Statistical properties of the error covariance in a Kalman filter with random measurement losses
In this paper we study statistical properties of the error covariance matrix of a Kalman filter, when it is subject to random measurement losses. We introduce a sequence of tighter...

Optimal UAV coordination for target tracking using dynamic programming
This work focuses on optimal routing for two camera-equipped UAVs cooperatively tracking a single target moving on the ground. The UAVs are small fixed-wing aircraft cruising at a ...

An adaptive-covariance-rank algorithm for the unscented Kalman filter
Abstract-- The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a nonlinear estimator that is particularly well suited for complex nonlinear systems. In the UKF, the error covariance is estimated ...

Forecast sensitivity to the observation error covariance in variational data assimilation
The development of the adjoint of the forecast model and of the adjoint of the data assimilation system (adjoint-DAS) make feasible the evaluation of the derivative-based forecast...

Probabilistic performance of state estimation across a lossy network
We consider a discrete time state estimation problem over a packet-based network. In each discrete time step, a measurement packet is sent across a lossy network to an estimator u...
