Properties and Future of the Skew Kalman Filters
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 9 June 2023)The Kalman filter (KF) and its variants are powerful numerical tools for estimating the unmeasured states of dynamical systems. However, traditional KFs assume Gaussian noise in measurements and processes, which may not ... -
Extended Skew Kalman Filters for COVID-19 Pandemic State Estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 9 June 2023)This research studies the long-term behavior monitoring of the COVID-19 pandemic through estimation with nonzero skewness. The COVID-19 data may contain outliers that could result in inaccurate estimation using traditional ... -
Swarms of mobile robots for area exploration
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 9 June 2023)This study investigates the use of a random-walk search algorithm for a swarm of mobile robots for area exploration. A stochastic process was employed to define the robots’ route, and a cluster-based distribution factor ... -
An operational land cover and land cover change toolbox: processing open‐source data with open‐source software (article)
(Wiley / British Ecological Society, 22 July 2022)Accurate and up-to-date land cover maps are vital for underpinning evidence-based landscape management decision-making. However, the technical skills required to extract tailored information about land cover dynamics from ... -
Fluvial morphology as a driver of lead and zinc geochemical dispersion at a catchment scale
(MDPI, 9 June 2023)Metal-mining exploitation has caused ecosystem degradation worldwide. Legacy wastes are often concentrated around former mines where monitoring and research works are mostly focused. Geochemical and physical weathering can ...
