Abstract

This paper considers sigma point Kalman filtering on matrix Lie groups. Sigma points that are elements of a matrix Lie group are generated using the matrix exponential. Computing the mean and covariance using the sigma points via weighted averaging and effective use of the matrix natural logarithm, respectively, is discussed. The specific details of estimating landmark locations, and the position and attitude of a vehicle relative to the estimated landmark locations, is considered.
