Abstract

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) is the most popular tool for state estimation of nonlinear stochastic systems. The conventional EKF can be refined via iterative re-linearization, leading to the so-called iterative EKF (IEKF). The performance of either EKF or IEKF will deteriorate in the presence of outliers. In this article, an outlier-resilient IEKF method is proposed using a more robust cost function, the correntropy, to replace the traditional mean squared error criterion. An iterative procedure is derived to maximize the correntropy criterion in a similar way to the Gauss–Newton optimization. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method as compared to the existing methods.
