MHB Interpreting a Block Diagram: How Should it be Read?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on interpreting a block diagram related to Kalman filtering. It highlights the ambiguity in how input signals (u) are processed with noise, as the diagram does not specify whether the noise is added or subtracted. Additionally, the flow of output signals (y) from the plant is also affected by sensor noise before entering the Kalman filter. Participants express uncertainty about the correct interpretation of the diagram, particularly regarding the handling of noise. Overall, clarity in the representation of signal processing in block diagrams is essential for accurate understanding.

How do we interept what is going on in the block diagram?

We have u going in and being added or subtracted from noise but we arent giving the plus and minus to determine which it is. Then there is a branch off u going straight to the Kalman filter. Then y comes from the plant and is added or subtract to sensor noise and yv comes out and enters the Kalman filter with an output of ye. Additionally, we have a branch off y.

This is just from visualizing it but how should it be read?

Can't say I'm an expert on Kalman filtering, though I've heard of it. I would say, though, that both noises are added to the incoming signals.
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
