Optimal Measurement Methods for Distributed Parameter System Identification

Ucinski (U. of Zielona Gora, Poland) offers an account of classical and recent work on sensor placement for parameter estimation in dynamic distributed systems modeled by partial differential equations. He focuses on using real-valued functions of the Fisher information matrix of parameters as the performance index to be minimized with respect to the positions of point-wise sensors, and on determining the best way to guide scanning and moving sensors and making the solutions independent of ...
