Abstract:
One of the important problem related to the usage of wireless sensor networks in harsh environments is the identification of the states of the physical variables in the field, based on the measurements provided by the sensors. The sensor networks allow the usage of the multivariable estimation techniques in distributed parameter systems. The paper presents an application of a multivariable auto-regression estimation technique for identification in distributed parameter systems, based on a sensor network. A case study was presented for identification in a heat diffusion process.
