Abstract
For multisensor network systems with unknown cross-covariances, a novel multi-level parallel covariance intersection (PCI) fusion Kalman filter is presented in this paper, which is realized by the multi-level parallel two-sensor covariance intersection (CI) fusers, so it only requires to solve the optimization problems of several one-dimensional nonlinear cost functions in parallel with loss computation burden. It can significantly reduce the computation time and increase data processing rate when the number of sensors is very large. It is proved that the PCI fuser is consistent, and its accuracy is higher than that of each local filter and is lower than that of the optimal Kalman fuser weighted by matrices. The geometric interpretation of accuracy relations based on the covariance ellipses is given. A simulation example for tracking systems verifies the accuracy relations.
