Weighted Flow Matching and Physics-Informed Nonlinear Filtering for Parameter Estimation in Digital Twins

- 通过加权流匹配动态聚焦高信息量参数区域
- 在噪声干扰下实现航天器转动惯量稳定估计,优于EKF/EnKF
- 适合高可靠性实时系统中的在线参数辨识
数字孪生(DT)依赖物理系统与其虚拟副本间的持续同步,需在不确定性下进行在线参数估计。然而,在实际应用中,该任务常受观测性差、激励弱、非线性动力学及噪声或偏差测量的挑战。本文提出一种新数学框架,将加权流匹配(WFM)生成建模与物理信息非线性滤波结合,以增强DT中的参数估计能力。WFM通过动态重加权训练样本,引导生成模型聚焦于最能反映系统状态演化的参数区域。该生成组件与基于无迹卡尔曼滤波(UKF)的物理信息滤波架构紧密耦合,形成统一的DT框架,融合数据驱动的概率传输与物理一致的状态与参数估计。在航天器数字孪生架构中验证了该方法的有效性:即使在不确定和噪声传感条件下,仍可实现稳定的转动惯量估计,性能显著优于经典方法如扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF)和集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF)。结果表明,加权生成建模可作为操作与任务关键系统中实时数字孪生同步的核心机制。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Digital twins (DTs) rely on continuous synchronization between physical systems and their virtual counterparts through online parameter estimation under uncertainty. In many practical settings, however, this task is challenged by low observability, weak excitation, nonlinear dynamics, and noisy or biased measurements. In this work, we develop a new mathematical framework that integrates Weighted Flow Matching (WFM) generative modeling with physics-informed nonlinear filtering to enhance parameter estimation in DTs. WFM relies on dynamic reweighting of training samples, which guides the generative model toward parameter regimes most informative of the evolving system state. This generative component is tightly coupled with a physics-informed filtering architecture based on the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), yielding a unified DT framework that combines data-driven probability transport with physically consistent state and parameter estimation. The effectiveness of the new integrated framework is demonstrated within a spacecraft DT architecture, where stable moment of inertia estimation is achieved under uncertain and noisy sensing, with significant performance improvements over established approaches such as Extended Kalman Filtering (EKF) and Ensemble Kalman Filtering (EnKF). These results highlight the potential of weighted generative modeling as a core mechanism for real-time DT synchronization in operational and mission-critical systems.
