These filters are designed to equalize each other's errors in the frequency domain, and thus when cascaded yield near-optimum frequency response. The technique is universal in the sense that it can be used to design filters in the minimax or the least-square-error sense. The initial SOPOT coefficients for the complementary filters are obtained by simple rounding to SOPOT values from an optimum real coefficient design. A localized search scheme is used to adjust the response of each of the filters such that the overall error from the ideal design is minimized. This process is repeated until convergence is reached. The cascaded complement design not only provides error equalization, but it also brings the SOPOT coefficients closer to optimum real values due to the convolution taking place between coefficients in the cascaded model.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121507169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal reduced-order filter is constructed using two-step L-K transformations for optimization. In step one, a K-transformation is utilized to construct an optimal-observer-type subfilter with order of n-m. An L-transformation is then used to build an optimal complementary subfilter with order m. The L and K matrices are determined to minimize the estimate error variances at each step. The order of the optimal reduced-order filter which combines two subfilters is max(n-m,m). When the dimension of the measurement vector is the same as that of state vector. the optimal reduced-order filter is then the Kalman filter (full order). Since two subfilters can be implemented by two processors in parallel, the proposed filter is computationally efficient.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131458331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former are based on the platform's (essentially instantaneous) range (time)-amplitude radar signature and are exploited through generation and analysis of the platform's ultrahigh range resolution (UHRR) profile. The latter are based on the platform's frequency-amplitude radar signature as represented in the time evolution of its high-resolution Doppler signature. The methodologies applicable to automatic, noncooperative recognition of platforms based on both these classes of techniques are discussed. The choice and implications of radar parameters, signal processing techniques, and pattern recognition techniques are discussed, compared, and evaluated in terms of their impact on recognition system performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133514000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phantom d.o.f. is considered as part of a robot kinematic velocity model and is activated only when the joint velocity exceeds its limit or at singularity configurations.

There are, however, situations in which this signal is not white. A simple iterative scheme for estimating colored sequences is presented. In this scheme, the colored plant noise is modeled as the output of a shaping filter excited by white noise. The shaping filter is considered as part of the plant while applying Mendel's minimum variance deconvolution (MVD) algorithm based on the Kalman filter to estimate the plant noise. To begin with, the shaping filter is just an identity filter. The estimated plant noise is then used to update its coefficients iteratively until the change in the coefficient values is small. The iterative scheme has been tested using simulated data under different conditions, and is found to perform quite well under certain situations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":250037,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1991 International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126197823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
