Noom, J. (author), Smith, C.S. (author), Verbiest, G.J. (author), Katan, A.J. (author), Soloviev, O.A. (author), Verhaegen, M.H.G. (author)We propose to use the State Estimation by Sum-of-Norms Regularisation (STATESON-)algorithm for recovering the tip-sample interaction in high-speed tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM). This approach enables accurate sample height estimation for each independent cantilever oscillation period, provided that the tip-sample interaction...journal article 2023

Bertipaglia, A. (author), Shyrokau, B. (author), Alirezaei, Mohsen (author), Happee, R. (author)This paper presents a novel methodology to auto-tune an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). It involves using a Two-Stage Bayesian Optimisation (TSBO), based on a t-Student Process to optimise the process noise parameters of a UKF for vehicle sideslip angle estimation. Our method minimises performance metrics, given by the average sum of the states’...conference paper 2022

Money, Rohan (author), Krishnan, Joshin (author), Beferull-Lozano, Baltasar (author), Isufi, E. (author)An online algorithm for missing data imputation for networks with signals defined on the edges is presented. Leveraging the prior knowledge intrinsic to real-world networks, we propose a bi-level optimization scheme that exploits the causal dependencies and the flow conservation, respectively via <italic>(i)</italic> a sparse line...journal article 2022

Altaf, M.U. (author), Butler, T. (author), Luo, X. (author), Dawson, C. (author), Mayo, T. (author), Hoteit, I. (author)This paper presents a robust ensemble filtering methodology for storm surge forecasting based on the singular evolutive interpolated Kalman (SEIK) filter, which has been implemented in the framework of the H? filter. By design, an H? filter is more robust than the common Kalman filter in the sense that the estimation error in the H? filter has,...journal article 2013

Storm van Leeuwen, S. (author), van de Leijgraaf, R. (author)Nowadays, several flight test organizations recognize the potential of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) for flight test trajectorydetermination. In 1990 the National Aerospace Laboratory of the Netherlands (NLR) started the development of a Position Reference System (PRS) based on an Inertial Reference System (IRS), updated by GPS...report 1993

de Reus, N.M. (author), Moek, G. (author), Olsder, G.J. (author)A worldwide navigation system called NAVSAT is discussed. This positioning system is based on satellites which broadcast information which can be used by receivers of this Information to estimate their position. The motion of the users is modelled by splines. The estimation procedure is based on the extended Kalman filter approach.report 1987

Ten Brummelhuis, P.G.J. (author), De Jong, B. (author), Heemink, A.W. (author)This report gives an exposition of the applications Kalman filters and the related nonlinear filters offer when used in models describing tidal motion in seas and estuaries. In addition to methods that are generally used in this field, for example deterministic and black-box models, Kalman filters can provide significant contributions in...report 1985

Terpstra, A.P. (author), Zwartbol, T. (author), Slippens, C.P.R.C. (author)One of the research activities of the Space Division of the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR is the application of modern estimation and control theory to spacecraft attitude control problems. Algorithms for spacecraft state estimation and attitude control, as well as for inertial-optical attitude determination have been developed previously...report 1984

Best, M.R. (author)In NLR TR 82075 U, a method has been developed to reconstruct the flight-path of a symmetric flight, by representing this path by a set of splines. In the present report, the same method is being applied to a three-dimensional flight over a rotating earth. Preliminary results are comparable in accuracy and computing time to the Kalman (Square...report 1983

Blom, H.A.P. (author)The problem considered is filtering for Gaussian observations of linear differential systems that are driven by both Wiener processes and marked Poisson point processes. Well-known representations of the MMSE-filter for such a Markov jump-diffusion are a differential for the evolution of its conditional density or differentials for all its...report 1982

Prins, J.J.M. (author)The increasing power of on-board processors allows more freedom in the design and operation of reaction wheel control systems. This report discusses several performance and implementation aspects of the operation of wheel systems which have their own internal feedback control system. A model following control concept is found to be superior. The...report 1982
