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 into consideration with small weight and the estimation errors are corrected without affecting the good estimation characteristic of the remaining process. Adaptive Kalman Filter algorithm is tested by simulations for the implementation in the navigation system of an UAV platform. The filter performance has been evaluated for different kinds of measurement malfunctions. © 2009 IFAC.

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...
Residual based Adaptive Unscented Kalman filter for satellite attitude estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (2012-12-01) Determining the process noise covariance matrix in Kalman filtering applications is a difficult task especially for estimation problems of the high-dimensional states where states like biases or system parameters are included. This study introduces a simplistic residual based adaptation method for the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), which is used for small satellite attitude estimation. For a satellite with gyros and magnetometers onboard, the proposed adaptive UKF algorithm estimates the attitude as well as...
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 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 Unscented Kalman Filter with Multiple Fading Factors for Pico Satellite Attitude Estimation Söken, Halil Ersin (2009-01-01) 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 model...
