This paper is concerned with the distributed fusion estimation problem for multisensor nonlinear systems. Based on the Kalman filtering framework and the spherical cubature rule, a general method for calculating the cross‐covariance matrices between any two local estimators is presented for multisensor nonlinear systems. In the linear unbiased minimum variance sense, based on the cross‐covariance matrices, a distributed fusion cubature Kalman filter weighted by matrices (MW‐CKF) is presented. The proposed MW‐CKF has better accuracy and robustness. An example verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
