Filtering and Smoothing for Linear Discrete-Time Distributed Parameter Systems Based on Wiener-Hopf Theory with Application to Estimation of Air Pollution

摘要

Optimal filtering and smoothing algorithms for linear discrete-time distributed parameter systems are derived by a unified approach based on the Wiener-Hopf theory. The Wiener-Hopf equation for the estimation problems is derived using the least-squares estimation error criterion. Using the basic equation, three types of the optimal smoothing estimators are derived, namely, fixed-point, fixed-interval, and fixed-lag smoothers. Finally, the results obtained are applied to estimation of atmospheric sulfur dioxide concentrations in the Tokushima prefecture of Japan.
