Equivariant Filters are Equivariant
Observers for systems with Lie group symmetries are an active area of research that is seeing significant impact in a number of practical domains, including aerospace, robotics, and mechatronics. This paper builds on the theory of the recently proposed Equivariant Filter (EqF), which is a general observer design for systems on homogeneous spaces that takes advantage of symmetries to yield significant performance advantages. It is shown that the EqF error dynamics are invariant to transformation of the input signal and equivariant as a parametrised vector field. The main theorem shows that two EqF's with different choices of local coordinates and origins and with equivalent noise modelling yield identical performance. In other words, the EqF is intrinsic to the system equations and symmetry. This is verified in a simulation of a 2D robot localisation problem, which also shows how the ability to choose an origin for the EqF can yield practical performance advantages by mitigating floating point precision errors.
