Abstract
An improved adaptive variational Bayesian cubature information fusion algorithm for nonlinear multi-sensor systems with uncertain noise statistics is proposed in this paper. Aiming to estimate uncertain process and measurement noise covariances in nonlinear systems, the variational Bayesian theory is combined with the inverse Wishart distribution. System states and uncertain noise covariances are jointly estimated for nonlinear systems by means of cubature sampling, deriving the variational Bayesian cubature Kalman filter (VBCKF-QR). In addition, a variational Bayesian Cubature Information filter (VBCIF-QR) is proposed, and a distributed information feedback fusion algorithm is also derived for multi-sensor systems with unknown noise statistics. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed VBCKF-QR/VBCIF-QR outperform conventional cubature Kalman/information filters.
