By using several technologies including linearization method, penalty function, virtual observation equation, and equivalent weights method, the robust data reconciliation problem can be transformed into least squares estimator problem which leads to the convenience in computation. Simulation results in a nonlinear chemical process demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.展开更多

In order to obta...In micro-electro-mechanical system based inertial navigation system（MEMS-INS）/global position system（GPS） integrated navigation systems, there exist unknown disturbances and abnormal measurements. In order to obtain high estimation accuracy and enhance detection sensitivity to faults in measurements, this paper deals with the problem of model-based robust estimation（RE） and fault detection（FD）. A filter gain matrix and a post-filter are designed to obtain a RE and FD algorithm with current measurements, which is different from most of the existing priori filters using measurements in one-step delay. With the designed filter gain matrix, the H-infinity norm of the transfer function from noise inputs to estimation error outputs is limited within a certain range; with the designed post-filter, the residual signal is robust to disturbances but sensitive to faults. Therefore, the algorithm can guarantee small estimation errors in the presence of disturbances and have high sensitivity to faults. The proposed method is evaluated in an integrated navigation system, and the simulation results show that it is more effective in position estimation and fault signal detection than priori RE and FD algorithms.展开更多

Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring（RAIM） has been developed to provide integrity service for civil aviation. At first,the conventional RAIM algorithm is only suitable for single fault detection, single GNSS constellation. However, multiple satellite failure should be considered when more than one satellite navigation system are adopted. To detect and exclude multi-fault, most current algorithms perform an iteration procedure considering all possible fault model which lead to heavy computation burden. An alternative RAIM is presented in this paper based on multiple satellite constellations（for example, GPS and Bei Dou（BDS） etc.） and robust estimation for multi-fault detection and exclusion, which can not only detect multi-failures,but also control the influences of near failure observation. Besides, the RAIM algorithm based on robust estimation is more efficient than the current RAIM algorithm for multiple constellation and multiple faults. Finally, the algorithm is tested by GPS/Bei Dou data.展开更多

The sensitivity penalization based robust state estimation is extended to uncertain linear systems with deterministic input signals and parametric uncertainties which may nonlinearly affect a state-space plant model. The form of the derived robust estimator is similar to that of the well-known Kalman filter with a comparable computational complexity. Under a few weak assumptions, it is proved that though the derived state estimator is biased, the bound of estimation errors is finite and the covariance matrix of estimation errors is bounded. Numerical simulations show that the obtained robust filter has relatively nice estimation performances.展开更多

However, nominal cutting parameters cannot guarantee the stability of milling process at the shop floor level since there exists many uncertain factors in a practical manufacturing environment. This paper proposes a novel numerical method to estimate the upper and lower bounds of Lobe diagram, which is used to predict the milling stability in a robust way by taking into account the uncertain parameters of milling system. Time finite element method, a milling stability theory is adopted as the conventional deterministic model. The uncertain dynamics parameters are dealt with by the non-probabilistic model in which the parameters with uncertainties are assumed to be bounded and there is no need for probabilistic distribution densities functions. By doing so, interval instead of deterministic stability Lobe is obtained, which guarantees the stability of milling process in an uncertain milling environment, In the simulations, the upper and lower bounds of Lobe diagram obtained by the changes of modal parameters of spindle-tool system and cutting coefficients are given, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and can obtain satisfying bounds of Lobe diagrams. The proposed method is helpful for researchers at shop floor to making decision on machining parameters selection.展开更多

The proposed robust method is verified using 100 groups of clean/contaminated data reflecting he vertical profile irregularity taken from Bejing-Guangzhou railway with a sampling frequency of 33 data every ~10 m, and compared with the Auto Regressive (AR) model. The experimental results show that the proposed robust estimation is resistible to noise and insensitive to outliers, and is superior to the AR model in terms of efficiency, stability and reliability.展开更多

Static loading is an essential function of the load simulator and widely used in the static/dynamic stiffness test of aircraft actuation systems. The tracking performance of the static loading is studied in this paper. Firstly, the nonlinear mathematical models of the hydraulic load simulator are derived, and the feedback linearization method is employed to construct a feed-forward controller to improve the force tracking performance. Considering the effect of the friction, a LuGre model based friction compensation is synthesized, in which the unmeasurable state is estimated by a dual state observer via a controlled learning mechanism to guarantee that the estimation is bounded. The modeling errors are attenuated by a well-designed robust controller with a control accuracy measured by a design parameter. Employing the dual state observer is to capture the different effects of the unmeasured state and hence can improve the friction compensation accuracy. The tracking performance is summarized by a derived theorem. Experimental results are also obtained to verify the high performance nature of the proposed control strategy.展开更多

To get a series of computational equations, the uncertain part generated by theuncertain systematic matrix in the expression of the error-covariance matrix of time update stateestimation is optimized and the least upper bound of the uncertain part is given. By means of theseresults, the equivalent systematic matrix is obtained and a robust time update algorithm is builtup. On the other hand, uncertain parts generated by the uncertain observation matrix in theexpression of the error-covariance matrix of measurement update state estimation are optimized, andthe largest lower bound of the uncertain part is given. Thus both the time update and measurementupdate algorithms are developed. By means of the matrix inversion formula, the expression structuresof both time update and measurement update algorithms are all simplified. Moreover, the convergencecondition of a robust filter is developed to make the results easy to application. The results offlight data processing show that the method presented in this paper is efficient.展开更多

