Description
Book SynopsisThis book is about radar tracking and the use of filters, particularly Kalman Filters. Tracking of moving targets, such as satellites, is complicated by the introduction of errors into the measurements resulting from noise and non-uniform vehicle motion. Such errors are smoothed out by filters.
