These uncertainties severelyaffect filter performance and may even provoke divergence. Astrong tracking filter (STF), which utilizes a suboptimal fading factor,is an adaptive approach that is commonly adopted to solvethis problem. However, if the strong tracking SCKF (STSCKF)uses the same method as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) tointroduce the suboptimal fading factor, it greatly increases thecomputational load. To avoid this problem, a low-cost introductorymethod is proposed and a hypothesis testing theory is applied todetect uncertainties. The computational load analysis is performedby counting the total number of floating-point operations and it isfound that the computational load of LCASCKF is close to that ofSCKF. Experimental results prove that the LCASCKF performs aswell as STSCKF, while the increase in computational load is muchlower than STSCKF.展开更多

The Bernoulli distributed ran-dom variable is employed to describe the phenomenon of intermit-tent observations. According to the cubature sample principle, theestimation error and the error covariance matrix (ECM) of CKFIare derived by Taylor series expansion, respectively. Afterwards, itis theoretically proved that the ECM will be bounded if the obser-vation arrival probability exceeds a critical minimum observationarrival probability. Meanwhile, under proper assumption corre-sponding with real engineering situations, the stochastic stabilityof the estimation error can be guaranteed when the initial estima-tion error and the stochastic noise terms are sufficiently small. Thetheoretical conclusions are verified by numerical simulations fortwo illustrative examples; also by evaluating the tracking perfor-mance of the optical-electric target tracking system implementedby CKFI and unscented Kalman filter with intermittent observa-tions (UKFI) separately, it is demonstrated that the proposed CKFIslightly outperforms the UKFI with respect to tracking accuracy aswell as real time performance.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

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

Firstly,the marginalized technique is adopted to model the target system dynamics with nonlinear state and linear state separately,and the two parts are estimated by cubature Kalman filter and standard Kalman filter respectively. Therefore,the linear part avoids the generation and propagation process of cubature points. Accordingly,the computational complexity is reduced.Meanwhile,the accuracy of state estimation is improved by taking the difference of nonlinear state estimation as the measurement of linear state. Furthermore,the computational complexity of marginalized cubature Kalman filter is discussed by calculating the number of floating-point operation. Finally,simulation experiments and analysis show that the proposed algorithm can improve the performance of filtering precision and real-time effectively in target tracking system.展开更多

In this work, CKF is compared with SPKF and EKF in ideal conditions and during GNSS outliers supposed to occur during specific interval of time, innovation based adaptive approach is selected and used to modify the covariance calculation of the non linear filters performed in this paper. Interesting results are observed, discussed with real perspectives in navigation data fusion for real time applications. Three parallel modified algorithms are simulated and compared to non-adaptive forms according to Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) criteria.展开更多

文摘Aiming at the adverse effect caused by observation noise on system state estimation precision,a novel distributed cubature Kalman filter(CKF) based on observation bootstrap sampling is proposed.Firstly,combining with the extraction and utilization of the latest observation information and the prior statistical information from observation noise modeling,an observation bootstrap sampling strategy is designed.The objective is to deal with the adverse influence of observation uncertainty by increasing observations information.Secondly,the strategy is dynamically introduced into the cubature Kalman filter,and the distributed fusion framework of filtering realization is constructed.Better filtering precision is obtained by promoting observation reliability without increasing the hardware cost of observation system.Theory analysis and simulation results show the proposed algorithm feasibility and effectiveness.

文摘Mobile robot systems performing simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM) are generally plagued by non-Gaussian noise.To improve both accuracy and robustness under non-Gaussian measurement noise,a robust SLAM algorithm is proposed.It is based on the square-root cubature Kalman filter equipped with a Huber' s generalized maximum likelihood estimator(GM-estimator).In particular,the square-root cubature rule is applied to propagate the robot state vector and covariance matrix in the time update,the measurement update and the new landmark initialization stages of the SLAM.Moreover,gain weight matrices with respect to the measurement residuals are calculated by utilizing Huber' s technique in the measurement update step.The measurement outliers are suppressed by lower Kalman gains as merging into the system.The proposed algorithm can achieve better performance under the condition of non-Gaussian measurement noise in comparison with benchmark algorithms.The simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed SLAM algorithm.

文摘This paper evaluates the state estimation performance for processing nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems using the cubature particle lter(CPF),which is an estimation algorithm that combines the cubature Kalman lter(CKF)and the particle lter(PF).The CPF is essentially a realization of PF where the third-degree cubature rule based on numerical integration method is adopted to approximate the proposal distribution.It is benecial where the CKF is used to generate the importance density function in the PF framework for effectively resolving the nonlinear/non-Gaussian problems.Based on the spherical-radial transformation to generate an even number of equally weighted cubature points,the CKF uses cubature points with the same weights through the spherical-radial integration rule and employs an analytical probability density function(pdf)to capture the mean and covariance of the posterior distribution using the total probability theorem and subsequently uses the measurement to update with Bayes’rule.It is capable of acquiring a maximum a posteriori probability estimate of the nonlinear system,and thus the importance density function can be used to approximate the true posterior density distribution.In Bayesian ltering,the nonlinear lter performs well when all conditional densities are assumed Gaussian.When applied to the nonlinear/non-Gaussian distribution systems,the CPF algorithm can remarkably improve the estimation accuracy as compared to the other particle lterbased approaches,such as the extended particle lter(EPF),and unscented particle lter(UPF),and also the Kalman lter(KF)-type approaches,such as the extended Kalman lter(EKF),unscented Kalman lter(UKF)and CKF.Two illustrative examples are presented showing that the CPF achieves better performance as compared to the other approaches.
