Depth of SWASH(Small Waterplane Area Single Hull) vessel which is an input value of its control system is measured by ultrasonic sensor. Distance to the its center of gravity can be simply calculated through ultrasonic sensor attached to the front of the vessel from the known values. However, it is to be calibrated with respect to its position for the accurate depth because it has geometric relation between the measurement value of ultrasonic sensor and the depth. In this research, depth calibration method of SWASH vessel using its position and ultrasonic sensor is introduced.

무선 센서 네트워크는 센서들을 무선으로 연결하여 데이터 교환을 통해 다양한 환경에서 정보를 수집할 수 있도록 하는 유용한 도구이다. 센서노드 간의 통신은 센서노드의 제한된 에너지를 효율적으로 이용하도록 만들어져야만 한다. 클러스터링에 기반한 계층적 라우팅 기법은 클러스터 내의 노드들은 클러스터헤드와만 통신을 하게하고 클러스터헤드가 한꺼번에 싱크에게 통합된 정보를 보내게 하여 에너지를 절약하는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 클러스터링 기반의 라우팅에서 에너지 효율을 높이기 위해 싱크와 클러스터헤드 사이의 거리에 따른 최적 클러스터 크기를 계산하고, 원형의 전체 토폴로지에서 계산된 값과 일치됨을 확인해 보았다.

센서를 인간의 오감에 비유한다면 가속도센서는 시각, 청각, 촉각, 미각, 후각 중에서 어떤 감각기관인가\ulcorner 먼저 시각을 쉽게 생각할 수 있다. 시각기능은 거리, 위치, 형상에 민감하다. 그러나 이들의 시간에 다른 변화 즉 1차 미분량인 속도에는 어느정도 정성적으로 감응하나 2차 미분량인 가속도는 시각으로 판단하기 어렵다. 활강하는 스키선수나 써커스의 공중곡예가 시각에만 의존한다고 볼 수 없으며 이러한 로봇(robot)을 만든다고 할 때 가속도 센서의 중요성은 상상 할 수 있을 것이다. 움직이는 모든 시스템의 동적특성을 제어하기 위해 정교한 가속도센서는 필수적이다.

We detect the obstacle for the UGV(unmanned ground vehicle) from the compound image which is generated by stereo vision sensor masking the depth image and color image. Stereo vision sensor can gathers the distance information by stereo camera. The obstacle information from the depth compound image can be send to mobile robot and the robot can localize the indoor area. And, we test the performance of the mobile robot in terms of distance between the obstacle and the robot's position and also test the color, depth and compound image respectively. Moreover, we test the performance in terms of number of frame per second which is processed by operating machine. From the result, compound image shows the improved performance in distance and number of frames.

Map Matching is the method for correcting the current position from dead reckoning in Car Navigation System. In this paper, we proposed the new map matching algorithm that can correct the positioning error caused by sensors and digital map data around the cross road area. To do this, first we set the error boundary of the cross road area by combining the relative error of moving distance and the absolute error of road length, second, we find out the starting point of turning within the determined error boundary of the cross point area, third, we compare the turning angle of the car to the angle of each possible road, and the last, we decide the matched road. We used wheel sensor as a speed sensor and used optical fiber gyro as a directional sensor, and assembled the sensors to the notebook computer. We testified our algorithm by driving the Daejeon area-which is a part of south Korea-as a test area. And we proved the efficiency by doing that.

This paper proposes a transmitted power saving method for underwater acoustic sensors considering the acoustic wave propagation characteristic that propagation loss increases more rapidly in higher frequency band. In the proposed scheme, sensor nodes are divided into a few groups based on the distance between sink node and the sensor node, and each group uses its own frequency band. The node group with longer distance uses lower frequency and the node group with shorter distance uses higher frequency. By means of such a distance-dependent frequency allocation, all sensor nodes are able to maintain a certain target signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but also save transmitted power. In addition, the optimum size of node group is obtained, and also a frequency allocation algorithm is proposed accordingly. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme saves transmitted power by more 10 dB comparing non-grouping methods.

Most space-borne optical scanning systems adopt linear arrayconfigurations. The well-knownthree different types of space-borne sensors arealong-track line scanner, across-track linescanner, and three line scanner. To acquire accurate location information of an object on the ground withthose sensors, the exterior and interior orientation parameters are critical factors for both of space-borne and airborne missions. Since the imaging geometry of sensors mightchange time to time due to thermal influence, vibration, and wind, it is very important to analyze the Interior Orientation Parameters (IOP) effects on the ground. The experiments based on synthetic datasets arecarried out while the focal length biases are changing. Also, both high and low altitudes of the imagingsensor were applied. In case with the along-track line scanner, the focal length bias caused errors along the scanline direction. In the other case with the across-track one, the focal length bias caused errors alongthe scan line and vertical directions. Lastly, vertical errors were observed in the case ofthree-line scanner. Those results from this study will be able to provide the guideline for developing new linearsensors, so as for improving the accuracy of laboratory or in-flight sensor calibrations.

Nowadays with advancement in technology and aging society, the number of disabled citizens is increasing. The disabled citizens always need a caretaker for daily life routines especially for mobility. In future, the need is considered to increase more. To reduce the burden from the disabled, various devices for healthcare are introduced using computer technology. The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path. User has a handheld bio-sensor monitoring system for get user's bio-signal. If user detects unusual signal, alarm send to protector.

본 논문에서는 병실의 침대 위에서 움직임으로 침대 밖으로 떨어지는 것을 방지하기 위한 환자감시 시스템인 낙상 방지 시스템을 제안한다. 환자는 휴식을 취하거나 각종 처치를 위하여 침대에 머무르게 된다. 이 과정에서 대부분의 환자들은 기력이 낮아지고 자기 신체에 대한 제어 능력이 낮아져 침대의 바깥쪽으로 움직이는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파를 이용한 환자까지의 거리 맵을 생성한 다음 거리 맵을 기반으로 환자의 위치를 추정하였다. 경과 측정거리는 10mm 이내로 측정이 가능하였고, 기존의 방식과 비교하여 내구성과 활용성이 우수하였다.
