description The focus of this paper is on solving the state estimation problem for general continuous-time linear systems through the use of distributed networked observers. To better reflect the communication environment, stochastic noises are considered when observers exchange information. In the networked observers, each local observer measures only part of the system output, and the state estimation can not be accomplished within a single observer. Then, all observers communicate through a pre-specified graph to make up information in the remaining system output. By solving a parametric algebraic Riccati equation (ARE), a simple method to calculate parameters in the observers is proposed. Furthermore, using the stability theory of stochastic differential equations, state omniscience is discussed in almost sure sense and in the mean square sense for the cases of state-dependent noises and non-state-dependent noises, respectively. It is shown that, for observable linear systems, the resulting observers work in a coordinated mode to reach state omniscience under the connected graph. Illustrative examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the distributed observers.
