%0 Journal Article %T A Velocity Measurement Method Based on Scaling Parameter Estimation of a Chaotic System %A Lidong Liu %A Jifeng Hu %A Zishu He %A Chunlin Han %A Huiyong Li %A Jun Li %J Metrology and Measurement Systems %D 2011 %I %R 10.2478/v10178-011-0009-1 %X In this paper, we propose a new method of measuring the target velocity by estimating the scaling parameter of a chaos-generating system. First, we derive the relation between the target velocity and the scaling parameter of the chaos-generating system. Then a new method for scaling parameter estimation of the chaotic system is proposed by exploiting the chaotic synchronization property. Finally, numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method in target velocity measurement. %K signal processing %K parameter estimation %K chaos %K synchronization %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/d756p1p261768703/?p=2974d25455c14b14bba06174b55811ba&pi=8