文摘Based on Bayesian theory and RANSAC,this paper applies Bayesian Sampling Consensus(BaySAC)method using convergence evaluation of hypothesis models in indoor point cloud processing.We implement a conditional sampling method,BaySAC,to always select the minimum number of required data with the highest inlier probabilities.Because the primitive parameters calculated by the different inlier sets should be convergent,this paper presents a statistical testing algorithm for a candidate model parameter histogram to compute the prior probability of each data point.Moreover,the probability update is implemented using the simplified Bayes’formula.The performances of the BaySAC algorithm with the proposed strategies of the prior probability determination and the RANSAC framework are compared using real data-sets.The experimental results indicate that the more outliers contain the data points,the higher computational efficiency of our proposed algorithm gains compared with RANSAC.The results also indicate that the proposed statistical testing strategy can determine sound prior inlier probability free of the change of hypothesis models.

文摘The conventional prediction of milling stability has been extensively studied based on the assumptions that the milling process dynamics is time invariant. However, nominal cutting parameters cannot guarantee the stability of milling process at the shop floor level since there exists many uncertain factors in a practical manufacturing environment. This paper proposes a novel numerical method to estimate the upper and lower bounds of Lobe diagram, which is used to predict the milling stability in a robust way by taking into account the uncertain parameters of milling system. Time finite element method, a milling stability theory is adopted as the conventional deterministic model. The uncertain dynamics parameters are dealt with by the non-probabilistic model in which the parameters with uncertainties are assumed to be bounded and there is no need for probabilistic distribution densities functions. By doing so, interval instead of deterministic stability Lobe is obtained, which guarantees the stability of milling process in an uncertain milling environment, In the simulations, the upper and lower bounds of Lobe diagram obtained by the changes of modal parameters of spindle-tool system and cutting coefficients are given, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and can obtain satisfying bounds of Lobe diagrams. The proposed method is helpful for researchers at shop floor to making decision on machining parameters selection.
文摘Because the existing spectral estimation methods for railway track irregularity analysis are very sensitive to outliers, a robust spectral estimation method is presented to process track irregularity signals. The proposed robust method is verified using 100 groups of clean/contaminated data reflecting he vertical profile irregularity taken from Bejing-Guangzhou railway with a sampling frequency of 33 data every ~10 m, and compared with the Auto Regressive (AR) model. The experimental results show that the proposed robust estimation is resistible to noise and insensitive to outliers, and is superior to the AR model in terms of efficiency, stability and reliability.

文摘Load simulator is a key test equipment for aircraft actuation systems in hardware-in-the-loop-simulation. Static loading is an essential function of the load simulator and widely used in the static/dynamic stiffness test of aircraft actuation systems. The tracking performance of the static loading is studied in this paper. Firstly, the nonlinear mathematical models of the hydraulic load simulator are derived, and the feedback linearization method is employed to construct a feed-forward controller to improve the force tracking performance. Considering the effect of the friction, a LuGre model based friction compensation is synthesized, in which the unmeasurable state is estimated by a dual state observer via a controlled learning mechanism to guarantee that the estimation is bounded. The modeling errors are attenuated by a well-designed robust controller with a control accuracy measured by a design parameter. Employing the dual state observer is to capture the different effects of the unmeasured state and hence can improve the friction compensation accuracy. The tracking performance is summarized by a derived theorem. Experimental results are also obtained to verify the high performance nature of the proposed control strategy.

文摘An optimized robust filtering algorithm for uncertain discrete-time systemsis presented. To get a series of computational equations, the uncertain part generated by theuncertain systematic matrix in the expression of the error-covariance matrix of time update stateestimation is optimized and the least upper bound of the uncertain part is given. By means of theseresults, the equivalent systematic matrix is obtained and a robust time update algorithm is builtup. On the other hand, uncertain parts generated by the uncertain observation matrix in theexpression of the error-covariance matrix of measurement update state estimation are optimized, andthe largest lower bound of the uncertain part is given. Thus both the time update and measurementupdate algorithms are developed. By means of the matrix inversion formula, the expression structuresof both time update and measurement update algorithms are all simplified. Moreover, the convergencecondition of a robust filter is developed to make the results easy to application. The results offlight data processing show that the method presented in this paper is efficient.

文摘Recursive algorithms are very useful for computing M-estimators of regression coefficients and scatter parameters. In this article, it is shown that for a nondecreasing ul （t）, under some mild conditions the recursive M-estimators of regression coefficients and scatter parameters are strongly consistent and the recursive M-estimator of the regression coefficients is also asymptotically normal distributed. Furthermore, optimal recursive M-estimators, asymptotic efficiencies of recursive M-estimators and asymptotic relative efficiencies between recursive M-estimators of regression coefficients are studied.
