Square-Root Sigma-Point Information Consensus Filters for Distributed Nonlinear Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the convergence rate and numerical characteristics of the nonlinear information consensus filter for object tracking using a distributed sensor network. To avoid the Jacobian calculation, improve the numerical characteristic and achieve more accurate estimation results for nonlinear distributed estimation, we introduce square-root extensions of derivative-free information weighted consensus filters (IWCFs), which employ square-root versions of unscented transform, Stirling's interpolation and cubature rules to linearize nonlinear models, respectively. In addition, to improve the convergence rate, we introduce the square-root dynamic hybrid consensus filters (DHCFs), which use an estimated factor to weight the information contributions and shows a faster convergence rate when the number of consensus iterations is limited. Finally, compared to the state of the art, the simulation shows that the proposed methods can improve the estimation results in the scenario of distributed camera networks.

Stability of consensus extended Kalman filter for distributed state estimation
The paper addresses consensus-based networked estimation of the state of a nonlinear dynamical system. The focus is on a family of distributed state estimation algorithms which relies on the extended Kalman filter linearization paradigm. Consensus is exploited in order to fuse the information, both prior and novel, available in each network node. It is shown that the considered family of distri...

This paper derives a square-root information-type filtering algorithm for nonlinear multi-sensor fusion problems using the cubature Kalman filter theory. The resulting filter is called the square-root cubature Information filter (SCIF). The SCIF propagates the square-root information matrices derived from numerically stable matrix operations and is therefore numerically robust. The SCIF is appl...

Nonlinear estimation based on probabilistic inference forms a core component in most modern GNC systems. The estimator optimally fuses observations from multiple sensors with predictions from a nonlinear dynamic state-space model of the system under control. The current industry standard and most widely used algorithm for this purpose is the extended Kalman filter (EKF). Unfortunately, the EKF ...
