ASEN 5070: Statistical Orbit Determination I Fall 2013 Professor Brandon A. Jones Professor George H. Born Lecture 16: Iteration of Least Squares and Propagation of Filter Output
Announcements • No homework or lecture quiz for the next week • Exam 1 – Friday, October 11 • Exam Review on Monday • E-mail Marco if there is anything you would like him to discuss on Monday • Change in Marco’s office hours • Friday 3-4pm move to: • Thursday, 4-5pm
State Update • Since we linearized the formulation, we can still improve accuracy through iteration • How do we perform this iteration?
Assumptions with the Iterated Batch • The batch filter depends on the assumptions of linearity • Violations of this assumption may lead to filter divergence • If the reference trajectory is near the truth, this holds just fine • The batch processor must be iterated 2-3 times to get the best estimate • Continue the process until we “converge” • Definition of convergence is an element of filter design
Convergence via Post-fit Residuals • If we know the observation error, why “fit to the noise?
Other Convergence Tests • No improvement in observation RMS • No reduction in state deviation vector • Maximum number of iterations
LEO Orbit Determination Example • Instantaneous observation data is taken from three Earth-fixed tracking stations • Why is instantaneous important in this context? • x, y, z – Satellite positionin ECI • xs, ys, zs are tracking station locations in ECEF
Advantage of Different Data Types • FLIR – Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) imaging sensor Image: Hall and Llinas, “Multisensor Data Fusion”, Handbook of Multisensor Data Fusion: Theory and Practice, 2009.
Batch Processor Issues • Inverting a potentially poorly scaled matrix • Solutions: • Matrix Decomposition (e.g., Singular Value Decomposition) • Orthogonal Transformations • Square-root free Algorithms • Numeric Issues • Resulting covariance matrix not symmetric • Becomes non-positive definite (bad!)
Simple Symmetry Fix • Only to be used when non-symmetric due to floating point issues!
