Outlier-Robust Nonlinear Moving Horizon Estimation using Adaptive Loss Functions
About
In this work, we propose an adaptive robust loss function framework for MHE, integrating an adaptive robust loss function to reduce the impact of outliers with a regularization term that avoids naive solutions. The proposed approach prioritizes the fitting of uncontaminated data and downweights the contaminated ones. A tuning parameter is incorporated into the framework to control the shape of the loss function for adjusting the estimator's robustness to outliers. The simulation results demonstrate that adaptation occurs in just a few iterations, whereas the traditional behaviour $\mathrm{L_2}$ predominates when the measurements are free of outliers.
