  1. 1. Parallel Hardware for Sampling Based Nonlinear Filters in FPGAs

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Elektroniksystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Rakesh Kota Rajasekhar; [2014]
    Keywords : Particle filters; Sampling Importance Resampling Filter; Hardware architectures; Bearings-only tracking.;

    Abstract : Particle filters are a class of sequential Monte-Carlo methods which are used commonly when estimating various unknowns of the time-varying signals presented in real time, especially when dealing with nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity in BOT applications. This thesis work is designed to perform one such estimate involving tracking a person using the road information available from an IR surveillance video. READ MORE

  3. 2. Performance Enhancement of Bearing Navigation to Known Radio Beacons

    University essay from Reglerteknik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Erik Erkstam; Emil Tjernqvist; [2012]
    Keywords : navigation; bearings-only; outlier rejection; MUSIC; GPS; EKF; WGS84; RT90;

    Abstract : This master thesis investigates the performance of a car navigation system using lateral accelerometers, yaw rate and bearings relative three known radio beacons. Accelerometer, gyroscope and position data has been collected by an IMU combined with a GPS receiver, where the IMU was installed in the approximate motion center of a car. READ MORE
