Abstract
This paper investigates the nonlinear state estimation under heavy-tailed process and measurement noises (PAMNs), the noises may be induced by sensor failures, measurement loss, modeling errors, environmental changes, or malicious cyberattacks. Considering that the multivariate Laplacian (ML) distribution has obvious heavy-tailed characteristic, we employ the distribution to describe heavy-tailed PAMNs. Furthermore, to improve the computational efficiency of the existing variational Bayesian (VB) iteration process, we design an improved VB iteration method, which can separately calculate the posterior distributions of the state vector and unknown noise parameters. Employing the ML distribution and improved VB inference process, a computationally efficient robust cubature Kalman filter (CEMLRCKF) is derived. Simulation and vehicle experiment results illustrate the superiority of the proposed filter.
