“…To reduce external interferences, several methods had been proposed to improve the readout system, such as the adaptive filter [ 18 , 19 ], least squares [ 20 , 21 ], minimum mean square error (MMSE) [ 22 ], maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) [ 23 ], iterative method [ 24 ], Wiener filter [ 25 ], and Kalman filter [ 26 ]. Regarding the natural properties and application of pressure sensors, the Kalman filter has a superior performance for the readout system with a single variable of input, a linearly response output, a reduction of noise and a high efficiency of prediction [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Therefore, a newly developed readout system integrated with a microprocessor, impedance converter, and algorithm design of the Kalman filter is first proposed and illustrated in the current study for a pressure sensor array of 14 × 18 pixels on a textile-based mattress for clinic interfacial pressure monitoring.…”
