Maui, Hawaii, USA abstract: In this paper, a piecewise-affine direct virtual sensor is proposed for the estimation of unmeasured outputs of nonlinear systems whose dynamical model is unknown. In order to overcome the lack of a model, the virtual sensor is designed directly from measured inputs and outputs. The proposed approach generalizes a previous contribution, allowing one to design lower-complexity estimators. Indeed, the reduced-complexity approach strongly reduces the effect of the so-called "curse of dimensionality", and can be applied to relatively high-order systems, while enjoying all the convergence and optimality properties of the original approach. date: 2012-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 656 -661 event_title: Decision and Control (CDC), 2012 IEEE 51st Annual Conference on id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2012.6426755 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-2064-1 book_title: Proceedings of the IEEE 51st Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2012 official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6426755&isnumber=6425800 citation: Rubagotti, Matteo and Poggi, Tomaso and Bemporad, Alberto and Storace, Marco Piecewise affine direct virtual sensors with Reduced Complexity.
