Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of navigation of ships, airplanes, vehicles and the like, and in particular relates to a target tracking method with colored measurement noise and variational Bayesian adaptive Kalman filtering. Background technique [0002] The Kalman filter has been widely used in many engineering applications, where the Kalman filter assumes that the noise covariance matrix is ​​known exactly. However, in many applications with imprecise noise covariance matrices, the performance of the Kalman filter may degrade. Adaptive Kalman filter based on variational Bayesian is an excellent solution to this problem. By choosing an appropriate conjugate prior distribution, the existing variational Bayesian adaptive Kalman filter jointly estimates the state vector, the imprecise and slowly changing system noise covariance matrix and the measurement noise covariance matrix. Since existing variational Bayesian-based adaptive Kalman f...

By choosing an appropriate conjugate prior distribution, the existing variational Bayesian adaptive Kalman filter jointly estimates the state vector, the imprecise and slowly changing system noise covariance matrix and the measurement noise covariance matrix

Since existing variational Bayesian-based adaptive Kalman filters are specifically designed for white measurement noise, the performance of existing methods may degrade for colored measurement noise

[0003] Although the problem with colored measurement noise and imprecise system noise covariance matrices and measurement noise covariance matrices can be transformed into a system noise covariance matrix with one-step delay state and imprecise quantities using existing measurement-difference methods The problem of measuring the noise covariance matrix...
