The issues of state estimations based on distributed observers for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with multiple sensors are discussed in this paper. We deal with the scenario when the information exchange has known time delays, and aim at designing a distributed observer for each subsystem such that each distributed observer can estimate the system state asymptotically by rejecting the time delay. To begin with, by rewriting the target system in a connecting form, a subsystem which is affected by the time-delay states of other nodes is established. And then, for this subsystem, a distributed observer with time delay is constructed. Moreover, an equivalent state transformation is made for the observer error dynamic system based on the observable canonic decomposition theorem. Further, in order to ensure that the distributed observer error dynamic system is asymptotically stable even if there exists a time delay, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) which is relative to the Laplace matrix is elaborately set up, and a special Lyapunov function candidate based on the LMI is considered. Next, based on the Lyapunov function and Lyapunov stability theory, we prove that the error dynamic system of the distributed observer is asymptotically stable, and the observer gain is determined by a feasible solution of the LMI. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
