Distributed state estimation using a network of asynchronous processing nodes
PublicationWe consider the problem of distributed state estimation of continuous-time stochastic processes using a~network of processing nodes. Each node performs measurement and estimation using the Kalman filtering technique, communicates its results to other nodes in the network, and utilizes similar results from the other nodes in its own computations. We assume that the connection graph of the network is not complete, i.e. not all nodes...

A self-optimization mechanism for generalized adaptive notch smoother
PublicationTracking of nonstationary narrowband signals is often accomplished using algorithms called adaptive notch filters (ANFs). Generalized adaptive notch smoothers (GANSs) extend the concepts of adaptive notch filtering in two directions.

Secondly, they employ noncausal processing, which greatly improves their accuracy and...
