Using only laser range finder to detect the obstacles in an environment that contains transparent obstacles can not guarantee autonomous mobile robot from collision problem. To solve this problem, a mobile robot using laser range finder must be used additional sensor device such as sonar sensor that can detect the transparent obstacle. In this paper, a method is addressed to deal with the problem to detect the transparent obstacles within environment only by using laser range finder for mobile robot. In case the recognized transparent obstacle, the proposed algorithm is to localize the transparent obstacle to extract and process the reflected noise. This algorithm ensures autonomous of mobile robot only using laser range finder. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the real mobile robot and real laser range finder experiments with three case studies.

In this paper, a multi-purpose golf putting range finder based on an IR razer sensor and an inertial sensor was designed and made. It was designed to measure distance and slope within a 50m outdoor measurement range for the main purpose of golf putting distance measurement, and at the same time, it is designed to measure temperature information that affects putting. In addition, the distance meter supports house maintenance work by providing length and horizontality measurement values within the indoor 80m measurement range, and provides safety from indoor or vehicle fires by providing indoor temperature measurement values to mobile phones through linkage with the web server. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method and its interworking performance with a smartphone, a prototype was produced and a web server was built, and the usefulness was confirmed by showing an acceptable error rate within 5% in repeated experiments.

정밀한 계측의 필요성이 높아지면서 레이저는 그 신뢰성과 사용 편의성으로 인해 거리측정에도 높은 활용을 보이고 있다. 레이저 거리측정기(laser range finder, LRF)의 원리는 20ns 미만의 짧은 레이저 펄스를 표적에 발사한 후 반사되어 돌아오는 신호의 시간과 빛의 속도를 곱하여 거리를 계산하는 방식이다. 이러한 반사펄스(pulse-echo techniques)법은 수m-수백만 km까지의 거리측정에 사용되는 방식으로서 정밀하고 빠른 측정이 가능할 뿐 아니라 단지 목표물을 확인하고 측정버튼을 누름으로써 결과를 얻을 수 있는 사용 편의성을 장점으로 한다.(중략)

Nowadays, we live in the age of highly developed information technology. The information industry is growing rapidly and it is making remarkable changes in our life. Among the information technologies, laser range finder can be used to measure distance in difficult environment. In this paper, we have designed and constructed the laser range finder for many purposes such as industry or leisure in difficult environment. Using the proposed laser range finder enables us to measure distance easily using timing discriminator between transmitter and receiver for industry or leisure.

Purpose: This study was to develop golf range finder which could measure exact distance from golfer to flag by using telescope and biprism. Methods: Golf range finder was made that included telescope and biprism which could move in the telescope, and an accuracy of the range finder was analyzed in distance range 20~200 m. Results: An equation was made for measuring distance which was related at position of biprism, and we could measure distance successfully by using developed golf range finder. Biprism of 2 ${\Delta}$ was useful to measure in short distance but it had bad accuracy in long distance, and 0.5 ${\Delta}$ was more useful in long distance. Image got worse when the biprism approch to focal point of objective lens for measurement in long distance, so we developed multi-layer biprism to prevent the weak point. Conclusions: Image stabilization by biprism for measuring distance was confirmed. Even if hand was moving, the distance could be measured well by using biprism, and we could find that the induced equation for distance measurement was useful. We found that multi-layer biprism, which is was new developed, was more useful than general biprism when the biprism approched to focal point of objective lens for measurement in long distance.

본 논문에서는 3차원 공간에서 6자유도로 움직이는 카메라의 실시간 포즈를 추적하기 위해, RGB-D 입력 영상들로부터 카메라의 실시간 주행 거리를 효과적으로 계산할 수 있는 시각 주행 거리 측정기를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시각 주행 거리 측정기에서는 컬러 영상과 깊이 영상의 풍부한 정보를 충분히 활용하면서도 실시간 계산량을 줄이기 위해, 특징점 위주의 저밀도 주행 거리 계산 방법을 사용한다. 또한, 본 시스템에서는 정확도 향상을 위해, 정합된 특징점들에 대한 추가적인 정상 집합정제 과정과 이들을 이용한 주행 거리 정제 작업을 반복하도록 설계하였다. TUM 대학의 벤치마크 데이터 집합을 이용하여 다양한 성능 분석 실험을 수행하였고, 이를 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 시각 주행 거리 측정기의 높은 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new design technique on the LRF which is useful for low power laser and a CBDA(Cummulative Binary Detection Algorithm) is proposed. The LD(Laser Diode) and Si-APD(Silicon Avalanche Photo Diode) are used for saving a power. In order to prove the detection range, the Si-APD binary data are accumulated before the range computation and the range finding algorithm. A prototype of the proposed DLRF(Diode Laser Range Finder) system was made and tested. An experimental result shows that the DLRF system have the same detection range using a less power(almost 1/32) than an usual military LRF. The proposed DLRF can be applied to the Unmanned Vehicles, Robot and Future Combat System of a tiny size and a low power LRF.

We propose a correction method of nonlinear frequency sweep in an FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) laser range finder. FMCW laser range finder requires linear frequency sweep for high resolution, and nonlinear frequency sweep makes the system performance degrade. In general, VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) which is a component used for frequency modulation in FMCW method has nonlinear property. To correct the nonlinear frequency sweep, we utilize an auxiliary delay structure for generating trigger signal of ADC(Analog to Digital Converter). Because the trigger signal has same rate of change with the beat signal, the nonlinearity of the beat signal can be corrected. the experimental results show that the proposed method effectively eliminates the nonlinear frequency sweep problem and enhances the system performance.
