Abstract
En 中文
The maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) based Kalman filter (KF) enhances estimation robustness against non-Gaussian noise, but its Gaussian kernel suffers from limited suppression of heavy-tailed noise/outliers and high sensitivity to kernel bandwidth. To address these issues, this letter proposes an improved multisensor Gaussian-Cauchy kernel-based maximum correntropy KF (GCMCKF) with adaptive kernel bandwidth. Unlike the MCC-based KF which requires a fixed-point iteration, the proposed GCMCKF is derived directly into a KF-like form. It utilizes the measurement residuals and state prediction errors to construct a Gaussian-Cauchy kernel cost function, balancing small-error accuracy with large-error robustness. Furthermore, a dual-channel kernel bandwidth update strategy is introduced, which uses a sliding window to adjust the two kernel bandwidths independently. Simulation results for bearing-only target tracking demonstrate the proposed algorithm achieves superior performance in non-Gaussian noise.
