Objective
     Consider a vehicle moving

     •      Desired to measure the velocity accurately
     •      Velocity is directly measured but is noisy
     •      Acceleration also measured using onboard accelerometers
     •      Integrating acceleration data gives velocity
     •      Offset errors in acc./random walk cause drift in velocity

     Standard solution
     • Kalman filter with optimal gain K for sensor data fusion
     • Estimate by combining velocity and acc. measurement

Problem specifics
   • Acceleration and velocity are measured using noisy sensor

   • Direct velocity measurement is noisy
     ( v     m/s)

   • Acceleration is measured with
       a             = 0.1 m/s2
     offset          = 0.2 m/s2 (DRIFT)
     Superposed sine wave drive
     Amplitude A = 3 m/s2,
     frequency f     = 0.05 Hz
     Sample time Ts = 0.1 s

   • Simulated time = 200s - 400s

Measured velocity noisy data
   (True velocity is smooth sine wave of amp 10, period 20 s)

Advantages
   •      No matrix calculations
   •      Easier computation, can be easily scaled
   •      Equivalent to Kalman filter structure (easily proven)
   •      No drift (the error converges to 0)
   •      Estimate accelerometer drift in the system by default
   •      Drift est. for calib. and real time comp. of accelerometers

Advantages.
  • Can be modified easily to make tradeoff between drift
         performance (convergence) and noise reduction
  • Systematic technique for parameter calculations
  • No trial and error

    1.             Drift       •Drift is a major problem   •Guaranteed automatic convergence.
                               (depends inversely on K)    •No prior measurement of offset and
                               •Needs considerable         characterization required.
                               characterization.(Offset,   •Not sensitive to temperature induced
                               temperature calibration     variable drift etc.
                               etc).
    2.             Convergence •Non-Zero measurement       •Always converges
                               and process noise           •No assumptions on variances required
                               covariance required else    •Never leads to a singular solution
                               leads to singularity
    3.             Method         •Two distinct phases:    •Can be implemented in a few single

                                                           continuum.

                                • ‘termed as optimal’           suboptimal (based on tradeoff)
   6.            Processor req. •Needs 32 Bit floating point    •Easily implementable in 16 bit

                                and plenty of MIPS/             MIPS/computation is sufficient
