A SELECTION OF STARTING POINTS FOR ITERATIVE POSITION ESTIMATION ALGORITHMS USING FEEDFORWARD NEURAL NETWORKS

A Selection of Starting Points for Iterative Position Estimation Algorithms Using Feedforward Neural Networks

This article proposes the use of a feedforward neural network (FNN) to select the starting point for the first iteration in well-known iterative location estimation algorithms, with the research objective of finding the minimum size of a neural network that allows iterative position estimation algorithms to converge in an example positioning networ

Acquisition of Swept Aerodynamic Data by the Consecutive Changing of Wing Model Configuration in a Wind Tunnel Test Using Remote Feedback Control

This study conducted wind tunnel tests with consecutive deflection angle changes on a three-dimensional (3D) wing with a control surface to procure aerodynamic data by sweeping the deflection angle.Configuration changes of a wind tunnel test model, such as changing the deflection angle of control surfaces, are usually performed manually with the ve
