Title
Correntropy Based Divided Difference Filtering for the Positioning of Ships.
Abstract
In this paper, robust first and second-order divided difference filtering algorithms based on correntropy are proposed, which not only retain the advantages of divided difference filters, but also exhibit robustness in the presence of non-Gaussian noises, especially when the measurements are contaminated by heavy-tailed noises. The proposed filters are then applied to the problem of ship positioning. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of ship positioning, the positioning method combines the Dead Reckoning (DR) algorithm and the Global Positioning System (GPS). Experimental results of an illustrative example show the superior performance of the new algorithms when applied to ship positioning.
