To deal with the filtering problem in the appropriate nonlinear system, the extended Kalman filter (EKF), which neglects higher-order derivatives in the linearization process, has been very popular. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF), which uses a deterministic sampling approach to capture the mean and covariance estimates with a minimal set of sample points, is able to achieve at least the second order accuracy without Jacobians\u2019 computation involved. In this paper, the UKF is applied to the rigid body motion and shape dynamics to estimate feature points on moving objects. The performance evaluation is carried out through the numerical study. The results show that UKF demonstrates substantial improvement in accuracy estimation for implementing the estimation of motion and planar surface parameters of a single camera.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s110807437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,25]],"date-time":"2011-07-25T12:35:29Z","timestamp":1311597329000},"page":"7437-7454","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Unscented Kalman Filtering for Single Camera Based Motion and Shape Estimation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Dah-Jing","family":"Jwo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communications, Navigation and Control Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, 2 Pei-Ning Rd., Keelung 202-24, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Chien-Hao","family":"Tseng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Applied Research Laboratories, National Center for High-Performance Computing, Hsinchu 300, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Jen-Chu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, 2 Pei-Ning Rd., Keelung 202-24, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Hsien-Der","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Marine Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, 2 Pei-Ning Rd., Keelung 202-24, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Loucks, T, Ghosh, BK, and Lund, J (1992, January 16\u201318).
