Narrow Results

In nonimaging IR seekers, the received target radiation on the IR detector is modulated via a reticle and produces the information signal (IS). The IS contains the tracking error signal (TES), which is proportional with the target position. TES is used in the control and optic section in the missile. The main task is to extract the TES from IS. The accuracy of TES extraction may be affected by several items such as noise from engines. In this paper, we used for the first time this field Square Root Unscented Kalman Filter (SRUKF) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the TES from the IS for wagon wheel reticle.

Due to the high computational complexity of these algorithms, their execution in real time is not an easy task especially if there is space limitation for hardware. By using the minicomputer, such as Raspberry Pi 3 Model $\mathrm{\text{B}}+$ platform, the task can be done.

The results showed that the SRUKF presented the best phase estimation for TES. The implementation by using Raspberry Pi was in real time because all algorithm executions for one period was less than 5ms, this time in our problem is less than strict timing window.

Inertial navigation system (INS) is often integrated with satellite navigation systems to achieve the required precision at high-speed applications. In global navigation system (GPS)/INS integration systems, GPS outages are unavoidable and a severe challenge. Moreover, because of the usage of low-cost microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) with noisy outputs, the INS will get diverged during GPS outages, and that is why navigation precision severely decreases in commercial applications. In this paper, we improve GPS/INS integration system during GPS outages using extended Kalman filter (EKF) and artificial intelligence (AI) together. In this integration algorithm, the AI receives the angular rates and specific forces from the inertial measurement unit (IMU) and velocity from the INS at $t$ and $t-1$. Therefore, the AI has positioning and timing data of the INS. While the GPS signals are available, the output of the AI is compared with the GPS increment; so that the AI is trained. During GPS outages, the AI will practically play the GPS role. Thus, it can prevent the divergence of the GPS/INS integration system in GPS-denied environments. Furthermore, we utilize neural networks (NNs) as an AI module in five different types: multi-layer perceptron (MLP) NN, radial basis function (RBF) NN, wavelet NN, support vector regression (SVR) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). To evaluate the proposed approach, we utilize a real dataset that has been gathered by a mini-airplane. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the INS and GPS/INS integration systems with the EKF during GPS outages. Meanwhile, the ANFIS also reached more than 47.77% precision compared to the traditional method.

Battery Management System (BMS) functions to monitor individual cell in a battery pack and its crucial task is to maintain stability throughout the battery pack. The BMS is responsible for maintaining the safety of the battery as well as not to harm the user or environment. The parameters that are to be monitored in a battery are Voltage, Current and Temperature. With the collected data, BMS carefully monitors the charging–discharging behavior of the battery particularly in the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in which charging and discharging behavior are completely different. This paper proposes a real-time IOT connected deep learning algorithm for estimation of State-of-Charge (SoC) of Li-ion batteries. This paper provides unique objectives and congruence between model-based conventional methods and state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm, specifically Feed Forward Neural Network (FNN) which is nonRecurrent. This paper also highlights the advantages of Internet-of-Things (IoT) connected deep learning algorithm for estimation of State-of-Charge of Li-ion batteries in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs). The major advantage of the proposed method is that the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques aim to bring the estimation error less than 2% at a low cost and time without the model of the battery, at par with conventional method of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which is the best ever practical estimation theory. Another advantage of the proposed method is that in an abnormal condition (i.e., Unsafe Temperature) the IF This Then That (IFTTT) IoT mobile application interfaced with BMS through ThingSpeak cloud, sends a notification alert to the battery expert or to the user prior to an emergency. Finally, the real-time data of the battery parameters are collected through ThingSpeak cloud platform for future research and analysis.
