This paper presents decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained algorithm using extended Kalman filter(EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter(SPKF). EKF is propagated, analytically through the first-order linearization of the nonlinear system. This can introduce large errors in the true posterior mean and covariance of the Gaussian random variable. The SPKF addresses this problem by using a deterministic sampling approach. The features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizer And we investigate the bit error rate(BER) between EKF and SPKF.

A recurrent neural network has been frequently used in equalizing the channel for fast communication systems. The existing techniques, however, have mainly dealt with time-invariant chamois. The modern environments of communication systems such as mobile ones have the time-varying feature due to fading. In this paper, powerful decision feedback - recurrent neural network is used as channel equalizer for nonlinear and time-varying system, and two kinds of algorithms, such as extended Kalman filter (EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF), are proposed; EKF is for fast convergence and good tracing function, and SPKF for overcoming the problems which can be developed during the process of first linearization for nonlinear system EKF.

In this paper, an estimation scheme based on an augmented sigma-point Kalman filter to estimate the state of charge (SOC) of the battery is presented, where the battery parameters of the series resistance ($R_o$), diffusion capacitance ($C_1$) and resistance ($R_1$) are also estimated through the recursive least squares (RLS) for better accuracy of the SOC. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

The precision of sensors' position is particularly important in the application of road extraction or digital map generation. In general, the various ranging solution systems such as GPS, Total Station, and Laser Ranger have been employed for the position of the sensor. Basically, the ranging solution system has problems that the signal may be blocked or degraded by various environmental circumstances and has low temporal resolution. To overcome those limitations a IMU/range integrated system could be introduced. In this paper, after pointing out the limitation of extended Kalman filter which has been used for workhorse in navigation and geodetic community, the two sampling based nonlinear filters which are sigma point Kalman filter using nonlinear transformation and carefully chosen sigma points and particle filter using the non-gaussian assumption are implemented and compared with extended Kalman filter in a simulation test. For the ranging solution system, the GPS and Total station was selected and the three levels of IMUs(IMU400C, HG1700, LN100) are chosen for the simulation. For all ranging solution system and IMUs the sampling based nonlinear filter yield improved position result and it is more noticeable that the superiority of nonlinear filter in low temporal resolution such as 5 sec. Therefore, it is recommended to apply non-linear filter to determine the sensor's position with low degree position sensors.

In this paper, we present a novel blind adaptive multiuser detector structure and three robust recursive filters to improve the performance in CDMA environments: Sigma point kalman filter (SPKF), particle filter (PF), and Gaussian mixture sigma point particle filter (GMSPPF). Our proposed robust recursive filters have superior performance over a conventional extended Kalman filter (EKF). The proposed multiuser detector algorithms initially use Kalman prediction form to estimated channel parameters, and unknown data symbol be predicted. Second, based on this predicted data symbol, the robust recursive filters (e.g., GMSPPF) is a refined estimation of joint multipaths and time delays. With these estimated multipaths and time delays, data symbol detection is carried out (Kalman correction form). Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithms outperform the conventional blind multiuser detector with the EKF. Also we can see it provides a more viable means for tracking time-varying amplitudes and time delays in CDMA communication systems, compared to that of the EKF for near-far ratio of 20 dB. For this reason, it is believed that the proposed channel estimators can replace well-known filter such as the EKF.

In this paper, a novel scheme for the condition monitoring of lithium polymer batteries is proposed, based on the sigma-point Kalman filter (SPKF) theory. For this, a runtime-based battery model is derived, from which the state-of-charge (SOC) and the capacity of the battery are accurately predicted. By considering the variation of the serial ohmic resistance ($R_o$) in this model, the estimation performance is improved. Furthermore, with the SPKF, the effects of the sensing noise and disturbance can be compensated and the estimation error due to linearization of the nonlinear battery model is decreased. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by Matlab/Simulink simulation and experimental results. The results have shown that in the range of a SOC that is higher than 40%, the estimation error is about 1.2% in the simulation and 1.5% in the experiment. In addition, the convergence time in the SPKF algorithm can be as fast as 300 s.

The unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which is widely used to estimate the states of nonlinear dynamic systems, can be improved to realize robust system identification by using multiple sigma-point sets. When using Kalman filter methods for system identification, artificial noises must be appropriately selected to achieve optimal estimation performance. Additionally, an appropriate scaling factor for the sigma-points must be selected to capture the nonlinearity of the state-space model. This study entailed the use of Bouc-Wen hysteresis model to examine the nonlinear behavior of a single-degree-of-freedom oscillator. On the basis of the effects of the selected artificial noises and scaling factor, a new UKF method using multiple sigma-point sets was devised for improved robustness of the estimation over various signal-to-noise-ratio values. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can accurately track nonlinear system states even when the measurement noise levels are high, while being robust to the selection of artificial noise levels.

This work demonstrates a dead-reckoning (DR) scheme for a low-cost land navigation system and a DR/GPS system design using the sigma point Kalman filter (SPKF). T hrough an observability analysis and some simulations, it is shown that the performances of a stand-alone DR system and DR/GPS system can be improved by employing the proposed DR scheme and SPKF. By using the designed DR scheme and filter, the stand-alone DR system does not have any undetectable errors occurring on the curve trajectory. And the DR/GPS system can provide a stable and seamless navigational solution even in the case where the initial heading estimation error is large, such as 160 degrees, or when the GPS signal is unavailable due to tunnels, buildings, and so on. Simulation results indicate a satisfactory performance of the proposed system.

This paper describes a DR construction for land navigation and the sigma point based receding horizon Kalman FIR (SPRHKF) filter for DR/GPS hybrid navigation system. A simple DR construction is adopted to improve the performance both of the pure land DR navigation and the DR/GSP hybrid navigation system. In order to overcome the flaws of the EKF, the SPKF is merged with the receding horizon strategy. This filter has several advantages over the EKF, the SPKF, and the RHKF filter. The advantages include the robustness to the system model uncertainty, the initial estimation error, temporary unknown bias, and etc. The computational burden is reduced. Especially, the proposed filter works well even in the case of exiting the unmodeled random walk of the inertial sensors, which can be occurred in the MEMS inertial sensors by temperature variation. Therefore, the SPRHKF filter can provide the navigation information with good quality in the DR/GPS hybrid navigation system for land navigation seamlessly.

In this paper, an innovative robust feature detection and matching strategy for visual odometry based on stereo image sequence is proposed. First, a sparse multiscale 2D local invariant feature detection and description algorithm AKAZE is adopted to extract the interest points. A robust feature matching strategy is introduced to match AKAZE descriptors. In order to remove the outliers which are mismatched features or on dynamic objects, an improved random sample consensus outlier rejection scheme is presented. Thus the proposed method can be applied to dynamic environment. Then, geometric constraints are incorporated into the motion estimation without time-consuming 3-dimensional scene reconstruction. Last, an iterated sigma point Kalman Filter is adopted to refine the motion results. The presented ego-motion scheme is applied to benchmark datasets and compared with state-of-the-art approaches with data captured on campus in a considerably cluttered environment, where the superiorities are proved.
