Batch nonlinear continuous-time trajectory estimation as exactly sparse Gaussian process regression
In this paper, we revisit batch state estimation through the lens of Gaussian process (GP) regression. We consider continuous-discrete estimation problems wherein a trajectory is viewed as a one-dimensional GP, with time as the independent variable. Our continuous-time prior can be defined by any nonlinear, time-varying stochastic differential equation driven by white noise; this allows the pos...

متن کاملAdvances in Derivative-Free State Estimation for Nonlinear Systems
In this paper we show that it has considerable advantages to use polynomial approximations obtained with an interpolation formula for derivation of state estimators for nonlinear systems. The estimators become more accurate than estimators based on Taylor approximations; yet the implementation is signi cantly simpler as no derivatives are required. Thus, it is believed that estimators derived i...
متن کاملVariational Inference for Sparse Spectrum Approximation in Gaussian Process Regression
Standard sparse pseudo-input approximations to the Gaussian process (GP) cannot handle complex functions well. Sparse spectrum alternatives attempt to answer this but are known to over-fit. We suggest the use of variational inference for the sparse spectrum approximation to avoid both issues. We model the covariance function with a finite Fourier series approximation and treat it as a random va...
متن کاملSparse Variational Inference for Generalized Gaussian Process Models
Gaussian processes (GP) provide an attractive machine learning model due to their nonparametric form, their flexibility to capture many types of observation data, and their generic inference procedures. Sparse GP inference algorithms address the cubic complexity of GPs by focusing on a small set of pseudo-samples. To date, such approaches have focused on the simple case of Gaussian observation ...
