This paper investigates an adaptation of the Kalman filter for linear continuousdiscrete system with multi-rate sampled outputs. The contribution of this article is twofold. First, we prove the exponential convergence of this observer through the existence of bounds for the Riccati matrix. Second, we highlight a technical point that allows us, under certain conditions on the sampling procedure, to prove the stability of the Riccati equation, and show that observability is preserved under multi-rate sampling. An example with two sensor outputs is given for illustration. This study can lead to applications in mobile robotics where sensors produce outputs at different rates and asynchronously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
