Abstract

The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) has become an alternative in nonlinear estimation problems to overcome the limitation of Taylor series linearization used by the extended Kalman filter (EKF). It uses a deterministic sampling approach known as sigma points to propagate nonlinear systems and has been discussed in many literature. However, a nonlinear smoothing problem has received less attention than the filtering problem. Therefore, in this article we examine an unscented smoother based on Rauch-Tung-Striebel form for discrete-time dynamic systems. This smoother has advantages available in unscented transformation over approximation by Taylor expansion as well as its benefit in derivative free. This smoothing technique has been implemented and evaluated through a bearing-only localization problem.
