PERFORMANCE MEASURES OF THE VARIABLE STRUCTURE FILTER

A new method for state estimation, referred to as the Variable Structure Filter (VSF), has recently been proposed. The VSF is a model based predictor-corrector method. It uses an internal model to provide an initial estimate of the states and subsequently refines this initial estimate by a corrective term that is a function of the system output and the upper bound of uncertainties. As such, the VSF can explicitly cater for uncertainties in its …
