Kalman Filter Auto-Tuning With Consistent and Robust Bayesian Optimization

New cost functions are developed to determine if an estimator has been tuned correctly and the new metrics are combined with a student-t processes Bayesian optimization to achieve robust estimator performance for time discretized state space models.

Noise Estimation Is Not Optimal: How To Use Kalman Filter The Right Way

A simple parameterization is used to apply gradient-based optimization to apply gradient-based optimization to the symmetric and positive-definite parameters of Kalman Filter, and it is shown that the optimization improves both the accuracy of KF and its robustness to design decisions.

Using Kalman Filter The Right Way: Noise Estimation Is Not Optimal

It is shown that even a seemingly small violation of KF assumptions can significantly modify the effective noise, breaking the equivalence between the tasks and making noise estimation a highly sub-optimal strategy.

Simulator-in-the-loop state estimation for vehicle dynamics control: theory and experiments

A simulator-in-the-loop scheme is proposed, where the ad-hoc model is replaced by an accurate multibody simulator of the vehicle, typically available to vehicles manufacturers and suitable for the estimation of any on-board variable, coupled with a compensator within a closed-loop observer scheme.

The filter tuning problem for a system processing simulated data is formulated as a numerical optimization problem by defining a performance index based on state estimate errors and the resulting performance index is minimized using the downhill simplex algorithm.

Bayesian Optimization using Student-t Processes

It is shown that a Student-t process is an ideal prior for such a problem, as it is also nonparametric, but naturally models heavy tailed behaviour and has a predictive covariance which explicitly depends on observations.

Bayesian Optimization with Inequality Constraints

This work presents constrained Bayesian optimization, which places a prior distribution on both the objective and the constraint functions, and evaluates this method on simulated and real data, demonstrating that constrainedBayesian optimization can quickly find optimal and feasible points, even when small feasible regions cause standard methods to fail.
