The first paper established a derivative unscented Kalman filter（DUKF） to eliminate the redundant computational load of the unscented Kalman filter（UKF） due to the use of unscented transformation（UT） in the prediction process. The present paper studies the error behavior of the DUKF using the boundedness property of stochastic processes. It is proved that the estimation error of the DUKF remains bounded if the system satisfies certain conditions. Furthermore, it is shown that the design of the measurement noise covariance matrix plays an important role in improvement of the algorithm stability. The DUKF can be significantly stabilized by adding small quantities to the measurement noise covariance matrix in the presence of large initial error. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.展开更多

The various features of the unscented Kalman filter （UKF） and optimal-REQUEST （quaternion estimator） algorithms are introduced for attitude determination. An interlaced filtering method is presented for the attitude determination of nano-spacecraft by setting the quaternion as the attitude representation, using the UKF and optimal-REQUEST to estimate the gyro drifts and the quaternion, respectively. The optimal-REQUEST and UKF are not isolated from each other. When the optimal-REQUEST algorithm estimates the attitude quaternion, the gyro drifts are estimated by the UKF algorithm synchronously by using the estimated attitude quaternion. Furthermore, the speed of attitude determination is improved by setting the state dimension to three. Experimental results show that the presented method has higher performance in attitude determination compared to the UKF algorithm and the traditional interlaced filtering method and can estimate the gyro drifts quickly.展开更多

Assuming a probability distribution than to approximate an arbitrary nonlinear function or transformation, eye nonlinear tracking can be achieved using an unscented transformation (UT), which adopts a set of deterministic sigma points to match the posterior probability density function of the eye movement. Driver fatigue can be detected using the percentage of eye closure (PERCLOS) framework in a realistic driving condition after the eye nonlinear tracking. This system was tested adequately in realistic driving environments with subjects of different genders, with/without glasses, in day/night driving, being commercial/noncommercial drivers, in continuous driving time, and under different road conditions. The last experimental results show that the proposed method not only improves the robustness for nonlinear eye tracking, but also can provide more accurate estimation than the traditional Kalman filter.展开更多

The measuring system is based on two odometers placed on the axis of the wheels combined with a magnetic compass to determine the position and orientation. Determination of displacements is implemented by an accelerometer. Data coming from sensors are combined and used as inputs to unscented Kalman filter （UKF）. Two data fusion architectures： measurement fusion （MF） and state vector fusion （SVF） are proposed to merge the available measurements. Comparative studies of these two architectures show that the MF architecture provides states estimation with relatively less uncertainty compared to SVF. However, odometers measurements determine the position with relatively high uncertainty followed by the accelerometer measurements. Therefore, fusion in the navigation system is needed. The obtained simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed architectures.展开更多

Based on nonlinear inertial navigation error modeling, a nested dual Kalman filter framework structure is developed. It consists of unscented Kalman filter (UKF)master filter and Kalman filter slave filter. This method uses nonlinear UKF for integrated navigation state estimation. At the same time, the exact noise measurement covariance is estimated by the Kalman filter dependency filter. The algorithm based on dual adaptive UKF (Dual-AUKF) has high accuracy and robustness, especially in the case of measurement information interference. Finally, vehicle-mounted and ship-mounted integrated navigation tests are conducted. Compared with traditional UKF and the Sage-Husa adaptive UKF (SH-AUKF), this method has comparable filtering accuracy and better filtering stability. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified.展开更多

The Gaussian sum likelihood which is derived from a sensor model accounting for both the positive and the negative information is used. GSUKF is implemented by fusing the state estimate of two or three UKF filters with proper weights which are explicitly derived in this paper. Other than GSUKF, the Gaussian sum likelihood is directly used in the weight update of the GSPF. Their performances are evaluated by comparison with the Gaussian sum extended Kalman filter(GSEKF)implementation. Simulation results show that GSPF outperforms the other filters in terms of track loss and track accuracy at the cost of large computation complexity. GSUKF and GSEKF have comparable performance; the superiority of one over another is scenario dependent.展开更多

文摘In this study, the problem of measuring noise pollution distribution by the intertial-based integrated navigation system is effectively suppressed. Based on nonlinear inertial navigation error modeling, a nested dual Kalman filter framework structure is developed. It consists of unscented Kalman filter (UKF)master filter and Kalman filter slave filter. This method uses nonlinear UKF for integrated navigation state estimation. At the same time, the exact noise measurement covariance is estimated by the Kalman filter dependency filter. The algorithm based on dual adaptive UKF (Dual-AUKF) has high accuracy and robustness, especially in the case of measurement information interference. Finally, vehicle-mounted and ship-mounted integrated navigation tests are conducted. Compared with traditional UKF and the Sage-Husa adaptive UKF (SH-AUKF), this method has comparable filtering accuracy and better filtering stability. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified.

文摘An effective autonomous navigation system for the integration of star sensor,infrared horizon sensor,magnetometer,radar altimeter and ultraviolet sensor is developed.The requirements of the integrated navigation system manager make optimum use of the various navigation sensors and allow rapid fault detection,isolation and recovery.The normal full fusion feedback method of federated unscented Kalman filter（UKF） cannot meet the needs of it.So a no-reset feedback federated Kalman filter architecture is developed and used in the autonomous navigation system.The minimal skew sigma points are chosen to improve the calculation speed.Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the algorithm.These advantages include improved failure detection and correction,improved computational efficiency,and reliability.Additionally,its＇ accuracy is higher than that of the full fusion feedback method.

文摘Geomagnetic orbit determination fits for nanosatellites which pursue low cost and high-density ratio,but one of its disadvantages is the poor position accuracy introduced by magnetic bias.Here,a new method,named the fuzzy regulating unscented Kalman filter(FRUKF),is proposed.The magnetic bias is regarded as a random walk model,and a fuzzy regulator is designed to estimate the magnetic bias more accurately.The input of the regulator is the derivative of magnetic bias estimated from unscented Kalman filter(UKF).According to the fuzzy rule,the process noise covariance is adaptively determined.The FRUKF is evaluated using the real-flight data of the SWARMA.The experimental results show that the root-mean-square(RMS)position error is 3.1 km and the convergence time is shorter than the traditional way.
文摘To handle the problem of target tracking in the presence of standoff jamming(SOJ), a Gaussian sum unscented Kalman filter(GSUKF) and a Gaussian sum particle filter(GSPF) using negative information(scans or dwells with no measurements) are implemented separately in this paper. The Gaussian sum likelihood which is derived from a sensor model accounting for both the positive and the negative information is used. GSUKF is implemented by fusing the state estimate of two or three UKF filters with proper weights which are explicitly derived in this paper. Other than GSUKF, the Gaussian sum likelihood is directly used in the weight update of the GSPF. Their performances are evaluated by comparison with the Gaussian sum extended Kalman filter(GSEKF)implementation. Simulation results show that GSPF outperforms the other filters in terms of track loss and track accuracy at the cost of large computation complexity. GSUKF and GSEKF have comparable performance; the superiority of one over another is scenario dependent.

文摘A path following controller is proposed to force an underactuated surface ship which is suffering from disturbance to follow a predefined path.The controller is based on analytic model predictive control and unscented Kalman filter(UKF) techniques.The analytic model predictive control provides a systematic method to get appropriate controller parameters to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system,and the well-defined relative degree is guaranteed by introducing output-redefinition.The UKF is used to estimate the states and uncertain parameters due to time-varying added mass matrices.With help of the proposed UKF-based controller,the underactuated ship with time-varying parameters can follow a desired straight path.Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
