Abstract

Nonlinear exponential trend model is linearized into the linear model, then linearized model parameters are regarded as the state vector containing the dynamic noise to erect Kalman filter model based on exponential trend model to predict the deformation of the rock landslide. Deformation observation values of the landslide are regarded as a time series to erect AR(1) model, then model parameters of AR(1) model are regarded as the state vector containing the dynamic noise to erect Kalman filter model based on AR(1) model to predict the deformation of the rock landslide. The deformation of the landslide is regarded as the function of the time, then Taylor series is used to determine the functional relationship between the deformation of the landslide and the time, and Taylor series is spread to erect Kalman filter model based on Taylor series to predict the deformation of the earthy landslide. The deformation of landslides relates to many factors, the rainfall and the temperature influence the deformation of landslides specially, thus Kalman filter model based on multiple factors is erect to predict the deformation of the earthy landslide on the basis of Taylor series. Numerical examples show that the fitting errors and the forecast errors of the four Kalman filter models are little.
