Computer architecture for Kalman filtering. Final technical report, 10 September 1987-9 March 1988

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6581537
Highly parallel architectures are developed to meet the increasingly demanding throughput requirements of DoD signal-processing applications. In particular, to perform multi-dimensional Kalman filtering at sample rates approaching 15 kHz, innovative techniques are presented to partition the problem for real-time implementation. A unique decoupling of the predictor and corrector equations in the Kalman filter is developed to speed up computations by two (2) orders of magnitude (100x). The proposed parallel algorithms and architectures are well suited for recursive filtering and image and signal processing for next-generation instrument radar and telemetry equipment.
