Spherical Simplex-Radial Cubature Quadrature Kalman Filter

A spherical simplex-radial cubature quadrature kalman filter (ssrcqkf) is proposed in order to further improve the nonlinear filtering accuracy. the gaussian probability weighted integral of the nonlinear function is decomposed into spherical integral and radial integral,which are approximated by spherical simplex cubature rule and arbitrary order gauss-laguerre quadrature rule,respectively,and the novel spherical simplex-radial cubature quadrature rule is obtained. combined with the bayesian filtering framework,the general form and the specific form of ssrcqkf are put forward,and the numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a higher filtering accuracy than ckf and ssrckf. © 2017 zhaoming li and wenge yang.
