Abstract

To improve the ability of dealing with inaccurate of model and statistic characteristics of noise, as well as the abrupt change of state of cubature Kalman filter (CKF), a new nonlinear filter, called Cubature Kalman Filter based on strong tracking (CKF-ST), is proposed in this paper. Inspired by the idea of strong tracking, a time-variant factor is introduced into the recursive process of cubature Kalman filter such that the filter gain can be updated along with the measured values, thus endowing CKF-ST powerful ability to deal with abrupt changes of state. Meanwhile, such merits of CKF as high accuracy and being easy to implement can be entirely preserved in CKF-ST. Simulation results on one classical examples demonstrate that CKF-ST is overall superior to CKF and other filters involved, especially when target motion changes suddenly.
