Estimation of Derivatives and Reconstruction of Discontinuities
Description
In many technical processes better results are achieved when not only the measurements but also their derivatives are used in process control. Additionally, the identification of fast process variations may be favorable in order to react suitably.
In practice, measurement noise makes the estimation of derivatives and the identification of fast process changes difficult. Recent algebraic methods for these tasks provide good noise attenuation and allow for efficient real-time implementation.
Here, the key challenge is the parameterization in practical applications, since the wrong parameterization causes poor estimation results. Therefore, methods for the systematic selection of estimation parameters are developed at the Chair of Systems Theory and Control Engineering.

Video: Juggling a table tennis ball with a plate floating in a magnetic field
The floating plate is automatically controlled in such a way that a table tennis ball bounces continuously. Ball position is not measured. Instead, collisions between the 2.7 g table tennis ball and the 4.7 kg tabletop are detected using a simple mathematical process model and algebraic estimation methods. The estimation results are used to move the plate appropriately.
