Abstract
The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is a commonly used algorithm capable of estimating the states of nonlinear dynamic systems. It carefully chooses a set of sample points, called sigma points that capture the nonlinear system states posterior mean and covariance. The filter is based on the scaled unscented transform, where the scaling parameters impact the spreading of the sigma points, determining the estimated model capturing. In its current form, the UKF employs a single set of scaling parameters shared by all sigma points. Because states in multi-dimensional models often exhibit substantially different behaviors, this imposes a critical limitation: the standard UKF parameters cannot be tuned to extend the spread for one dimension while reducing it for another. To bridge this gap, we propose the multi-scaled UKF to enable spreading differently per state, while maintaining the key…
