Abstract

For multi-sensor systems with uncertainties of noise variances, a local robust steady-state Kalman filter with conservative upper bounds of unknown noise variances is presented. Based on the Lyapunov equation, its robustness is proved. Further, the covariance intersection (CI) fusion robust steady-state Kalman filter is presented. It is proved that its robust accuracy is higher than that of each local robust Kalman filter. A Monte-Carlo simulation example shows its correctness and effectiveness.
