This paper describes an algorithm that identifies a state-space model and an associated steady-state Kalman filter gain from noise-corrupted input–output data. The model structure involves two Kalman filters where a second Kalman filter accounts for the error in the estimated residual of the first Kalman filter. Both Kalman filter gains and the system state-space model are identified simultaneously. Knowledge of the noise covariances is not required.

This paper presents a time-domain method to identify a state space model of a linear system and its corresponding observer/Kalman filter from a given set of general input-output data. The identified filter has the properties that its residual is minimized in the least squares sense, orthogonal to the time-shifted versions of itself, and to the given input-output data sequences. The connection between the state space model and a particular auto-regressive moving average description of a linear system is made in terms of the Kalman filter and a deadbeat gain matrix. The procedure first identifies the Markov parameters of an observer system, from which a state space model of the system and the filter gain are computed. The developed procedure is shown to improve results obtained by an existing observer/Kalman filter identification method, which is based on an auto-regressive model without the moving average terms. Numerical and experimental results are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

This study proposes a new deterministic off-line identification method that obtains a state-space model using input and output data with steady state values. This method comprises of two methods: Zeroing the 0∼N-tuple integral values of the output error of single-input single-output transfer function model (Kosaka et al., 2004) and Ho-Kalman’s method (Zeiger and McEwen, 1974). Herein, we present a new method to derive a matrix similar to the Hankel matrix using multi-input and multi-output data with steady state values. State space matrices A, B, C, and D are derived from the matrix by the method shown in Zeiger and McEwen, 1974 and Longman and Juang, 1989. This method’s utility is that the derived state-space model is emphasized in the low frequency range under certain conditions. Its salient feature is that this method can identify use of step responses; consequently, it is suitable for linear mechanical system identification in which noise and vibration are unacceptable. Numerical simulations of multi-input multi-output system identification are illustrated.
