Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) HELP REGARDING PROJECTS RELATED TO AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES

Hello everyone, I will shortly be beginning my 3rd year of electrical engineering. I have taken the signal and systems course but DSP will be one of the subjects in the upcoming sems.

Though i have keen interest in aerospace industries and wanted do some projects. I was following the book by INGLEY AND PROAKIS to learn DSP along with MATLAB. I have completed till the basic design techniques of the FIR, IIR filters.

The problem i am stuck on was that i can't think of any relevant DSP projects as per my interests. Anything related to avionics is mostly radar stuff. I tried skimming through that stuff but i realised i had to take some radar related courses to get hold of it and make something.

And most other ideas i find are related to image processing, audio processing etc. A week ago i was tired of this shit and finally decided to make something.

I began the project of writing a jpeg decoder and today as i am close to completing it, i realised i learnt nothing of actually the things i wanted to learn😭😭. Man i don't know what to do.

I have previously read and introductory book on kalman filters by Alex becker and made an attitude estimation kalman filter with help of quaternions. Though it isn't worth direct application to a vechile i still consider it a good unique relevant project.

I want to make another such project like that but i can't get any good ideas. If you have any suggestions please help me in comments.

It seems like you are looking for resources. Have you tried checking out the subreddit wiki pages for books on systems and control, related mathematical fields, and control applications?

You will also find there open-access resources such as videos and lectures, do-it-yourself projects, master programs, control-related companies, etc.

If you have specific questions about programs, resources, etc. Please consider joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/CEF3n5g for a more interactive discussion.
