Abstract
En 中文
We consider a challenging scenario in this research, where the sensors may receive spurious sensor data, potentially causing inconsistent state estimates. Covariance union (CU) is a fault-tolerant algorithm that can deal with inconsistent state estimation fusion. However, existing CU algorithms suffer from high computational costs due to optimizing nonlinear cost functions when generating fusion weights. To overcome this deficiency, an efficient CU algorithm named fast covariance union (FCU) is developed. We have proved that the fusion weight of FCU can be optimally generated by a closed-form algorithm without optimizing any nonlinear cost function, leading to better fusion efficiency. In addition, the FCU algorithm ensures the fused estimate be consistent as long as one of the estimates is consistent. Finally, the Monte Carlo simulation results show that the FCU algorithm has higher computational efficiency than the existing CU algorithms and handles the spurious sensor data fusion effectively.
