6 Chapter 2 An ntroducton to partcle flters 2.1 Framewor We have developed ths lbrary n the contet of tracng problems [9]. In the net paragraphs, we recall the defnton of tracng problems and we present Bayesan flters whch are generally used to solve them Defnton of the tracng problem We follow [1] and [8] n ther defnton of the general tracng problem. We note R n the vector of states and z R n z the measurement vector at tme nde. In our settng, we assume that the evoluton of s gven by a frst-order Marov model: = f (t, 1, ν ) (2.1) where f s a non-lnear functon and ν a nose process. In general, the state s not observed drectly, but partally through the measurement vector z. Thus, t s further assumed that the measurement vector s lned to the target state vector through the followng measurement equaton: z = h (t,, η ) (2.2) where h s a non-lnear functon, and η s a second nose process ndependent from ν. Our goal s thus to estmate from the set of all avalable measurements z 1: = {z, = 1,..., }. The goal n a tracng problem s to estmate the state varable, the current state of the system at tme t, usng all avalable measurement z 1: = {z l } l=1: Bayesan flters The pror densty of the state vector at tme s gven by the Chapman-Kolmogorov equaton: p ( z 1: 1 ) = p ( 1: 1 ) p ( 1 z 1: 1 ) d 1 (2.3) where we used the fact that our model s a frst-order Marov model to wrte p ( 1: 1, z 1: 1 ) = p ( 1: 1 ). Ths equaton s nown as the Bayes predcton step. It gves an estmate of the probablty densty functon of gven all avalable nformaton untl 5
7 6 CHAPTER 2. AN INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLE FILTERS 1. At tme, as a new measurement value z becomes avalable, one can update the probablty densty of : p ( z 1: ) p (z ) p ( z 1: 1 ) (2.4) Ths equaton s nown as the Bayes update step. The Bayesan flter corresponds to the system of the two recursve equatons (2.3) and (2.4). In order to ntalze the recurrence algorthm, we assume the probablty dstrbuton of the ntal state vector p ( 0 ) to be nown. Usng Bayesan flters, we do not only derve the probablty dstrbutons p ( z 1: 1 ) and p ( z 1: ), but we may also compute the best estmates ˆ 1 and ˆ whch are gven by: ˆ 1 = E [ z 1: 1 ] = p ( z 1: 1 ) d and: ˆ = E [ z 1: ] = p ( z 1: ) d When loong at Bayesan flters, the frst dstncton should be between the type of state varables. On the one hand, n the case of a state varable wth a fnte number of dscrete states, one can use Grd-based methods to get an optmal soluton to the Bayesan flter, ndependently of the form of the densty functons. On the other hand, f the state varable s contnuous, then there ests no method n general provdng an optmal soluton, ecept for the normal case. Snce the Gaussan famly s ts own conjugate, models wth Gaussan denstes have a partcular attracton. If, furthermore, the functons f and h n (2.1) and (2.2) are lnear, then the optmal soluton of the Bayesan flter s gven by the Kalman flter. Moreover, n the case where the nose denstes are Gaussan but the functons f and h are nonlnear, one can use an appromate method called Etended Kalman flter (EKF) where the functons f and h are replaced by local lnear appromaton usng ther frst dervatves at each recurson. In the more general case of non Gaussan denstes, one has to resort to sub-optmal algorthms, called partcle flters, to appromate the soluton to the Bayesan flter. The dea behnd partcle flters s rather smple. Snce no closed-form soluton to the tracng problem can be found n general, one smply smulate at each step a sample of partcles whch wll be used to provde a dscrete estmaton of the densty functon, the flterng densty, p( z 1: ). 2.2 Partcle flters Partcle flterng methods are technques to mplement recursve Bayesan flters usng Monte- Carlo smulatons. The ey dea s to represent the posteror densty functon by a set of random samples wth assocated weghts and to compute estmates based on these samples and weghts [1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8]. As the samples become very large N s 1, ths Monte-Carlo appromaton becomes an equvalent representaton on the functonal descrpton of the posteror pdf. To clarfy deas 1, let {, } Ns w denotes a set of support ponts { =1, = 1,..., N } s and ther assocated weghts { w, = 1,..., N s} characterzng the posteror densty p ( z 0: ). The posteror densty at tme can then be appromated as: 1 Note that the succnct presentaton gven here of partcle flters s adapted to our frst-order Marovan framewor. N s p ( z ) wδ ( ) =1 (2.5)
