A new method for the nonlinear transformation of means and covariances in filters and estimators

TLDR
A new approach for generalizing the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems is described, which yields a filter that is more accurate than an extendedKalman filter (EKF) and easier to implement than an EKF or a Gauss second-order filter.
Abstract
This paper describes a new approach for generalizing the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems. A set of samples are used to parametrize the mean and covariance of a (not necessarily Gaussian) probability distribution. The method yields a filter that is more accurate than an extended Kalman filter (EKF) and easier to implement than an EKF or a Gauss second-order filter. Its effectiveness is demonstrated using an example.

Unscented filtering and nonlinear estimation

TL;DR: The motivation, development, use, and implications of the UT are reviewed, which show it to be more accurate, easier to implement, and uses the same order of calculations as linearization.

Cubature Kalman Filters

TL;DR: A third-degree spherical-radial cubature rule is derived that provides a set of cubature points scaling linearly with the state-vector dimension that may provide a systematic solution for high-dimensional nonlinear filtering problems.

Bayesian Filtering and Smoothing

Simo Särkkä
TL;DR: This compact, informal introduction for graduate students and advanced undergraduates presents the current state-of-the-art filtering and smoothing methods in a unified Bayesian framework and learns what non-linear Kalman filters and particle filters are, how they are related, and their relative advantages and disadvantages.

The scaled unscented transformation

Simon Julier
TL;DR: In this article, a generalisation of the unscented transformation (UT) which allows sigma points to be scaled to an arbitrary dimension is described. But the scaling issues are illustrated by considering conversions from polar to Cartesian coordinates with large angular uncertainties.

Novel approach to nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian state estimation

TL;DR: An algorithm, the bootstrap filter, is proposed for implementing recursive Bayesian filters, represented as a set of random samples, which are updated and propagated by the algorithm.

New extension of the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems

TL;DR: It is argued that the ease of implementation and more accurate estimation features of the new filter recommend its use over the EKF in virtually all applications.

A new approach for filtering nonlinear systems

TL;DR: A new recursive linear estimator for filtering systems with nonlinear process and observation models which can be transformed directly by the system equations to give predictions of the transformed mean and covariance is described.
