Abstract

The Kalman filter (KF) and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) are well established techniques for state estimation. However, the choice of the filter tuning parameters still poses a major challenge for the engineers [1]. In the present work, two new costs have been proposed for determining the filter tuning parameters on the basis of the innovation covariance. This provides a cost function based method for the selection of suitable combination(s) of filter tuning parameters in order to ensure the design of a KF or an EKF having an optimally balanced RMSE performance.
