The Level Set Kalman Filter for State Estimation of Continuous-discrete Systems
We propose a new extension of Kalman filtering for continuous-discrete systems with nonlinear state-space models that we name as the level set Kalman filter (LSKF). The LSKF assumes the probability distribution can be approximated as a Gaussian, and updates the Gaussian distribution through a time-update step and a measurement-update step. The LSKF improves the time-update step when compared to existing methods, such as the continuous-discrete cubature Kalman filter (CD-CKF) by reformulating the underlying Fokker-Planck equation as an ordinary differential equation for the Gaussian, thereby avoiding expansion in time. Together with a carefully picked measurement-update method, numerical experiments show that the LSKF has a consistent performance improvement over CD-CKF for a range of parameters, while also simplifies the implementation, as no user-defined timestep subdivision between measurements is required, and the spatial derivatives of the drift function are not explicitly needed.

Simultaneous State and Unknown Input Estimation for Continuous-discrete Stochastic Systems
This paper considers the simultaneous state and unknown input estimation for continuous-discrete stochastic systems. Two types of approaches (with and without modeling of unknown inputs) which can address this issue are …
