Abstract

The invention relates to a method having application to combustion control of an internal-combustion engine for real-time estimation of engine combustion parameters from vibratory signals. A vibratory signal representative of the engine vibrations is continuously acquired as a function of the crank angle, from a vibration detector. Real-time filtering of this vibratory signal and real-time estimation of the Fourier decomposition coefficients for the acquired vibratory signal is carried out by inverting the dynamics of the filter which is used. Finally, real-time estimation of combustion parameters allowing the combustion to be qualified is carried out from these coefficients.
