contents Most Kalman filters for non-linear systems, such as the unscented Kalman filter, are based on Gaussian approximations. We use Poincaré inequalities to bound the Wasserstein distance between the true joint distribution of the prediction and measurement and its Gaussian approximation. The bounds can be used to assess the performance of non-linear Gaussian filters and determine those filtering approximations that are most likely to induce error.
