Estimation Problems in Hybrid Systems [Hardcover]

A guide to how diverse sensors can be integrated to create enhanced controllers and estimators in a variety of situations.Recent developments in sensor and processor sophistication have created a need for effective estimation and control algorithms for hybrid, nonlinear systems. This book presents a highly effective, flexible family of estimation algorithms that can be used in estimating or controlling a wide variety of nonlinear plants. Several applications are studied, including tracking a maneuvering aircraft, automatic target recognition, and the decoding of signals transmitted across a wireless communications link. The book will be of great interest to anyone involved in the study or design of estimation, tracking or wireless communications systems.Recent developments in sensor and processor sophistication have created a need for effective estimation and control algorithms for hybrid, nonlinear systems.
