Extended Neighborhood Message Passing for Inference in Loopy Factor Graphs
Kuilong Yang, Zengfu Wang, Hua Lan
Belief propagation (BP) is widely used for inference on probabilistic graphical models but often suffers from non-convergence and poor accuracy on loopy factor graphs, yielding ine…
On the Convergence of Belief Propagation for Multipath Data Association in Target Tracking
Kuilong Yang, Zengfu Wang, Hua Lan
Belief propagation (BP) is widely used for data association (DA) in target tracking. Existing convergence analyses of BP for DA address only the two-way correspondence between targ…
SLIDER: Sparse History-Guided Aerial Robot Target Search using Sliding Local Maps
Xiaolei Hou, Zheng Pan, Hua Lan +6
Efficient exploration and target search in large-scale unknown environments remain challenging for aerial robots due to the demands of broad spatial coverage, fine-grained percepti…
Joint State Estimation and Noise Identification Based on Variational Optimization
Hua Lan, Shijie Zhao, Jinjie Hu +2
In this article, the state estimation problems with unknown process noise and measurement noise covariances for both linear and nonlinear systems are considered. By formulating the…
