How does an unscented Kalman filter work?
Summary: Kalman Filter: It is a tool to predict values using a bunch of mathematical equations under the assumptions that our data is in the form of Gaussian Distribution and we apply linear equations to that Gaussian distribution.
What is a unscented Kalman filter?
The unscented Kalman filter is a suboptimal non-linear filtration algorithm, however, in contrast to algorithms such as EKF or LKF, it uses an unscented transformation (UT) as an alternative to a linearization of non-linear equations with the use of Taylor series expansion.
Why is it called unscented Kalman filter?
The running joke is that the Unscented Kalman filter is called “Unscented” because the team that invented it felt the Extended filter's performance was “stinky” and prove a point they called the better performing one “Unscented”!
What is EKF and UKF?
The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) are derived from the KF. The EKF is the nonlinear version of the KF which linearizes about the mean and covariance, while the UKF is best known nonlinear estimates.
