Nonlinear and Kalman filtering techniques. Part 1

Volume 19: Nonlinear and Kalman Filtering Techniques, Part 1 of 3 covers the advances in the techniques and technology of nonlinear filters and Kalman filters. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of the theory and applications of nonlinear filters and Kalman filters. Chapters are devoted to the discussion of the exact and approximate state estimation techniques for nonlinear dynamic systems; computational efficiencies in the various approaches to filtering techniques; the implementation of filters by the use of microprocessors and distributed processor systems; and practical means for dealing with nonlinearities. Engineers, economists, seismologists, meteorologists, and communications experts will find this book a good reference material.
