This paper addresses the fusion estimation problem in tessarine systems with multi-sensor observations affected by mixed uncertainties when under Tk-properness conditions. Observations from each sensor can be updated, delayed, or contain only noise, and a correlation is assumed between the state and the observation noises. Recursive algorithms for the optimal local linear filter at each sensor as well as both centralized and distributed linear fusion estimators are derived using an innovation approach. The Tk-properness assumption implies a reduction in the dimension of the augmented system, which yields computational savings in the previously mentioned algorithms compared to their counterparts, which are derived from real or widely linear processing. A numerical simulation example illustrates the obtained theoretical results and allows us to visualize, among other aspects, the insignificant difference in the accuracy of both fusion filters, which means that the distributed filter, although suboptimal, is preferable in practice as it implies a lower computational cost.

The centralized fusion estimation problem for discrete-time vectorial tessarine signals in multiple sensor stochastic systems with random one-step delays and correlated noises is analyzed under different T-properness conditions. Based on Tk, k=1,2, linear processing, new centralized fusion filtering, prediction, and fixed-point smoothing algorithms are devised. These algorithms have the advantage of providing optimal estimators with a significant reduction in computational cost compared to that obtained through a real or a widely linear processing approach. Simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the algorithms proposed, in which the superiority of the Tk linear estimators over their counterparts in the quaternion domain is apparent.
