Consider the convection diffusion equation \begin{equation} \label{eq:CDeq} \frac{\partial z(t,x)}{\partial t} = \nabla \cdot\left[K \nabla z(t,x))\right] - \nabla \cdot \left[K z(t,x)\right] +g(x) \eta(t) \end{equation} on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$. We assume the sensed output is given by \begin{equation} y_{i}(t)=\iiint\limits_{B_{\delta}(x_{i}(t))\cap\Omega}h_{i}(x)z(t,x)dx +E_{i}v(t), \end{equation} where $B_{\delta}(x_{i}(t))$ is a $\delta-$neighborhood of the trajectory $x_{i}(t)$ of a moving sensor platform and and $h_{i}(x)$ is a kernel function.

Let $\boldsymbol{y}(t)= [y_{1}(t) \ y_{2}(t) \ ... y_{p}(t)]^{T}$ and \[ C(t) = \iiint\limits_{B_{\delta}(\boldsymbol{\boldsymbol{{x}}}_{i}(t))\cap\Omega }h_{i}(\boldsymbol{\boldsymbol{{x}}})z(t,\boldsymbol{\boldsymbol{{x}}})d\boldsymbol{\boldsymbol{{x}}} \]

Given the system above, a stable (full) state estimator (Luenberger observer) will have the form% \begin{equation} \frac{\partial\hat{z}(t,x)}{\partial t} = \nabla \cdot\left[K \nabla z(t,x))\right] - \nabla \cdot \left[K z(t,x)\right] +g(x) \eta(t) +\mathcal{F}(t,x)[\boldsymbol{y}(t)-C(t)\hat{z}(t,x)],\label{eq:abstractobserver} \end{equation} where $\mathcal{F}(t,\cdot):\mathbb{R}^{p}\rightarrow Z=L_{2}(\Omega)$ is a bounded linear operator called the observer gain operator. The goal is to find an observer gain operator so that the error $e(t)=z(t)-\hat{z}(t)$ goes to zero as $ t$ approaches $ + \infty $ and the data driven dynamical estimator can be realized in real time. In this talk, we discuss this problem and show that real time implementation is possible.
