Talk: Distributed filtering of sensor networks

Abstract: The past few decades have witnessed constant research interests on various aspects of sensor networks due primarily to the fact that sensor networks have been extensively applied in many fields such as information collection, environmental monitoring, industrial automation and intelligent buildings. In particular, the distributed filtering or estimation for sensor networks has been an ongoing research issue that attracts increasing attention from researchers in the area. In this talk, we will report our recent work on distributed filtering over both the finite-horizon and infinite-horizon. We will first talk about the distributed consensus H-infinity filtering in sensor networks with multiple missing measurements, and then discuss about the distributed H-infinity filtering for polynomial nonlinear stochastic systems in sensor networks. Some future research directions will be pointed out as well.
