Event-Driven Maximum Correntropy Filter Based on Cauchy Kernel for Spatial Orientation Using Gyros/Star Sensor Integration

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gyros/star sensor integration provides a potential method to obtain high-accuracy spatial orientation for turntable structures. However, it is subjected to the problem of accuracy loss when the measurement noises become non-Gaussian due to the complex spatial environment. This paper presents an event-driven maximum correntropy filter based on Cauchy kernel to handle the above problem. In this method, a direct installation mode of gyros/star sensor integration is established and the associated mathematical model is derived to improve the turntable's control stability. Based on this, a Cauchy kernel-based maximum correntropy filter is developed to curb the influence of non-Gaussian measurement noise for enhancing the gyros/star sensor integration's robustness. Subsequently, an event-driven mechanism is constructed based on the filter's innovation information for further reducing the unnecessary computational cost to optimize the real-time performance. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated by simulations of the gyros/star sensor integration for spatial orientation. This shows that the proposed filtering methodology not only has strong robustness to deal with the influence of non-Gaussian measurement noise but can also achieve superior real-time spatial applications with a small computational cost, leading to enhanced performance for the turntable's spatial orientation using gyros/star sensor integration.
