Abstract:
When the primary measurement sensor is passive in nature--by which we mean that it does not directly measure range or range rate--there are well-documented challenges for target state estimation. Most estimation schemes rely on variations of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), which, in certain situations, suffer from divergence and/or covariance collapse. For this and other reasons, we believe that the Kalman filter is fundamentally ill-suited to the problems that are inherent in target state estimation using passive sensors. As an alternative, we propose a bounded-error (or set-membership)

Abstract:
In this thesis, we present a real time feedback control strategy to optimize the dynamic performance of computer communication network. In previous studies [8-10], feedback delay, arising from communication delay, was shown to degrade system performance. Considering this negative impact of delay, we propose a new control law which predicts, in advance, the traffic and exercises control based on the predicted traffic. In experiments, we apple the token bucket (TB) mechanism to construct a discrete dynamic system model [8-10], in which one multiplexor, linked to all the TBs, multiplexes the conf

Hops are one of the four main ingredients used to produce beer. Many studies have been done to analyze the science behind growing and harvesting hops, creating hop hybrids, and how to brew beer with hops. However, there has been little research done revolving around the economic demand and supply model of the hop market. The objectives of this study are to create an econometric model of supply and demand of hops in the United States from 1981 to 2012, and to identify important exogenous variables that explain the supply and demand of hops using the two-stage least squares (2SLS) method of anal

By inverting the models and solving for critical controls at the known envelope limits, critical control inputs are calculated as well.

Thesis: Ph.

Unfortunately, these algorithms are not robust to outliers and even a single faulty measurement can cause a catastrophic failure of the navigation system. This thesis proposes several novel rob

Abstract:
Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis presents the development of a state estimation system for use in an Autonomous Airborne Refueling (AAR) operation through the simulated implementation of GPS, monocular and stereoscopic vision, inertial measurement sensors and boom parameter measurement in combination with the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). A set of functional criteria for the estimation system was developed through an analysis of the control system input requirements and associated constraints. The estimation
