Moving horizon estimation

Moving horizon estimation (MHE) is an optimization approach that uses a series of measurements observed over time, containing noise (random variations) and other inaccuracies, and produces estimates of unknown variables or parameters. Unlike deterministic approaches like the Kalman filter, MHE requires an iterative approach that relies on linear programming or nonlinear programming solvers to find a solution.[1]

MHE reduces to the Kalman filter under certain simplifying conditions.[2] A critical evaluation of the extended Kalman filter and MHE found improved performance of MHE with the only cost of improvement being the increased computational expense.[3] Because of the computational expense, MHE has generally been applied to systems where there are greater computational resources and moderate to slow system dynamics.
