@article{Combs2015APF, title={A particle filter to reconstruct a free-surface flow from a depth camera}, author={Beno{\^i}t Comb{\`e}s and Dominique Heitz and Anthony Guibert and Etienne M'emin}, journal={Fluid Dynamics Research}, year={2015}, volume={47} }
We investigate the combined use of a kinect depth sensor and of a stochastic data assimilation (DA) method to recover free-surface flows. More specifically, we use a weighted ensemble Kalman filter method to reconstruct the complete state of free-surface flows from a sequence of depth images only. This particle filter accounts for model and observations errors. This DA scheme is enhanced with the use of two observations instead of one classically. We evaluate the developed approach on two…
