The sensor has an internal dynamics which is here modelled with a Linear Time Invariant (LTI) system transfer function \(G_i(s)\). The noise of sensor can be described by the Power Spectral Density (PSD) \(\Phi_{n_i}(\omega)\). This is approximated by shaping a white noise with unitary PSD \(\tilde{n}_i\) \eqref{eq:unitary_sensor_noise_psd} with a LTI transfer function \(N_i(s)\): \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \Phi_{n_i}(\omega) &= \left| N_i(j\omega) \right|^2 \Phi_{\tilde{n}_i}(\omega) \\ &= \left| N_i(j\omega) \right|^2 \end{aligned} \end{equation} \begin{equation} \label{eq:unitary_sensor_noise_psd} \Phi_{\tilde{n}_i}(\omega) = 1 \end{equation} The output of the sensor \(v_i\): \begin{equation} v_i = \left( G_i \right) x + \left( G_i N_i \right) \tilde{n}_i \end{equation} In order to obtain an estimate \(\hat{x}_i\) of \(x\), a model \(\hat{G}_i\) of the (true) sensor dynamics \(G_i\) is inverted and applied at the output (Figure \ref{fig:sensor_model}): \begin{equation} \hat{x}_i = \left( \hat{G}_i^{-1} G_i \right) x + \left( \hat{G}_i^{-1} G_i N_i \right) \tilde{n}_i \end{equation} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/sensor_model.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:sensor_model}Sensor Model} \end{figure} \subsection{Sensor Fusion Architecture} \label{sec:org17e7387} Let's now consider two sensors measuring the same physical quantity \(x\) but with different dynamics \((G_1, G_2)\) and noise characteristics \((N_1, N_2)\) (Figure \ref{fig:sensor_fusion_noise_arch}). The noise sources \(\tilde{n}_1\) and \(\tilde{n}_2\) are considered to be uncorrelated. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/sensor_fusion_noise_arch.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:sensor_fusion_noise_arch}Sensor Fusion Architecture with sensor noise} \end{figure} The output of both sensors \((v1,v2)\) are then passed through the inverse of the sensor model to obtained two estimates \((\hat{x}_1, \hat{x}_2)\) of \(x\). These two estimates are then filtered out by two filters \(H_1\) and \(H_2\) and summed to gives the super sensor estimate \(\hat{x}\). \begin{equation} \begin{split} \hat{x} = {}&\left( H_1 \hat{G}_1^{-1} G_1 + H_2 \hat{G}_2^{-1} G_2 \right) x \\ &+ \left( H_1 \hat{G}_1^{-1} G_1 N_1 \right) \tilde{n}_1 + \left( H_2 \hat{G}_2^{-1} G_2 N_2 \right) \tilde{n}_2 \end{split} \end{equation} Suppose the sensor dynamical model \(\hat{G}_i\) is perfect: \begin{equation} \hat{G}_i = G_i \end{equation} We considered here complementary filters: \begin{equation} H_1(s) + H_2(s) = 1 \end{equation} In such case, the super sensor estimate \(\hat{x}\) is equal to \(x\) plus the noise of the individual sensors filtered out by the complementary filters: \begin{equation} \hat{x} = x + \left( H_1 N_1 \right) \tilde{n}_1 + \left( H_2 N_2 \right) \tilde{n}_2 \end{equation} \subsection{Super Sensor Noise} \label{sec:orgb010f68} Let's note \(n\) the super sensor noise. \begin{equation} n = \left( H_1 N_1 \right) \tilde{n}_1 + \left( H_2 N_2 \right) \tilde{n}_2 \end{equation} As the noise of both sensors are considered to be uncorrelated, the PSD of the super sensor noise is computed as follow: \begin{equation} \Phi_n(\omega) = \left| H_1 N_1 \right|^2 + \left| H_2 N_2 \right|^2 \end{equation} It is clear that the PSD of the super sensor depends on the norm of the complementary filters. \subsection{\(\mathcal{H}_2\) Synthesis of Complementary Filters} \label{sec:orgf1d735c} The goal is to design \(H_1(s)\) and \(H_2(s)\) such that the effect of the noise sources \(\tilde{n}_1\) and \(\tilde{n}_2\) has the smallest possible effect on the noise \(n\) of the estimation \(\hat{x}\). And the goal is the minimize the Root Mean Square (RMS) value of \(n\): \begin{equation} \label{eq:rms_value_estimation} \sigma_{n} = \sqrt{\int_0^\infty \Phi_{\hat{n}}(\omega) d\omega} = \left\| \begin{matrix} H_1 N_1 \\ H_2 N_2 \end{matrix} \right\|_2 \end{equation} Thus, the goal is to design \(H_1(s)\) and \(H_2(s)\) such that \(H_1(s) + H_2(s) = 1\) and such that \(\left\| \begin{matrix} H_1 N_1 \\ H_2 N_2 \end{matrix} \right\|_2\) is minimized. \begin{equation} \begin{pmatrix} z_1 \\ z_2 \\ v \end{pmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} N_1 & N_1 \\ 0 & N_2 \\ 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} w \\ u \end{pmatrix} \end{equation} The \(\mathcal{H}_2\) synthesis of the complementary filters thus minimized the RMS value of the super sensor noise. \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/h_two_optimal_fusion.