defined by the updated system equation. Particles drawn from the new IDF are more likely to be in the significant region of state space and the estimation accuracy can be improved. By using different suboptimal filter, different particle filters(PFs) can be developed in this framework.
