In this study, an application of deep learning-based neural computing is proposed for efficient real-time state estimation of the Markov chain underwater maneuvering object. The designed intelligent strategy is exploiting the strength of nonlinear autoregressive with an exogenous input (NARX) network model, which has the capability for estimating the dynamics of the systems that follow the discrete-time Markov chain. Nonlinear Bayesian filtering techniques are often applied for underwater maneuvering state estimation applications by following state-space methodology. The robustness and precision of NARX neural network are efficiently investigated for accurate state prediction of the passive Markov chain highly maneuvering underwater target. A continuous coordinated turning trajectory of an underwater maneuvering object is modeled for analyzing the performance of the neural computing paradigm. State estimation modeling is developed in the context of bearings only tracking technology in which the efficiency of the NARX neural network is investigated for ideal and complex ocean environments. Real-time position and velocity of maneuvering object are computed for five different cases by varying standard deviations of white Gaussian measured noise. Sufficient Monte Carlo simulation results validate the competence of NARX neural computing over conventional generalized pseudo-Bayesian filtering algorithms like an interacting multiple model extended Kalman filter and an interacting multiple model unscented Kalman filter.

State estimation is widely used in various automated systems, including IoT systems, unmanned systems, robots, etc. In traditional state estimation, measurement data are instantaneous and processed in real time. With modern systems’ development, sensors can obtain more and more signals and store them. Therefore, how to use these measurement big data to improve the performance of state estimation has become a hot research issue in this field. This paper reviews the development of state estimation and future development trends. First, we review the model-based state estimation methods, including the Kalman filter, such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF), unscented Kalman filter (UKF), cubature Kalman filter (CKF), etc. Particle filters and Gaussian mixture filters that can handle mixed Gaussian noise are discussed, too. These methods have high requirements for models, while it is not easy to obtain accurate system models in practice. The emergence of robust filters, the interacting multiple model (IMM), and adaptive filters are also mentioned here. Secondly, the current research status of data-driven state estimation methods is introduced based on network learning. Finally, the main research results for hybrid filters obtained in recent years are summarized and discussed, which combine model-based methods and data-driven methods. This paper is based on state estimation research results and provides a more detailed overview of model-driven, data-driven, and hybrid-driven approaches. The main algorithm of each method is provided so that beginners can have a clearer understanding. Additionally, it discusses the future development trends for researchers in state estimation.

A modified interacting multiple model (IMM) method called spherical simplex unscented Kalman filter-based jumping and static IMM (SSUKF-JSIMM) is proposed to solve the problem of nonlinear filtering with unknown continuous system parameter. SSUKF-JSIMM regards the continuous system parameter space as a union of disjoint regions, and each region is assigned to a model. For each model, under the assumption that the parameter belongs to the corresponding region, one sub-filter is used to estimate the parameter and the state when the parameter is presumed to be jumping, and another sub-filter is used to estimate the parameter and the state when the parameter is presumed to be static. Considering that spherical simplex unscented Kalman filter (SSUKF) is more suitable for a real-time system than the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), SSUKFs are adopted as the sub-filters of SSUKF-JSIMM. Results of the two SSUKFs are fused as the estimation output of the model. Experimental results show that SSUKF-JSIMM achieves higher performance than IMM, SIR, and UKF in bearings-only tracking problem.

The main factor affecting the localization accuracy is nonline of sight (NLOS) error which is caused by the complicated indoor environment such as obstacles and walls. To obviously alleviate NLOS effects, a polynomial fitting-based adjusted Kalman filter (PF-AKF) method in a wireless sensor network (WSN) framework is proposed in this paper. The method employs polynomial fitting to accomplish both NLOS identification and distance prediction. Rather than employing standard deviation of all historical data as NLOS detection threshold, the proposed method identifies NLOS via deviation between fitted curve and measurements. Then, it processes the measurements with adjusted Kalman filter (AKF), conducting weighting filter in the case of NLOS condition. Simulations compare the proposed method with Kalman filter (KF), adjusted Kalman filter (AKF), and Kalman-based interacting multiple model (K-IMM) algorithms, and the results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method. Moreover, experimental results obtained from a real indoor environment validate the simulation results.

As the progress of electronics and information processing technology continues, indoor localization has become a research hotspot in wireless sensor networks (WSN). The adverse non-line of sight (NLOS) propagation usually causes large measurement errors in complex indoor environments. It could decrease the localization accuracy seriously. A traditional grey model considers the motion characteristics but does not take the NLOS propagation into account. A robust interacting multiple model (R-IMM) could effectively mitigate NLOS errors but the clipping point is hard to choose. In order to easily cope with NLOS errors, we present a novel filter framework: mixture Gaussian fitting-based grey Kalman filter structure (MGF-GKFS). Firstly, grey Kalman filter (GKF) is proposed to pre-process the measured distance, which can mitigate the process noise and alleviate NLOS errors. Secondly, we calculate the residual which is the difference between the filtered distance of GKF and the measured distance. Thirdly, a soft decision method based on mixture Gaussian fitting (MGF) is proposed to identify the propagation condition through residual value and give the degree of membership. Fourthly, weak NLOS noise is further processed by unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The filtered results of GKF and UKF are weighted using the degree of membership. Finally, a maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm is applied to get the coordinate of the target. MGF-GKFS is not supported by any of the priori knowledge. Full-scale simulations and an experiment are conducted to compare the localization accuracy and robustness with the state-of-the-art algorithms, including robust interacting multiple model (R-IMM), unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and interacting multiple model (IMM). The results show that MGF-GKFS could achieve significant improvement compared to R-IMM, UKF and IMM algorithms.

This paper aims to introduce a novel approach named IMM-UKF-TFS (Interacting Multiple Model-Unscented Kalman Filter-Two Filter Smoother) to attain positional accuracy in the intelligent navigation of a manoeuvring vehicle. Here, the navigation filter is designed with an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), together with an Interacting Multiple Model algorithm (IMM), which estimates the state variables and handles the noise uncertainty of the manoeuvring vehicle. A model-based estimator named Two Filter Smoothing (TFS) is implemented along with the UKF-based IMM to improve positional accuracy. The performance of the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS method is verified by modelling the vehicle motion into Constant Velocity-Coordinated Turn (CV-CT), Constant Velocity – Constant Acceleration (CV-CA) and Constant Acceleration-Coordinated Turn (CA-CT) models. The simulation results proved that the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS gives better positional accuracy than the existing conventional estimators such as UKF and IMM-UKF.
