Motivated by the rapid progress of aerospace and robotics engineering, the navigation and control systems on matrix Lie groups have been actively studied in recent years. For rigid targets, the attitude estimation problem is a benchmark one with its states defined as rotation matrices on Lie groups. Based on the invariance properties of symmetry groups, the invariant Kalman filter (IKF) has been developed by researchers for matrix Lie group systems; however, the limitation of the IKF is that its estimation performance is prone to be degraded if the given knowledge of the noise statistics is not accurate. For the symmetry Lie group attitude estimation problem, this paper proposes a new variational Bayesian iteration-based adaptive invariant Kalman filter (VBIKF). In the proposed VBIKF, the a priori error covariance is not propagated by the conventional steps but directly calibrated in an iterative manner based on the posterior sequences. The main advantage of the VBIKF is that the statistics parameter of the system process noise is no longer required and so the IKF’s hard dependency on accurate process noise statistics can be reduced significantly. The mathematical foundation for the new VBIKF is presented and its superior performance in adaptability and simplicity is further demonstrated by numerical simulations.
