Robust Cubature Kalman Filter For Sins/Gps Integrated Navigation Systems With Unknown Noise Statistics

to the vehicle's severe maneuver and abnormal measurements of GPS in practical applications, the statistic of process noise in SINS/GPS integrated navigation system may be unknown and the measurement noise may not follow the Gaussian distribution, which results in a deteriorated performance for the conventional cubature Kalman filter. To address this issue, we propose in this paper a new robust cubature Kalman filter based on the adaptive information entropy theory. In the proposed filter, the process uncertainty and non-Gaussian measurement noise are simultaneously suppressed based on a new constructed cost function using the maximum correntropy and residual orthogonal principle based weighted least squares technology, which is independent of noise distribution and more insensitive to the non-Gaussian noise. Moreover, a multiple-channel adaptive strategy for the better process uncertainty suppression is given. Furthermore, some improvements are proposed to avoid the numerical problem and implement the proposed robust filter effectively. Extensive simulation and car-mounted experiment demonstrate that the proposed filter can achieve higher estimation accuracy and better robustness as compared with the related state-of-the-art methods.
