Opis

The topics of control engineering and signal processing continue to flourish and develop. In common with general scientific investigation, new ideas, concepts and interpretations emerge quite spontaneously and these are then discussed, used, discarded or subsumed into the prevailing subject paradigm. Sometimes these innovative concepts coalesce into a new sub-discipline within the broad subject tapestry ofcontrol and signal processing. This preliminary batde between old and new usually takes place at conferences, through the Internet and in the journals of the discipline. After a litde more maturity has been acquiredhas been acquired by the new concepts then archival publication as ascientificorengineering monograph mayoccur. Anewconceptin control and signal processing is known to have arrived when sufficient material has developed for the topic to be taught as a specialised tutorial workshop or as a course to undergraduates, graduates or industrial engineers. The Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing Series is designed as a vehicle for the systematic presentation ofcourse material for both popular and innovative topics in the discipline. It is hoped that prospective authors will welcome the opportunity to publish a structured presentation of either existing subject areas or some of the newer emerging control and signal processing technologies.

This book, developed from a set of lecture notes by Professor Kamen, and since expanded and refined by both authors, is an introductory yet comprehensive study of its field. It contains examples that use MATLAB^® and many of the problems discussed require the use of MATLAB^®. The primary objective is to provide students with an extensive coverage of Wiener and Kalman filtering along with the development of least squares estimation, maximum likelihood estimation and a posteriori estimation, based on discrete-time measurements. In the study of these estimation techniques there is strong emphasis on how they interrelate and fit together to form a systematic development of optimal estimation. Also included in the text is a chapter on nonlinear filtering, focusing on the extended Kalman filter and a recently-developed nonlinear estimator based on a block-form version of the Levenberg-Marquadt Algorithm.
