Abstract
A method determines at least one system state of a system using a Kalman filter. At least one measured value, measured by at least one sensor of the system, is supplied to the Kalman filter. The method includes estimating the at least one system state using the Kalman filter. An estimation result and at least one associated item of information relating to a reliability of the estimation result are output. The method further includes determining a discrepancy between at least one model value associated with the estimation result and at least one measured value associated with the estimation result, and correcting the at least one associated item of information relating to the reliability of the estimation result using the determined discrepancy.

A method of using a Kalman filter to determine at least one system state of a system, the method comprising:
- supplying at least one measured value measured by at least one sensor of the system to the Kalman filter;
- estimating the at least one system state using the Kalman filter by outputting an estimation result and at least one associated item of information relating to a reliability of the estimation result;
- determining a discrepancy between at least one model value associated with the estimation result and at least one measured value associated with the estimation result;
- and
- correcting the at least one associated item of information relating to the reliability of the estimation result using the determined discrepancy.
A system for determining a position of a mobile object, comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- and
- a microcontroller operably connected to the at least one sensor and configured to use a Kalman filter to determine at least one system state of the system, the microcontroller configured to:
- supply at least one measured value measured by the at least one sensor to the Kalman filter,
- estimate the at least one system state using the Kalman filter by outputting an estimation result and at least one associated item of information relating to a reliability of the estimation result,
- determine a discrepancy between at least one model value associated with the estimation result and at least one measured value associated with the estimation result, and
- correct the at least one associated item of information relating to the reliability of the estimation result using the determined discrepancy.
