The cubature Kalman filter (CKF) has poor performance in strongly nonlinear systems while the cubature particle filter has high computational complexity induced by stochastic sampling. To address these problems, a novel CKF named double-Layer cubature Kalman filter (DLCKF) is proposed. In the proposed DLCKF, the prior distribution is represented by a set of weighted deterministic sampling points, and each deterministic sampling point is updated by the inner CKF. Finally, the update mechanism of the outer CKF is used to obtain the state estimations. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has not only high estimation accuracy but also low computational complexity, compared with the state-of-the-art filtering algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
