This book introduces readers to the fundamentals of estimation and dynamical system theory, and their applications in the field of multi-source information fused autonomous navigation for spacecraft. The content is divided into two parts: theory and application. The theory part (Part I) covers the mathematical background of navigation algorithm design, including parameter and state estimate methods, linear fusion, centralized and distributed fusion, observability analysis, Monte Carlo technology, and linear covariance analysis. In turn, the application part (Part II) focuses on autonomous navigation algorithm design for different phases of deep space missions, which involves multiple sensors, such as inertial measurement units, optical image sensors, and pulsar detectors. By concentrating on the relationships between estimation theory and autonomous navigation systems for spacecraft, the book bridges the gap between theory and practice. A wealth of helpful formulas and various types of estimators are also included to help readers grasp basic estimation concepts and offer them a ready-reference guide.

The ICMEA2014 will provide an excellent international academic forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Mechanical Engineering and Automation. The ICMEA2014 is organized by Advanced Information Science Research Center (AISRC) and is co-sponsored by Chongqing University, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Huazong University of Science and Technology and China Three Gorges University. This ICMEA2014 proceedings tends to collect the up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-art knowledge on mechanical engineering and automation, including control theory and application, mechanic manufacturing system and automation, and Computer Science and applications. All of accepted papers were subjected to strict peer-reviewing by 2-4 expert referees. The papers have been selected for this volume because of quality and the relevance to the conference. We hope this book will not only provide the readers a broad overview of the latest research results, but also provide the readers a valuable summary and reference in these fields. ICMEA2014 organizing committee would like to express our sincere appreciations to all authors for their contributions to this book. We would like to extend our thanks to all the referees for their constructive comments on all papers; especially, we would like to thank to organizing committee for their hard working.
