This paper presents a novel online adaptive method for estimating the process and measurement noise covariance matrices in Kalman filters (KFs) to address the challenge of varying noise characteristics in practical applications. Specifically, the proposed method decomposes the noise covariance matrix into an element distribution matrix and a noise intensity and employs an improved Sage filter to estimate the element distribution matrix. Additionally, a calibration and correction method is introduced to accurately determine and adaptively correct the online bias of the noise intensity. The unbi...
