This volume provides a platform for practicing researchers, academics, PhD students, and other scientists to design, analyze, evaluate, process, and implement diversiform issues of navigation systems, including life-improving advances in human navigation systems and advances improving machine navigation systems.

This book was written with the purpose of meeting this need of the aviation sector. Due to the diversified nature of aviation knowledge, which includes flying, engineering, airports, allied trades for aircraft and airports, airline and airport management and operations, education, etc., one text alone will not suffice and do justice to address all these areas. It is envisaged to develop subsequent parts of this book to cover all these knowledge areas. This book is useful to aviation managers, educators, students, and professionals interested in any of the above issues.

This volume is dedicated to the process of combining error-prone, heterogeneous, incomplete, and ambiguous data to gather a higher level of situational awareness.

Nonlinear signal and image processing methods are fast emerging as an alternative to established linear methods for meeting the challenges of increasingly sophisticated applications.

This book uses MATLAB as a computing tool to explore traditional DSP topics and solve problems. This greatly expands the range and complexity of problems that students can effectively study in signal processing courses. Practicing engineers may also find it useful as an introductory text on the subject.

This text is directed at the market of DSP users brought about by the development of powerful and inexpensive software tools to analyze signals.
