In this work we propose a Bayesian version of the Nagaoka-Hayashi bound when estimating a parametric family of quantum states. This lower bound is a generalization of a recently proposed bound for point estimation to Bayesian estimation. We then show that the proposed lower bound can be efficiently computed as a semidefinite programming problem. As a lower bound, we also derive a Bayesian version of the Holevo-type bound from the Bayesian Nagaoka-Hayashi bound. Lastly, we prove that the new lower bound is tighter than the Bayesian quantum logarithmic derivative bounds.

In a power network, it is important to detect a cyber attack. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting false data injection (FDI) attacks in distributed state estimation. An FDI attack is well known as one of the typical cyber attacks in a power network. As a method of FDI attack detection, we consider calculating the residual (i.e., the difference between the observed and estimated values). In the proposed detection method, the tentative residual (estimated error) in ADMM (Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers), which is one of the powerful methods in distributed optimization, is applied. First, the effect of an FDI attack is analyzed. Next, based on the analysis result, a detection parameter is introduced based on the residual. A detection method using this parameter is then proposed. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated through a numerical example on the IEEE 14-bus system.
Recently, the performances of discriminative correlation filter (CF) trackers are getting better and better in visual tracking. In this paper, we propose spatial-temporal regularization with precise state estimation based on discriminative correlation filter (STPSE) in order to achieve more significant tracking performance. First, we consider the continuous change of the object state, using the information from the previous two filters for training the correlation filter model. Here, we train the correlation filter model with the hand-crafted features. Second, we introduce update control in which average peak-to-correlation energy (APCE) and the distance between the object locations obtained by HOG features and hand-crafted features are utilized to detect abnormality of the state around the object. APCE and the distance indicate the reliability of the filter response, thus if abnormality is detected, the proposed method does not update the scale and the object location estimated by the filter response. In the experiment, our tracker (STPSE) achieves significant and real-time performance with only CPU for the challenging benchmark sequence (OTB2013, OTB2015, and TC128).

In the state estimation of steady-state power networks, a cyber attack that cannot be detected from the residual (i.e., the estimation error) is called a false data injection (FDI) attack. In this letter, to enforce the security of power networks, we propose a method of detecting an FDI attack. In the proposed method, an FDI attack is detected by randomly choosing sensors used in the state estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed method is presented by two examples including the IEEE 14-bus system.

Particle filters have been widely used for state estimation problems in nonlinear and non-Gaussian systems. Their performance depends on the given system and measurement models, which need to be designed by the user for each target system. This paper proposes a novel method to design these models for a particle filter. This is a numerical optimization method, where the particle filter design process is interpreted into the framework of reinforcement learning by assigning the randomnesses included in both models of the particle filter to the policy of reinforcement learning. In this method, estimation by the particle filter is repeatedly performed and the parameters that determine both models are gradually updated according to the estimation results. The advantage is that it can optimize various objective functions, such as the estimation accuracy of the particle filter, the variance of the particles, the likelihood of the parameters, and the regularization term of the parameters. We derive the conditions to guarantee that the optimization calculation converges with probability 1. Furthermore, in order to show that the proposed method can be applied to practical-scale problems, we design the particle filter for mobile robot localization, which is an essential technology for autonomous navigation. By numerical simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed method further improves the localization accuracy compared to the conventional method.

The environment surrounding automotive technology is undergoing a major transformation. In particular, as technological innovation advances in new areas called “CASE” such as Connected, Autonomous/Automated, Shared, and Electric, various research activities are underway. However, this is an approach from the standpoint of the automobile centered, and when considering the development of a new automobile society, it is necessary to consider from the standpoint of “human centered,” who are users, too. Therefore, this paper proposes the possibility of technological innovation in the area of “Another CASE” such as Comfortable, Accessible, Safety, and Enjoy/Exciting, and introduces the contents of some interesting researches.

In this paper, we clarify the relationship between an initial (final) state in a tail-biting error-trellis and the obtained syndromes. We show that a final state is dependent on the first M syndromes as well, where M is the memory length of the parity-check matrix. Next, we calculate the probability of an initial (final) state conditioned by the syndromes. We also apply this method to concrete examples. It is shown that the initial (final) state in a tail-biting error-trellis is well estimated using these conditional probabilities.
In this paper, we propose a robust state estimation method using a particle filter (PF) for a class of nonlinear systems which have stochastic parameter uncertainties. A robust PF was designed using prediction and correction structure. The proposed PF draws particles from a simple proposal density function and corrects the particles with particle-wise correction gains. We present a method to obtain an error variance of each particle and its upper bound, which is minimized to determine the correction gain. The proposed method is less restrictive on system nonlinearities and noise statistics; moreover, it can be applied regardless of system stability. The effectiveness of the proposed robust PF is illustrated via an example based on Chua's circuit.

This letter presents an experiment for estimating accurate state in distributed power systems. This letter employs a technique that combines a projected Jacobi method with a parallel dual-type method to solve the distributed state estimation with constraints problems. Via numerous tests, this letter demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed method on the IEEE 118-bus with four subsystems in a PC network.

Off-line state identification methods for a sequential machine using a homing sequence or an adaptive homing sequence (AHS) are well-known in the automata theory. There are, however, so far few studies on the subject of the on-line state estimator such as a state observer (SO) which is used in the linear system theory. In this paper, we shall construct such an SO for a Moore machine based on the state identification process by means of AHSs, and discuss the convergence property of the SO.

In the measurement of actual random phenomenon, the observed data often contain the fuzziness due to the existence of confidence limitation in measuring instruments, permissible error in experimental data, some practical simplification of evaluation procedure and a quantized error in digitized observation. In this study, by introducing the well-known fuzzy theory, a state estimation method based on the above fuzzy observations is theoretically proposed through an establishment of wide sense digital filter under the actual situation of existence of the background noise in close connection of the inverse problem. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed method are experimentally confirmed by applying it to the actual fuzzy data observed in an acoustic environment.
It often occurs in an environmental phenomenon in our daily life that a specific signal is partially or completely contaminated by the additional external noise. In this study, a digital filter for estimating a specific signal fluctuating impulsively under the existence of an actual external noise with various kinds of probability distribution forms is proposed in an improved form of already reported digital filter. The effectivenss of the proposed theory is experimentally confirmed by applying it to the estimation of an actual impulsve signal in a room acoustic.
