Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An estimation device includes an observation system constraint determination unit configured to determine data within constraints that is data within a first constraint based on time series data of each observation value of a first observation value observed by a first observation system and a second observation value observed by a second observation system, a model estimation unit configured to estimate parameters of a plurality of models including an observation model that is a model of each of the observation systems and a physical model that is a model within an apparatus provided with each of the observation systems based on the data within constraints, and a consistency determination unit configured to determine consistency of the models based on a deviation between a first predicted observation value predicted from the second observation system based on the estimated parameters and the first observation value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An estimation device comprising: an observation system constraint determination unit configured to determine data within constraints that is data within a first constraint based on time series data of each observation value of a first observation value observed by a first observation system and a second observation value observed by a second observation system; a model estimation unit configured to estimate parameters of a plurality of models including an observation model that is a model of each of the observation systems and a physical model that is a model within an apparatus provided with each of the observation systems based on the data within constraints; and a consistency determination unit configured to determine consistency of the models based on a deviation between a first predicted observation value predicted from the second observation system based on the estimated parameters and the first observation value. 2 . The estimation device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a physical quantity constraint determination unit configured to determine whether a physical quantity estimated value that is a physical quantity within the apparatus estimated based on the parameters is within a second constraint. 3 . The estimation device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a model constraint determination unit configured to determine whether each parameter is within a third constraint. 4 . The estimation device according to claim 1 , wherein the model estimation unit obtains a deviation between physical quantity estimated values that are physical quantities within the apparatus and are estimated based on the parameters from each of three or more systems in a network model including the plurality of models. 5 . The estimation device according to claim 1 , further comprising: an intervention measure unit capable of changing the parameters by intervention to the physical model. 6 . The estimation device according to claim 5 , wherein the intervention measure unit includes a feedback controller configured to feed back the first observation value to the physical model and to change the parameters.
