Output outlier robust state estimation

Abstract

This work addresses state estimation in presence of outliers in observed data. Outlying data and measure- ments have a most relevant impact in many control and signal processing applications including marine systems related ones: underwater navigation systems exploiting acoustic data, for example, are frequently affected by outlying measurements. Other on-board sensors and devices are likely to produce measurements contaminated by outlier because of the harsh operating conditions of marine systems. Given the general interest for dealing with measurement outliers in a number of applications, this paper describes a state esti- mation solution exhibiting robustness to output outliers. The system model is assumed to be linear (either time varying or time invariant) discrete time. The proposed observer is designed by extending an outlier robust static parameter identification algorithm to the case of a linear dynamic plant. The designed estimator has a predictor/corrector structure like the Kalman filter and the Luenberger observer. Simulation and exper- imental results are provided illustrating the robustness of the derived solution to measurement outliers as compared with the Kalman filter. The proposed solution is also compared with alternative outlier robust state estimation filters showing its effectiveness, in particular, in the presence of measurements outliers occurring in a consecutive sequence. Because of its deterministic execution time and limited numerical complexity, the proposed state estimator can be readily applied in real-time applications.
