A Quantum Algorithm for the Diffusion Step of Grid-based Filter

We propose a simple quantum algorithm for implementing the diffusion step of grid-based Bayesian filters. The method encodes the advected state density and the process noise density into quantum registers and realizes diffusion using a quantum Fourier transform--based adder. This avoids the explicit convolution required in classical implementations and the repeated coin-flip operations used in quantum random walk approaches. Numerical simulations using a gate-based quantum computing simulator confirm that the proposed approach reproduces the desired probability densities while requiring significantly fewer quantum gates and much shallower circuit depth.

Lagrangian Grid-based Estimation of Nonlinear Systems with Invertible Dynamics

This paper deals with the state estimation of non-linear and non-Gaussian systems with an emphasis on the numerical solution to the Bayesian recursive relations. In particular, this paper builds upon the Lagrangian grid-based filter (GbF) recently-developed for linear systems and extends it for systems with nonlinear dynamics that are invertible. The proposed nonlinear Lagrangian GbF reduces the computational complexity of the standard GbFs from quadratic to log-linear, while preserving all the strengths of the original GbF such as robustness, accuracy, and deterministic behaviour. The proposed filter is compared with the particle filter in several numerical studies using the publicly available MATLAB\textregistered\ implementation\footnote{https://github.com/pesslovany/Matlab-LagrangianPMF}.

Interpretable Augmented Physics-Based Model for Estimation and Tracking

State-space estimation and tracking rely on accurate dynamical models to perform well. However, obtaining an vaccurate dynamical model for complex scenarios or adapting to changes in the system poses challenges to the estimation process. Recently, augmented physics-based models (APBMs) appear as an appealing strategy to cope with these challenges where the composition of a small and adaptive neural network with known physics-based models (PBM) is learned on the fly following an augmented state-space estimation approach. A major issue when introducing data-driven components in such a scenario is the danger of compromising the meaning (or interpretability) of estimated states. In this work, we propose a novel constrained estimation strategy that constrains the APBM dynamics close to the PBM. The novel state-space constrained approach leads to more flexible ways to impose constraints than the traditional APBM approach. Our experiments with a radar-tracking scenario demonstrate different aspects of the proposed approach and the trade-offs inherent in the imposed constraints.

Pedestrian Tracking with Monocular Camera using Unconstrained 3D Motion Model

A first-principle single-object model is proposed for pedestrian tracking. It is assumed that the extent of the moving object can be described via known statistics in 3D, such as pedestrian height. The proposed model thus need not constrain the object motion in 3D to a common ground plane, which is usual in 3D visual tracking applications. A nonlinear filter for this model is implemented using the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and tested using the publicly available MOT-17 dataset. The proposed solution yields promising results in 3D while maintaining perfect results when projected into the 2D image. Moreover, the estimation error covariance matches the true one. Unlike conventional methods, the introduced model parameters have convenient meaning and can readily be adjusted for a problem.

Hybrid Neural Network Augmented Physics-based Models for Nonlinear Filtering

In this paper we present a hybrid neural network augmented physics-based modeling (APBM) framework for Bayesian nonlinear latent space estimation. The proposed APBM strategy allows for model adaptation when new operation conditions come into play or the physics-based model is insufficient (or incomplete) to properly describe the latent phenomenon. One advantage of the APBMs and our estimation procedure is the capability of maintaining the physical interpretability of estimated states. Furthermore, we propose a constraint filtering approach to control the neural network contributions to the overall model. We also exploit assumed density filtering techniques and cubature integration rules to present a flexible estimation strategy that can easily deal with nonlinear models and high-dimensional latent spaces. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our methodology by leveraging a target tracking scenario with nonlinear and incomplete measurement and acceleration models, respectively.
