Kalman Filters and Pink Noise - Tim Wescott - 2012-08-23 20:10:00

Oddball question.  Or maybe just a plea for comments.

I'm kind of getting painted into a corner, and the color of the paint is 
pink.  It's looking like I need to estimate pink noise with a Kalman 
filter.

Anyone done anything remotely like this?  Know of anyone who has?  Did 
they survive?

The method that I know of for simulating pink noise involves running 
white noise through a filter with a ton-o-poles (our own RBJ popped up in 
the web search, interestingly enough).  I'm kinda planning on doing just 
that for the kernel in the Kalman, and see if I can find some sane 
balance between the number of states needed and accuracy.

Why am I not happy that they have found common ground?

Here's a nice page about generating pink noise without too much fuzz.

http://www.firstpr.com.au/dsp/pink-noise/

See section "Filtering white noise to make it pink" and specially "Paul Kellet's
refined method in Allan's analysis".

Hope this helps you with getting the correct color out.

That page brings back a lot of memories.

That page is where I found the handy algorithm for generating a pinking 
filter!

Re: Kalman Filters and Pink Noise - Al Clark - 2012-08-24 12:24:00

I gave a talk at the 2010 comp.dsp conference that has several pink noise 
filter solutions.

There are also many other presentations at this site.
