ABSTRACT

An ideal self-study guide for practicing engineers as well as senior undergraduate and beginning graduate students, this book highlights the importance of both physical and numerical modeling in solving dynamics-based estimation problems found in engineering systems, such as spacecraft attitude determination, GPS navigation, orbit determination, and aircraft tracking. With more than 100 pages of new material, this reorganized and expanded edition incorporates new theoretical results, a new chapter on advanced sequential state estimation, and additional examples and exercises. MATLAB codes are available on the book's website.
