Title
Analysis of Kalman Filter Approximations for Nonlinear Measurements
Abstract
theoretical analysis is presented of the correction step of the Kalman filter (KF) and its various approximations for the case of a nonlinear measurement equation with additive Gaussian noise. The KF is based on a Gaussian approximation to the joint density of the state and the measurement. The analysis metric is the Kullback-Leibler divergence of this approximation from the true joint density. The purpose of the analysis is to provide a quantitative tool for understanding and assessing the performance of the KF and its variants in nonlinear scenarios. This is illustrated using a numerical example.
