Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for examining the correction of a system model in a Kalman filter (1), wherein the Kalman filter (1) is part of a filter network (2) for determining localization data in an automobile, and uses a first set (3) of sensor data to determine localization data. The method includes at least the following steps: a) a step of identifying the stationary state of the vehicle during operation using a stationary state identification unit (12), thereby generating a stationary state signal (13); b) a step of performing a calibration function on the parameters of the system model in the Kalman filter (1) during the stationary state, thereby identifying a corrected parameter (5); c) a step of performing an inspection of the corrected parameter (5) by comparing the corrected parameter (5) with a comparison parameter (6) when a stationary state signal (13) is present, wherein the comparison parameter (6) is identified by another data source (10), the other data source (10) creates the comparison parameter (6) using a second set (4) of sensor data, and the second set (4) of sensor data is reduced compared to a first set (3) of sensor data; and d) a step of performing an error function (7) if the inspection performed in step c) yields a negative result.
