Kalman Filtering with Uncertain Noise Covariances
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the robustness of Kalman filtering against uncertainties in process and measurement noise covariances is discussed. It is shown that a standard Kalman filter may not be robust enough if the process and measurement noise covariances are changed. A new filter is proposed which addresses the uncertainties in process and measurement noise covariances and gives better results than the standard Kalman filter. This new filter is used in simulation to estimate the health parameters of an aircraft gas turbine engine.

A New Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter for a Class of Nonlinear Systems
This paper proposes a new adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for a class of nonlinear systems perturbed by noise which is not necessarily additive. The proposed filter is adaptive against the uncertainty in the process and measurement noise covariances. This is accomplished by deriving two recursive updating rules for the noise covariances, these rules are easy to implement and reduce the n...
متن کاملAdaptive ensemble Kalman filtering of nonlinear systems
A necessary ingredient of an ensemble Kalman filter is covariance inflation [1], used to control filter divergence and compensate for model error. There is an ongoing search for inflation tunings that can be learned adaptively. Early in the development of Kalman filtering, Mehra [2] enabled adaptivity in the context of linear dynamics with white noise model errors by showing how to estimate the...
متن کاملCovariance Intersection Fusion Kalman Estimators for Multi-Sensor System with Colored Measurement Noises
Abstract: For multi-sensor system with colored measurement noises, using the observation transformation, the system can be converted into an equivalent system with correlated measurement noises. Based on this method, using the classical Kalman filtering, this study proposed a Covariance Intersection (CI) fusion Kalman estimator, which can handle the fused filtering, prediction and smoothing pro...
متن کاملA Tool for Kalman Filter Tuning
The Kalman filter requires knowledge about the noise statistics. In practical applications, however, the noise covariances are generally not known. In this paper, a method for estimating noise covariances from process data has been investigated. This method yields least-squares estimates of the noise covariances, which can be used to compute the Kalman filter gain.
متن کاملFIR Filtering of State-Space Models in non-Gaussian Environment with Uncertainties Plenary Lecture
This paper examines the recently developed p-shift iterative unbiased Kalman-like algorithm intended for filtering (p = 0), prediction (p > 0), and smoothing (p < 0) of linear discrete time-varying state-space models in non Gaussian environment with uncertainties. The algorithm is designed to have no requirements for noise and initial conditions and becomes optimal on large averaging intervals....
