Abstract
Set-membership filtering aims to determine the set of feasible states when the dynamics and measurements of a system are corrupted by bounded noise having unknown statistics. In this talk, it is explained how randomly generated particles can be used to approximate the feasible state set. The theory of random closed sets in continuous spaces is then used to prove stochastic, set-theoretic convergence as the number of particles increases. Two novel modifications are proposed, which generate random samples that are more evenly distributed over the feasible state set compared to the naive application of a particle filter. Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed modifications (joint work with Dr. Pei Hua Leong)
