ADCS - Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control provides a complete introduction to spacecraft control. The book covers all elements of attitude control system design, including kinematics, dynamics, orbits, disturbances, actuators, sensors, and mission operations. Essential hardware details are provided for star cameras, reaction wheels, sun sensors, and other key components. The book explores how to design a control system for a spacecraft, control theory, and actuator and sensor details. Examples are drawn from the author's 40 years of industrial experience with spacecraft such as GGS, GPS IIR, Mars Observer, and commercial communications satellites, and includes historical background and real-life examples. - Features critical details on hardware and the space environment - Combines theory and ready-to-implement practical algorithms - Includes MATLAB code for all examples - Provides plots and figures generated with the included code
A comprehensive reference book that addresses the field of machine vision and its significance in cyber-physical systems. It explores the multidisciplinary nature of machine vision, involving electronic and mechatronic devices, artificial intelligence algorithms, embedded systems, control systems, robotics, interconnectivity, data science, and cloud computing. The book aims to provide advanced students, early career researchers, and established scholars with state-of-the-art knowledge and novel content related to the implementation of machine vision in engineering, scientific knowledge, and technological innovation. The chapters of the book delve into various topics and applications within t...
This book is a comprehensive guide to machine learning with worked examples in MATLAB. It starts with an overview of the history of Artificial Intelligence and automatic control and how the field of machine learning grew from these. It provides descriptions of all major areas in machine learning. The book reviews commercially available packages for machine learning and shows how they fit into the field. The book then shows how MATLAB can be used to solve machine learning problems and how MATLAB graphics can enhance the programmer’s understanding of the results and help users of their software grasp the results. Machine Learning can be very mathematical. The mathematics for each area is int...

A unique, wide-ranging examination of asteroid exploration and our future in space Human travel into space is an enormously expensive and unforgiving endeavor. So why go? In this accessible and authoritative book, astrophysicist Martin Elvis argues that the answer is asteroid exploration, for the strong motives of love, fear, and greed. Elvis's personal motivation is one of scientific love--asteroid investigations may teach us about the composition of the solar system and the origins of life. A more compelling reason may be fear--of a dinosaur killer-sized asteroid hitting our planet. Finally, Elvis maintains, we should consider greed: asteroids likely hold vast riches, such as large platinum deposits, and mining them could provide both a new industry and a funding source for bolder space exploration. Elvis explains how each motive can be satisfied, and how they help one another. From the origins of life, to "space billiards," and space sports, Elvis looks at how asteroids may be used in the not-so-distant future.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed papers presented at five international workshops held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2007, in Vienna, Austria, in September 2007. The five workshops were selected out of eight submissions. The volume contains papers presented at the First International Workshop on Web APIs and Services Mashups (Mashups 2007), the Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and Service Level Agreements in Service-Oriented Computing (NFPSLA-SOC 2007), the 2nd International Workshop on Business-Oriented Aspects Concerning Semantics and Methodologies in Service-Oriented Computing (SeMSoC 2007), the First International Workshop on Telecom Service-Oriented Architectures (TSOA 2007) and the Third International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications (WESOA 2007). The papers offer a wide range of hot topics in service-oriented computing: development of mashups; management of non-functional properties and service level agreements; engineering approaches; semantic methodologies; and telecom services and service architectures.
Learn from state-of-the-art examples in robotics, motors, detection filters, chemical processes, aircraft, and spacecraft. This is a practical reference for industry engineers using MATLAB to solve everyday problems. With MATLAB Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach you will review contemporary MATLAB coding including the latest language features and use MATLAB as a software development environment including code organization, GUI development, and algorithm design and testing. This book provides practical guidance for using MATLAB to build a body of code you can turn to time and again for solving technical problems in your line of work. Develop algorithms, test them, visualize the results, and pass the code along to others to create a functional code base for your firm.
