882 results about "Accurate estimation" patented technology

Accurate Estimation. Accuracy: The closeness of a given measurement to its true value, i.e. whether the measure is correct. If I have to choose between accuracy and precision then I’ll go with accuracy. If our example item really does take “roughly 2 weeks” then the estimate is accurate.

Adaptive two-threshold method for discriminating noise from speech in a communication signal

A method of discriminating noise and voice energy in a communication signal. A signal is measured in a plurality of block periods, which are sampled to obtain a measurement of the block energy value for the signal. The blocks are compared to a noise threshold and to a voice threshold to discriminate between noise and voice. The thresholds for noise and voice are periodically updated based on the minimum and maximum energy levels measured for block energies. In a preferred embodiment, the voice energy threshold and noise energy threshold values are updated according to a formula where the revised thresholds are based upon a factor of the minimum and maximum energy levels of the current block and the most recent past block and the average energy of the previous blocks. Updating of threshold levels allows for more accurate estimation of noise and voice during changes in either noise, voice or both to avoid missclassification of noise and / or voice.

Unscented Kalman filter-based method for tracking inertial pose according to acceleration compensation

The invention provides an unscented Kalman filter-based method for tracking an inertial pose according to acceleration compensation, which is used for an inertial measurement unit integrating a three-axis micro-gyroscope, a three-axis micro-accelerometer and a three-axis magnetoresistive sensor, and realizes pose tracking estimation on a device carrier by using rotary angular velocity vectors, acceleration vectors and magnetic field sensor vectors which are detected by the device by means of filter technology. The method comprises the following steps: 1) treating the acceleration vectors as combination of the acceleration vectors and gravity acceleration vectors of the device carrier self, and constructing observation equations respectively for amplitude and normalized direction vectors of the acceleration vectors and the gravity acceleration vectors; 2) describing quaternion, accumulated error vectors of the gyroscope and the acceleration vectors of the device carrier self by using the pose to construct a system state vector; and 3) realizing a filter estimating process of the system by using the unscented Kalman filter technology because of nonlinearity of the observation equations. Compared with the conventional method ignoring the acceleration of the carrier self, the method not only can provide a more accurate estimation result, but also widens the application range of the system.

Cell balancing apparatus and method

Disclosed is a cell balancing apparatus and method using a voltage variation pattern of a battery cell, which measures voltage of each cell, estimates OCV or SOC of each cell using a voltage variation pattern of each cell including a present voltage and a past voltage, and eliminates a deviation in OCV or SOC between the cells through comparison of the estimated OCV or SOC of each cell. In estimating the OCV of each cell, an output voltage error due to IR drop is corrected. Thus, SOC of each cell may be accurately estimated. And, an accurate estimation of SOC may render substantial elimination for a SOC deviation of each cell. Furthermore, SOC estimating using an output voltage leads to an active cell balancing even during charge and discharge of battery, thereby minimizing an SOC deviation of each cell.

System and method for generating a terrain model for autonomous navigation in vegetation

The disclosed terrain model is a generative, probabilistic approach to modeling terrain that exploits the 3D spatial structure inherent in outdoor domains and an array of noisy but abundant sensor data to simultaneously estimate ground height, vegetation height and classify obstacles and other areas of interest, even in dense non-penetrable vegetation. Joint inference of ground height, class height and class identity over the whole model results in more accurate estimation of each quantity. Vertical spatial constraints are imposed on voxels within a column via a hidden semi-Markov model. Horizontal spatial constraints are enforced on neighboring columns of voxels via two interacting Markov random fields and a latent variable. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims.

Method and device of peak detection in preamble synchronization for direct sequence spread spectrum communication

A spread-spectrum preamble synchronization peak detection system performs multiple statistical tests based on instant and time-averaged channel condition measurements to identify the synchronization peak. In a normalized peak-to-average test, a peak-to-average ratio measurement is normalized by a signal-to-noise ratio measurement to form a new statistical measure which effectively eliminates the impact of the wide dynamic range of the signal-to-noise ratio of the received samples. A transition SNR test is used to eliminate potential false alarms caused by spurious PARN peaks during the transition period at the onset of preamble arrival. Code-phase aligned time-averaging is used to estimate the signal and noise levels over a sliding window. The code-phase alignment of samples effectively separates signal and noise samples in the averaging process, and resulting in more accurate signal and noise measurements. In estimating noise levels, the system takes multi-path interference into account by excluding both the peak signal and the side-lobe signals caused by multi-path wireless channels, resulting in more accurate estimation of noise level.
