Abstract
The performance of the current state estimation will degrade in the existence of slow-varying noise statistics. To solve the aforementioned issues, an improved strong tracking maximum correntropy criterion variational-Bayesian adaptive Kalman filter is presented in this paper. First of all, the inverse-Wishart distribution, as the conjugate-prior, is adopted to model the unknown and time-varying measurement and process noise covariances, then the noise covariances and system state are estimated via the variational Bayesian method. Secondly, the multiple fading-factors are obtained and evaluated to modify the prediction error covariance matrix to address the problems associated with inaccurate error estimation. Finally, the maximum correntropy criterion is employed to correct the filtering gain, which improves the filtering performance of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed filter exhibits better accuracy and convergence performance compared to other existing algorithms.
