Thus far, Kalman filter based attitude estimation algorithms have been used in many space applications. When the issue of pico satellite attitude estimation is taken into consideration, general linear approach to Kalman filter becomes insufficient and Extended Kalman Filters (EKF) are the types of filters, which are designed in order to overrun this problem. However, in case of attitude estimation of a pico satellite via magnetometer data, where the nonlinearity degree of both dynamics and measurement models are high, EKF may give inaccurate results. Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) that does not require linearization phase and so Jacobians can be preferred instead of EKF in such circumstances. Nonetheless, if the UKF is built with an adaptive manner, such that, faulty measurements do not affect attitude estimation process, accurate estimation results even in case of measurement malfunctions can be guaranteed. In this study an Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter with multiple fading factors based gain correction is introduced and tested on the attitude estimation system of a pico satellite by the use of simulations.

Robust Kalman filtering for small satellite attitude estimation in the presence of measurement faults Söken, Halil Ersin; Sakai, Shin-ichiro (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-01) In normal working conditions it is possible to achieve sufficient attitude estimation accuracy for a satellite using regular Kalman filter algorithm. On the other hand, when there is a fault in the measurements, the Kalman filter fails in providing the required accuracy and may even collapse over time. In this paper, a Robust Kalman filtering method is proposed for the attitude estimation problem. By using the proposed method both the Extended Kalman Filter and Unscented Kalman Filter are modified and the n...
Adaptive Kalman filter with multiple fading factors for UAV state estimation Hajiyev, Chingiz; Söken, Halil Ersin (2009-12-01) In general case, as an algorithm for estimating the parameters of a linear system, Kalman filter can be utilized without any problem. However, when there is a malfunction in the estimation system, the filter fails and the outputs become inaccurate. In this paper, an Adaptive Kalman Filter with multiple fading factors based gain correction for the case of malfunctions in the estimation system is presented. By the use of an adaptive matrix constituted of multiple fading factors, faulty measurements are taken ...
Adaptive Fading UKF with Q-Adaptation: Application to Picosatellite Attitude Estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-07-01) The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in the case of system uncertainty the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges in time. In other words, if any change occurs in the process noise covariance, which is known a priori, the filter fails. This study introduces a novel adaptive fading UKF algorithm based on the correction of process noise covariance...
Robust adaptive unscented Kalman filter for attitude estimation of pico satellites Hacızade, Cengiz; Söken, Halil Ersin (Wiley, 2014-02-01) Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a filtering algorithm that gives sufficiently good estimation results for the estimation problems of nonlinear systems even when high nonlinearity is in question. However, in case of system uncertainty or measurement malfunctions, the UKF becomes inaccurate and diverges by time. This study introduces a fault-tolerant attitude estimation algorithm for pico satellites. The algorithm uses a robust adaptive UKF, which performs correction for the process noise covariance (Q-adapt...
Robust Kalman filtering with single and multiple scale factors for small satellite attitude estimation Söken, Halil Ersin; Sakai, Shin-ichiro (Springer, 2015-11-01) In case of normal operational conditions for a satellite, a conventional Kalman Filter gives sufficiently good attitude estimation results. On the other hand, when there is a fault in the measurements then the Kalman filter fails about providing the required accuracy and may even collapse by time. In this paper, a Robust Kalman filtering method is proposed for the attitude estimation problem. By using the proposed method both the Extended Kalman Filter and Unscented Kalman Filter are modified ...
