Nanosatellite Attitude Estimation from Vector Measurements Using SVD-Aided UKF Algorithm

Abstract: The integrated Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) method can recursively estimate the attitude and attitude rates of a nanosatellite. At first, Wahba's loss function is minimized using the SVD and the optimal attitude angles are determined on the basis of the magnetometer and Sun sensor measurements. Then, the UKF makes use of the SVD's attitude estimates as measurement results and provides more accurate attitude information as well as the attitude rate estimates. The elements… Show more

“…In a previous study, Cilden et al 42 improved the numerical computation stability of the UKF by adopting singular value decomposition (SVD) instead of Cholesky decomposition. Although this method could ensure the positive definiteness of the covariance matrix in the filtering process, the results obtained by SVD only formally meet the requirements of the square root, and there is no obvious improvement in the accuracy of the covariance matrix in the filtering process.…”

“…If the state vector is arranged as (17) and the mathematical model of the LEO satellite's rotational motion about its centre of mass is linearized using quasi-linearization method, we can consider a real-time linear Taylor approximation of the system function at the previous state estimate. The Kalman Filter obtained will be called the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).…”

“…The authors considered the non‐diagonal elements of the covariance matrix of the SVD to be small compared to the diagonal elements. Therefore, the non‐diagonal elements are neglected, and the error covariance matrix considered diagonally . In this study, an SVD‐aided EKF method using UD factorization is considered as an extended version of .…”

“…This makes reasonable the choice for using it in conjunction with the Euler angles coordinate system and the shifted frame of reference method of [19]. An attempt towards this direction can be found in [14]. On the other hand, when the quaternion representation is used, the UKF in a standard format cannot be implemented straightforwardly.…”
