Defines the base class of online zero delay observers. Zero delay observers are the classical state observers where input and state values at instant k and the measurement value at instant k+1 are enough to provide the estimation of the state at instant k+1. This class mostly defines the data structures for storing the vectors, it describes the set routines and the observation loop mechanism. It requires to be derviated to implement the new oneStepEstimation_() method. More...

Member Function Documentation

◆ clearInputs()

virtual void stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::clearInputs ( )

virtual

Remove all the given values of the inputs If there is no input, this instruction has no effect

Implements stateObservation::ObserverBase.

◆ clearInputsAndMeasurements()

virtual void stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::clearInputsAndMeasurements ( )

virtual

Remove all the given values of the inputs and measurements.

Reimplemented from stateObservation::ObserverBase.

◆ clearMeasurements()

virtual void stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::clearMeasurements ( )

virtual

Remove all the given values of the measurements.

Implements stateObservation::ObserverBase.

◆ clearStates()

virtual void stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::clearStates ( )

virtual

Removes the state estimation.

inherited from ObserverBase

Implements stateObservation::ObserverBase.

Reimplemented in stateObservation::KalmanFilterBase.

◆ estimateState()

virtual TimeIndex stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::estimateState ( )

virtual

run the observer until the measurement vector is depleted.

the observer has to be able to reconstruct all the state values from the current time to the last measurement time. That means all the input values reauired have to be provided before.

Returns: the current time

◆ getCurrentEstimatedState()

virtual ObserverBase::StateVector stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::getCurrentEstimatedState ( ) const

virtual

Get the Current Estimated State.

Returns: ObserverBase::StateVector

◆ getCurrentTime()

virtual TimeIndex stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::getCurrentTime ( ) const

virtual

Get the value of the time index of the current state estimation.

◆ getEstimatedState()

virtual ObserverBase::StateVector stateObservation::ZeroDelayObserver::getEstimatedState ( TimeIndex k )

virtual

getestimated State

Parameters

k	The time index of the expected state value

Returns: ObserverBase::StateVector

If k is equal to the current time k_0, this will give the value of the last state/estimate.

If k is larger than the current time k_0, this will run the observer loop and get the state estimation of the state at instant k.

In order to estimate the state k, two conditions have to be met:

the time index k must be superior or equal to the current time k_0, the estimator does not record past values of the state and cannot observe past states.
the observer has to be able to reconstruct all the state values from k_0 to k. That means all the measurements or input values reauired have to be provided before.

That means generally (for most zero delay observers) that when current time is k_0 (we know an estimation of x_{k_0}) and we want to reconstruct the state at time k>k_0 we need to have the values of y_{k_0+1} to y_{k} and u_{k_0} to u_{k-1} (or u_{k} depending on the measure dynamics)

This method sets the current time to k

Implements stateObservation::ObserverBase.
