Conventionally, the transition probabilities in the interacting multiple model (IMM) are often
fixed based on the prior information. However, this conservative setting may result in …

Micro-electro-mechanical system inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU), a core component
in many navigation systems, directly determines the accuracy of inertial navigation system; …

In this article, a novel normal-skew mixture (NSM) distribution is presented to model the
normal and/or heavy-tailed and/or skew nonstationary distributed noises. The NSM …

A distributed fusion estimation algorithm is studied for multisensor multirate systems with
correlated noises, where the state update rate is positive integer multiples of the …

This paper presents a fault tolerance architecture for data fusion mechanisms that tolerates
sensor faults in a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The developed approach is …
