title: Distributed Estimation Based on Prior Information creator: Mahmoud, Professor Magdi S. creator: Khalid, Dr. Haris M. subject: Dynamical Systems description: In this paper, we propose an approach for distributed estimation algorithm using Bayesian-based forward backward (FB) Kalman filter (KF) used on a stochastic singular linear system. The approach incorporates generalized versions of KF presented for cases with complete or incomplete a-priori information with bounds, followed by estimation fusion for these cases. The proposed approach is then validated on a coupled tank system to ensure its effectiveness. date: 2012-07 type: Preprint type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8909/1/MsM-KFUPM-PrKnowEst-IET-SP%5BR-II%5D.pdf identifier: Mahmoud, Professor Magdi S. and Khalid, Dr. Haris M.
