This paper presents the results of a quaternion based extend Kalman filter (EKF) and complementary filter for ArduPilotMega (APM) attitude estimation. In addition, a new method to get the measurement noise covariance matrix R is proposed. Experimental results show that the two algorithms can meet the requirements, but the complementary filter can yield better performance than EKF.

Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter

To solve the problem of unknown state noises and uncertain measurement noises inherent in underwater cooperative navigation, a new Variational Bayesian (VB)-based Adaptive Extended Kalman Filter (VBAEKF) for master–slave Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) is proposed in this paper. The Inverse Wishart (IW) distribution is used to model the predicted error covariance and measurement noise covariance matrix. The state, together with the predicted error covariance and measurement noise covariance matrix, can be adaptively estimated based on VB approximation. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through a lake trial, which shows the advantage of the proposed algorithm.

A new nonlinear filter method Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) is improved for passive location with moving angle-measured sensors’ measurements.Firstly,it used Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm to estimate measurement noise covariance; And then the covariance of the procession noise and measurement noise is brought into the circle; Meanwhile,CKF is improved by the way of square root to keep its stability and positivity,and the results of track by Extend SCKF are compared with the results by Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) in the text;By the tracking results to the velocity of the target, Extend SCKF algorithm can not only track the target with unknown measurement noise but also improve the passive position precision remarkably as the same difficulty as UKF.

Aiming at the problem that the performance of Adaptive Kalman filter estimation will be affected when the statistical characteristics of the process and measurement noise matrix are inaccurate and time-varying in the linear Gaussian state-space model, an algorithm of Multi-fading factor and update monitoring strategy adaptive Kalman filter based variational Bayesian is proposed. Inverse Wishart distribution is selected as the measurement noise model, the system state vector and measurement noise covariance matrix are estimated with the variational Bayesian method. The process noise covariance matrix is estimated by the maximum a posteriori principle, and the update monitoring strategy with adjustment factors is used to maintain the positive semi-definite of the updated matrix. The above optimal estimation results are introduced as time-varying parameters into the multiple fading factors to improve the estimation accuracy of the one-step state predicted covariance matrix. The application of the proposed algorithm in target tracking is simulated. The results show that compared with the current filters, the proposed filtering algorithm has better accuracy and convergence performance, and realizes the simultaneous estimation of inaccurate time-varying process and measurement noise covariance matrices.

This paper describes a new adaptive filtering approach for nonlinear systems with additive noise. Based on Square-Root Unscented Kalman Filter (SRUKF), the traditional Maybeck’s estimator is modified and extended to the nonlinear systems, the estimation of square root of the process noise covariance matrix Q or measurement noise covariance matrix R is obtained straightforwardly. Then the positive semi-definiteness of Q or R is guaranteed, some shortcomings of traditional Maybeck’s algorithm are overcome, so the stability and accuracy of the filter is improved greatly.

Noise Covariance

Initial alignment is critical and indispensable for the inertial navigation system (INS), which determines the initial attitude matrix between the reference navigation frame and the body frame. The conventional initial alignment methods based on the Kalman-like filter require an accurate noise covariance matrix of state and measurement to guarantee the high estimation accuracy. However, in a real-life practical environment, the uncertain noise covariance matrices are often induced by the motion of the carrier and external disturbance. To solve the problem of initial alignment with uncertain noise covariance matrices and a large initial misalignment angle in practical environment, an improved initial alignment method based on an adaptive cubature Kalman filter (ACKF) is proposed in this paper. By virtue of the idea of the variational Bayesian (VB) method, the system state, one step predicted error covariance matrix, and measurement noise covariance matrix of initial alignment are adaptively estimated together. Simulation and vehicle experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of initial alignment compared with existing methods.