8 2.2. PARTICLE FILTERS 7 We have thus a dscrete weghted appromaton to the true posteror dstrbuton. One common way of choosng the weghts s by way of mportance samplng see for eample [1, 3, 5, 8]. Ths prncple reles on the followng dea. In the general case, the probablty densty p ( z ) s such that t s dffcult to draw samples from t. Assume for a moment that p () π () s a probablty densty from whch t s dffcult to draw sample from, but for whch π () s easy to evaluate. Hence, up to proportonalty, so s p (). Also, let s q () be samples that are easly drawn from a proposal q ( ), called an mportance densty. Then, smlarly to 2.5, a weghted appromaton of the densty p ( ) can be obtaned by usng: where: N s p () w δ ( ) =1 w π ( ) q ( ) s the normalzed weght of the -th partcle. Thus, f the samples { } were drawn from a proposal densty q ( z ), then the weghts n (2.5) are defned to be: w p ( z ) q ( z ) (2.6) The PF sequental algorthm can thus be subsumed n the followng steps. At each teraton, one has samples consttutng an appromaton of p ( 1 z ) ( ) 1 and wants to appromate p z wth a new set of samples. If the mportance densty can be chosen so as to factorze n the followng way: q ( z ) = q ( 1, z ) q ( 1 z 1 ) (2.7) then one can obtan samples { } by drawng samples from q ( z ). To derve the weght update equaton: p ( z ) = p (z, z 1 ) p ( z 1 ) p (z z 1 ) = p (z, z 1 ) p ( 1, z 1 ) p ( 1 z 1 ) p (z z 1 ) = p (z ) p ( 1 ) p ( 1 z 1 ) p (z z 1 ) p (z ) p ( 1 ) p ( 1 z 1 ) (2.8) By substtutng (2.7) and (2.8) nto (2.6), the weght equaton can be derved to be: w w 1 p ( ( ) z ) p 1 q ( 1, z ) (2.9) and the posteror densty p ( z ) can be appromated usng (2.5). We refer the reader to [1] for a more detaled but concse eposé of the dfferences between the dfferent PF algorthms: sequental mportance samplng (SIS), generc partcle flter, samplng mportance resamplng (SIR), aulary partcle flter (APF), and regularzed partcle flter (RPF). We provde a succnct eposé of the SIS, SIR algorthms as well as the generc partcle flter s and the regularzed partcle flter s n the net secton. One mportant feature of PF s that not one mplementaton s better than all the others. In dfferent contets, dfferent PFs may have wldly dfferent performances.
9 8 CHAPTER 2. AN INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLE FILTERS 2.3 Numercal Algorthms In the prevous secton, we presented the algorthm, nown under the name Sequental Importance Samplng (SIS), whch forms the bass for most sequental Monte Carlo flters developed over the past decade [1]. We start by provdng ts pseudo code n Algorthm 1, before eposng the more advanced algorthms we used: a generc Partcle Flter (GPF), a Samplng Importance Resamplng (SIR) algorthm, and a regularzed Partcle Flter (RPF). Algorthm 1 SIS Partcle Flter procedure { SIS Partcle Flter(z 1:T,N s ) Runs a SIS Partcle Flter 0, w0} =1:N s p 0 (.) Intalzaton 1 whle { < T do, w} =1:N s SIS Step( 1, w 1, z ) + 1 end whle return { 1:T, } w 1:T =1:N s end procedure procedure SIS step( 1, w 1, z ) Propagates the sample from state 1 to state for = 1 : N s do Draw q ( 1, z ) Assgn the partcle a weght, w, accordng to 2.9 end for return {, } w =1:N s end procedure The SIS algorthm s thus a very smple algorthm, easy to mplement. However, t commonly suffers from a degeneracy phenomenon, where after only a few teratons, all but one partcle wll have neglgble weghts. Ths degeneracy problems mples that a large computatonal effort wll be devoted to updatng partcles whose contrbuton to the appromaton of the flterng densty p ( z 1: ) s quas null. In order to allevate ths problem, more advanced algorthm have been devsed. One way to deal wth degeneracy s to carefully choose the mportance densty functon q ( 1, z ). We leave to the reader to consult [1] for a dscusson of the mportance of the choce of the mportance densty. Another smple dea s to resample the partcles when a certan measure of degeneracy becomes too large (or too small). For eample, one could calculate the effectve sample sze N eff defned as: N eff = N s 1 + σ ( w where w = p ( z 1:) /q ( 1, z ) s referred to as the true weght. As ths cannot be valued eactly, ths quantty can be estmated usng: ˆN eff = Ns =1 ) 2 1 ( ) w 2 (2.10) We provde n Algorthm 2 and n Algorthm 3 respectvely the resamplng algorthm we used and the generc Partcle Flter whch s deduced from the SIS algorthm by addng ths resamplng step to avod degeneracy.

Furthermore, when the underlyng densty s Gaussan wth a unt covarance matr, the optmal choce for the bandwdth s: h opt = AN 1 n+4 s A = [ 8c 1 n (n + 4) ( 2 π ) n ] 1 n+4 We can now provde the algorthm for the regularzed Partcle Flter n Algorthm 5.
