/**
 * Implementation of an Unscented Semi-analytical Kalman filter (USKF) to perform orbit determination.
 * <p>
 * The filter uses a {@link DSSTPropagatorBuilder}.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The estimated parameters are driven by {@link ParameterDriver} objects. They are of 3 different types:<ol>
 *   <li><b>Orbital parameters</b>:The position and velocity of the spacecraft, or, more generally, its orbit.<br>
 *       These parameters are retrieved from the reference trajectory propagator builder when the filter is initialized.</li>
 *   <li><b>Propagation parameters</b>: Some parameters modeling physical processes (SRP or drag coefficients etc...).<br>
 *       They are also retrieved from the propagator builder during the initialization phase.</li>
 *   <li><b>Measurements parameters</b>: Parameters related to measurements (station biases, positions etc...).<br>
 *       They are passed down to the filter in its constructor.</li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * The Kalman filter implementation used is provided by the underlying mathematical library Hipparchus.
 * All the variables seen by Hipparchus (states, covariances...) are normalized
 * using a specific scale for each estimated parameters or standard deviation noise for each measurement components.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>An {@link SemiAnalyticalUnscentedKalmanEstimator} object is built using the {@link SemiAnalyticalUnscentedKalmanEstimatorBuilder#build() build}
 * method of a {@link SemiAnalyticalUnscentedKalmanEstimatorBuilder}.</p>
