As is well known, the heart of the CKF is the third-degree spherical–radial cubature rule which makes it possible to compute the integrals encountered in nonlinear filtering problems. However, the rule not only requires computing the integration over an n-dimensional spherical region, but also combines the spherical cubature rule with the radial rule, thereby making it difficult to construct higher-degree CKFs. Moreover, the cubature formula used to construct the CKF has some drawbacks in computation. To address these issues, we present a more general class of the CKFs, which completely abandons the spherical–radial cubature rule. It can be shown that the conventional CKF is a special case of the proposed algorithm. The paper also includes a fifth-degree extension of the CKF. Two target tracking problems are used to verify the proposed algorithm. The results of both experiments demonstrate that the higher-degree CKF outperforms the conventional nonlinear filters in terms of accuracy.展开更多

Based on standard GCQKF, two extensions are developed, namely square root generalized cubature quadrature Kalman filter (SR-GCQKF) and iterated generalized cubature quadrature Kalman filter (I-GCQKF). In SR-GCQKF, the QR decomposition is exploited to alter the Cholesky decomposition and both predicted and filtered error covariances have been propagated in square root format to make sure the numerical stability. In I-GCQKF, the measurement update step is executed iteratively to make full use of the latest measurement and a new terminal criterion is adopted to guarantee the increase of likelihood. Detailed numerical experiments demonstrate the superior performance on both tracking stability and estimation accuracy of I-GCQKF and SR-GCQKF compared with GCQKF.展开更多

We model the reconstruction signal first and then use the CKPF to estimate the signal. The CKPF uses a cubature Kalman filter (CKF) to generate the importance proposal distribution of the particle filter and integrates the latest observation, which can approximate the true posterior distribution better. It can improve the estimation accuracy. CKPF uses fewer cubature points than the unscented Kalman particle filter (UKPF) and has less computational overheads. Meanwhile, CKPF uses the square root of the error covariance for iterating and is more stable and accurate than the UKPF counterpart. Simulation results show that the algorithm can reconstruct the observed signals quickly and effectively, at the same time consuming less computational time and with more accuracy than the method based on UKPF.展开更多
