Abstract
The optimal solution of estimating a set of dynamic state in the presence of a random bias employing a two-stage Kalman estimator is addressed. It is well known that, under an algebraic constraint, the optimal estimate of the system state can be obtained from a two-stage Kalman estimator. Unfortunately, this algebraic constraint is seldom satisfied for practical systems. This paper proposes a general form of the optimal solution of the two-stage estimator, in which the algebraic constraint is removed. Furthermore, it is shown that, by applying the adaptive process noise covariance concept, the optimal solution of the two-stage Kalman estimator is composed of a modified bias-free filter and an bias-compensating filter, which can be viewed as a generalized form of the conventional two-stage Kalman estimator.

Industrial Applications of the Kalman Filter: A Review

TL;DR: The Kalman filter has received a huge interest from the industrial electronics community and has played a key role in many engineering fields since the 1970s, ranging from trajectory estimation, state and parameter estimation for control or diagnosis, data merging, signal processing, and so on.

Design of a Fault-Tolerant Controller Based on Observers for a PMSM Drive

TL;DR: Two virtual sensors (a two-stage extended Kalman filter and a back-electromotive-force adaptive observer) and a maximum-likelihood voting algorithm are combined with the actual sensor to build a fault-tolerant controller (FTC).

A Two-Stage Augmented Extended Kalman Filter as an Observer for Sensorless Valve Control in Camless Internal Combustion Engines

TL;DR: A proposed observer comprising an augmented extended Kalman filter and another EKF results in a sensorless control, which estimates the inductance of the actuator, which may vary, and achieves a numerically efficient estimation.

Treatment of bias in recursive filtering

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of estimating the state x of a linear process in the presence of a constant but unknown bias vector b is considered, and it is shown that the optimum estimate \hat{x} of the state can be expressed as x + V_{x}\hat{b} (1) where x is the bias-free estimate, computed as if no bias were present, and V x is a matrix which can be interpreted as the ratio of the covariance of \tilde{x] and b to the variance of b.

An alternate derivation and extension of Friendland's two-stage Kalman estimator

TL;DR: An alternate simplified derivation of Friedland's two-stage Kalman estimator for a somewhat more general class of problems than considered by Friedland is given in this article, which is also extended to encompass two variations on the basic idea which are of practical interest.
