A robust fusion estimation with unknown cross-covariance in distributed systems

Abstract An efficient robust fusion estimation (RFE) for distributed fusion system without knowledge of the cross-covariances of sensor estimation errors is suggested. With the hypothesis that the object lying in the intersection of some ellipsoids related to sensor estimations, the robust fusion es...
