Kalman Filtering with Equality and Inequality State Constraints

Nachi Gupta and Raphael Hauser

Abstract

Both constrained and unconstrained optimization problems regularly appear in recursive tracking problems engineers currently address - however, constraints are rarely exploited for these applications. We define the Kalman Filter and discuss two different approaches to incorporating constraints. Each of these approaches are first applied to equality constraints and then extended to inequality constraints. We discuss methods for dealing with nonlinear constraints and for constraining the state prediction. Finally, some experiments are provided to indicate the usefulness of such methods.
