Abstract

The traditional Kalman filter is developed based on the Gaussian assumption, and the filtering effect of the traditional Kalman filter will be significantly degraded when the noise is non-Gaussian distributed. The minimum error entropy (MEE) can resist the effect of non-Gaussian noise on the system. The estimation performance of the MEE-based filtering algorithm is impacted by the kernel bandwidth (KB). This work presents an Improved MEE unscented Kalman filter (IMEE-UKF) to solve the above problem. The simulation results indicate that the algorithm outperforms existing filtering methods in the case of non-Gaussian disturbances.
