ASEN 5070: Statistical Orbit Determination I Fall 2013 Professor Brandon A. Jones Professor George H. Born Lecture 41: Monte Carlo Sampling and Semester Review
Announcements • No lecture quiz this week • Final Exam Due December 16 • By noon for in-class students • By 11:59pm for CAETE students • Final Project Due December 16 • By noon for in-class students • By 11:59pm for CAETE Students
How do I characterize the possible performance of my filter? • There are many unknowns in orbit determination. What are some?
How do I characterize the possible performance of my filter? • There are many unknowns in orbit determination • Dynamics Model • Dynamics Errors (systematic and stochastic) • Measurement Model • Measurement Noise • Many of these may be characterized using covariance analysis (CH. 6, StatOD 2) • Given the large number of random inputs, how would we characterize the possible OD performance when covariance analysis is limited?
Monte Carlo Analysis • Consider many different types of models and model errors • What about the accuracy of input models? • Example: Gravity Field • Estimation of the gravity field still has a variance. • How do we consider the filter performance with such errors?
Review Exercise • Individual Exercise: • List five things that you learned in this course • Group Exercise: • In pairs, reduce the list down to the two most important things you learned in this course • Class Exercise: • Now, let’s make a top ten list of things learned during this semester
Top 10+ List • Kalman filter (and all it encompasses) • Assess the performance of filters • State, covariance, residuals, other design elements, what filter to use, etc. • The general estimation problem (difficulties) • Numeric considerations • Least squares estimation (batch processing) • Probability and Stats (probability ellipsoids) • Linearization and STM • Observability • Accurate uncertainty quantification • Process noise • LaTeX • What do we do without a truth to compare to? • Linear algebra (new elements covered in this class) • Square root filters • Sequential versus batch processing
Top 10+ • Gauss Markov processes and use in process noise • Smoothing • StatOD is fun! (George’s answer) • Applicable to many different fields
Wished learned more about? • Different Measurement types • Angles-only estimation • Doppler • Difficulties of such measurements • GNSS/GPS • Increased variety of problems/applications • Real data (but tough)
