The estimation functions are designed directly from measured inputs and outputs and have two important features. First, they enjoy convergence and optimality properties, based on classical results on parametric identification. Second, the PWA structure is based on a simplicial partition of the measurement space and allows one to implement very effectively the virtual sensor on a digital circuit. Due to the low cost of the required hardware for the implementation of such a particular structure and to the very high sampling frequencies that can be achieved, the approach is applicable to a wide range of industrial problems. date: 2012-02 date_type: published publication: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics volume: 59 number: 2 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1228 -1237 id_number: 10.1109/TIE.2011.2161064 refereed: TRUE issn: 0278-0046 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5936726&isnumber=6046172 citation: Poggi, Tomaso and Rubagotti, Matteo and Bemporad, Alberto and Storace, Marco High-Speed piecewise affine virtual sensors.
