Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of outlier-resistant distributed fusion filtering (DFF) for a class of multi-sensor nonlinear singular systems (MSNSSs) under a dynamic event-triggered scheme (DETS). To relieve the effect of measurement outliers in data transmission, a self-adaptive saturation function is used. Moreover, to further reduce the energy consumption of each sensor node and improve the efficiency of resource utilization, a DETS is adopted to regulate the frequency of data transmission. For the addressed MSNSSs, our purpose is to construct the local outlier-resistant filter under the effects of the measurement outliers and the DETS; the local upper bound (UB) on the filtering error covariance (FEC) is derived by solving the difference equations and minimized by designing proper filter gains. Furthermore, according to the local filters and their UBs, a DFF algorithm is presented in terms of the inverse covariance intersection fusion rule. As such, the proposed DFF algorithm has the advantages of reducing the frequency of data transmission and the impact of measurement outliers, thereby improving the estimation performance. Moreover, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error is discussed and a corresponding sufficient condition is presented. Finally, the validity of the developed algorithm is checked using a simulation example.
