Many localization schemes estimate the locations of radio nodes based on the physical locations of anchors and the connectivity from the anchors. Since they only consider the knowledge of the anchors without else other nodes, they are likely to have enormous error in location estimate unless the range information from the anchors is accurate or there are sufficiently many anchors. In this paper, we propose a novel localization algorithm with the location knowledge of anchors and even one-hop neighbors to localize unknown nodes in the uniform distance from all the one-hop neighbors without the range information. The node in the uniform distance to its all neighbors reduces the location error relative to the neighbors. It further alleviates the location error between its actual and estimated locations. We evaluate our algorithm through extensive simulations under a variety of node densities and anchor placement methods.

This paper proposes a control method for a differential robot to track and follow a moving object based on ultrasonic sensor. To track a target object, the method uses a transmitter and two receivers to get distances from the object. The method derives translational and rotational error by the distances and then it uses the errors to calculate control values based on PID control method. The control values are used to control the robot to follow moving object. The authors do some experimentations to analyze some characteristics such as influence of PID gain, influence of translational and rotational gain. This method not only can be applied for following moving object problem but also can be done group unit control problems.

A least squares method for adjusting the horizontal network satisfies the conditions which is minimizing the sum of the squares of errors based on probability theory. This research compared accuracy of 3rd cadastral control points adjusted by traditional and least square method with respect to the result of Network-RTK. Test results showed the least square method more evenly distribute closure error than traditional method. Mean errors of least square and traditional adjusting method are 2.7cm, 2.2cm respectively. In addition, blunder in angle observations can be detected by comparing position errors which calculated by forward and backward initial coordinates. However, distance blunder cannot offer specific observation line occurred mistake because distance error propagates several observation lines which have similar directions.

In order to understand 3D visual fatigue, it is necessary to examine the visual fatigue induced by camera parameters as well as that induced by a pre-existing 3D content. In the present study, we examined the effects of camera parameters, such as roll misalignment error, shooting distance and vergence condition on 3D visual fatigue and we modelled it. The results indicate that roll misalignment error, shooting distance and vergence condition affect 3D visual fatigue and the effect of roll misalignment error on 3D visual fatigue is evident specifically when screen disparity is relatively small.

In this paper, a minimum Euclidian distance criterion between error PDF and Dirac delta function is introduced and a constant modulus type blind equalizer algorithm based on the criterion is proposed. The proposed algorithm using constant modulus error in place of actual error term of the criterion has superior convergence and steady state MSE performance, and the error signal of the proposed algorithm exhibits more concentrated density function in blind equalization environments. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method can be a reliable candidate for blind equalizer algorithms for multipoint communications.

2012년 9월 17일 제 16호 태풍 산바의 내습에 의한 유출발생 시 제주도 천미천 유역의 성읍교 부근에서 최대 수위 3.94 m를 기록한 9시 00분 유출영상에 표면영상유속계(SIV)를 적용하여 참조점 설정에 따른 오차율을 분석하였다. 참조점 설정 과정에서 원거리의 참조점 입력 오류가 발생하면 2~11 pixel의 미세한 오류값 입력에 의해 X축 방향으로 0.42 m, Y축 방향으로 0.94 m의 실거리 변화율이 발생하며, 근거리의 참조점 입력 오류가 발생하면 1~11 pixel의 미세한 오류값 입력에 의해 X축 방향으로 0.02 m, Y축 방향으로 0.28 m의 실거리 변화율을 발생시킨다. 이 같은 실거리 변화율은 원거리의 참조점 설정변수에 따라 유속 오차율은 최소 16.77%에서 최대 317.69%의 변동 폭을 나타냈으며, 유량 산정 시 최소 16.86%에서 최대 338.63%의 변동 폭을 나타냈다. 또한 근거리의 참조점 설정변수에 따라 유속 오차율은 최소 1.10%에서 최대 74.47%의 변동 폭을 나타냈으며, 유량 산정 시 최소 0.82%에서 최대 59.28%의 변동 폭을 나타냈다.

For location based service and context awareness services, accurate indoor positioning technology is essential. The TDOA method that uses the range difference between signal source and receivers for estimating the location of the signal source, has estimation error due to measurement error. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to select the real root among calculated roots using the range difference information, and the estimated position of the signal source shows good accuracy compared to the existing method.

Recently, ToA and TDoA estimation are favorable among all of estimation techniques because they have the best accuracy in estimating position. ToA and TDoA estimation are typical techniques based on time. So, it is important to have the time syncronization and offset between a target node and several reference nodes. If they don't have the time syncronization between a reference node and target node or have a time offset among reference nodes, the positioning error will increase due to the ranging error. The conventional positioning algorithm does not have a accurate device's position because ranging error is added the calc dation of the position. In this paper, we propose a hybrid method of ToA and TDoA ll increase due. We use MHP pulse that has orthogonal pulse instead of the existing pulse to transmit and receive pulses between a target node and reference nodes. We can estimate the target node's position by ToA and TDoA estimation to transmit and receive MHP pulses only once. When the proposed Hybrid method iteratively calculate the distance, we can select the ranging technique to have more accurate position. The simulation results confirm the enhancement of the Hybrid method.

It is necessary to use satellite radio navigation system as well as satellite radio navigation augmentation system such as differential Global Positioning System to achieve the positioning accuracy and reliability requested by International Maritime Organization in port and coastal area. Especially, position accuracy of DGPS user is effected by accuracy of pseudorange correction broadcasted from DGPS reference station. This paper shows pseudorange correction calculation algorithm adopting a non-common error estimation filter in order to improve accuracy of pseudorange correction. Finally, this paper verifies that the pseudorange correction calculated by adopting a non-common error estimation filter satisfies performance specifications of RTCM.

Nowadays, wireless infrastructures such as sensor networks are widely used in many different areas. In case of sensor networks, the wirelessly connected sensors can execute different kind of tasks in a diversity of environments, and one of the most important parameter for a successful execution of such tasks is the location information of each node. As to localization problems in WSNs, there are ToA (Timer of Arrival), RSS (Received Signal Strength), AoA (Angle of Arrival), etc. In this paper, we propose a modification of existing ToA and RSS based methods, adding a weighted average scheme to measure more precisely the distance between nodes. The comparison experiments with the traditional ToA method show that the average error value of proposed method is reduced by 0.1 cm in indoor environment ($5m{\times}7m$) and 0.6cm in outdoor environment ($10{\times}10m$).
