A dual Kalman filter approach for state estimation via output-only acceleration measurements

SE Azam, E Chatzi, C Papadimitriou - Mechanical systems and signal …, 2015 - Elsevier
A dual implementation of the Kalman filter is proposed for estimating the unknown input and
states of a linear state-space model by using sparse noisy acceleration measurements. The …