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:h_two_optimal_fusion}Generalized plant \(P_{\mathcal{H}_2}\) used for the \(\mathcal{H}_2\) synthesis of complementary filters} \end{figure} \subsection{Example} \label{sec:org074433c} \subsection{Robustness Problem} \label{sec:org21dc09f} \section{Robust Sensor Fusion: \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) Synthesis} \label{sec:org2041184} \label{sec:robust_fusion} \subsection{Representation of Sensor Dynamical Uncertainty} \label{sec:orgfd12a50} Suppose that the sensor dynamics \(G_i(s)\) can be modelled by a nominal d \begin{equation} G_i(s) = \hat{G}_i(s) \left( 1 + w_i(s) \Delta_i(s) \right); \quad |\Delta_i(j\omega)| < 1 \forall \omega \end{equation} \subsection{Sensor Fusion Architecture} \label{sec:org11c9d00} \begin{equation} \begin{split} \hat{x} = \Big( {} & H_1 \hat{G}_1^{-1} \hat{G}_1 (1 + w_1 \Delta_1) \\ + & H_2 \hat{G}_2^{-1} \hat{G}_2 (1 + w_2 \Delta_2) \Big) x \end{split} \end{equation} with \(\Delta_i\) is any transfer function satisfying \(\| \Delta_i \|_\infty < 1\). Suppose the model inversion is equal to the nominal model: \begin{equation} \hat{G}_i = G_i \end{equation} \begin{equation} \hat{x} = \left( 1 + H_1 w_1 \Delta_1 + H_2 w_2 \Delta_2 \right) x \end{equation} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/sensor_fusion_arch_uncertainty.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:sensor_fusion_arch_uncertainty}Sensor Fusion Architecture with sensor model uncertainty} \end{figure} \subsection{Super Sensor Dynamical Uncertainty} \label{sec:org6673a25} The uncertainty set of the transfer function from \(\hat{x}\) to \(x\) at frequency \(\omega\) is bounded in the complex plane by a circle centered on 1 and with a radius equal to \(|w_1(j\omega) H_1(j\omega)| + |w_2(j\omega) H_2(j\omega)|\). \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/uncertainty_set_super_sensor.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:uncertainty_set_super_sensor}Super Sensor model uncertainty displayed in the complex plane} \end{figure} \subsection{\(\mathcal{H_\infty}\) Synthesis of Complementary Filters} \label{sec:org41ccb1e} In order to minimize the super sensor dynamical uncertainty \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/h_infinity_robust_fusion.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:h_infinity_robust_fusion}Generalized plant \(P_{\mathcal{H}_\infty}\) used for the \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) synthesis of complementary filters} \end{figure} \subsection{Example} \label{sec:orgba594da} \section{Optimal and Robust Sensor Fusion: Mixed \(\mathcal{H}_2/\mathcal{H}_\infty\) Synthesis} \label{sec:orgc07eeab} \label{sec:optimal_robust_fusion} \subsection{Sensor Fusion Architecture} \label{sec:orgddd6d33} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/sensor_fusion_arch_full.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:sensor_fusion_arch_full}Super Sensor Fusion with both sensor noise and sensor model uncertainty} \end{figure} \subsection{Synthesis Objective} \label{sec:org79824da} \subsection{Mixed \(\mathcal{H}_2/\mathcal{H}_\infty\) Synthesis} \label{sec:org247ac1c} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/mixed_h2_hinf_synthesis.pdf} \caption{\label{fig:mixed_h2_hinf_synthesis}Generalized plant \(P_{\mathcal{H}_2/\matlcal{H}_\infty}\) used for the mixed \(\mathcal{H}_2/\mathcal{H}_\infty\) synthesis of complementary filters} \end{figure} \subsection{Example} \label{sec:org7af2158} \section{Experimental Validation} \label{sec:orgb54c59b} \label{sec:experimental_validation} \subsection{Experimental Setup} \label{sec:org40eadad} \subsection{Sensor Noise and Dynamical Uncertainty} \label{sec:orgb81743f} \subsection{Mixed \(\mathcal{H}_2/\mathcal{H}_\infty\) Synthesis} \label{sec:orgb2232ac} \subsection{Super Sensor Noise and Dynamical Uncertainty} \label{sec:orgd80a558} \section{Conclusion} \label{sec:org0da5eb6} \label{sec:conclusion} \section{Acknowledgment} \label{sec:orge5b9b80} \bibliography{ref} \end{document}
