Data-Driven Sparse Sensor Placement for Reconstruction: Demonstrating the Benefits of Exploiting Known Patterns

Open access
·2018·IEEE Control Systems

Abstract

Optimal sensor and actuator placement is an important unsolved problem in control theory. Nearly every downstream control decision is affected by these sensor and actuator locations, but determining optimal locations amounts to an intractable brute-force search among the combinatorial possibilities. Indeed, there are (np) = n!/((n-p)!p!) possible choices of p point sensors out of an n-dimensional state x. Determining optimal sensor and actuator placement in general, even for linear feedback control, is an open challenge. Instead, sensor and actuator locations are routinely chosen according to heuristics and intuition. For moderate-sized search spaces, the sensor placement problem has well-known model-based solutions using optimal experiment design [1], [2], and information theoretic and Bayesian criteria [3]-[7]. As discussed in "Summary," this article explores how to design optimal sensor locations for signal reconstruction in a framework that scales to arbitrarily large problems, leveraging modern techniques in machine learning and sparse sampling. Reducing the number of sensors through principled selection may be critically enabling when sensors are costly, and it may also enable faster state estimation for low-latency, high-bandwidth control.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
