위성의 실제 궤도를 실시간하에서 추정(real-time estimation)하기 위해 지구 비대칭 중력장, 지구 대기의 저항력,그리고, 태양과 달의 위성체에 대한 섭동의 영향을 받는 지구 근방의 위성을 동력학적 모델로 선택하였다. 위성 관측소에서 얻게될 가상의 위성 궤도 자료들은 실제 관측에서 나타날 수 있는 관측 잡음(measurement noise)뿐 아니라 추적소 고도 등의 불확실한 요소들을 포함한다. 또한 수치 모델에서 고려치 못한 섭적 난수에 의해 만들었다. 확장 칼만 필터(Extended Kalman Filter)의 특성을 알아 보기 위해 일차원에서의 자유낙하체에 대한 거리와 속도 추정의 모의 실험을 비교하였고, 뱃치추정 알고리즘, 순차 추정 알고리즘의 모의 실험이 거리변화율의 자료를 이용하여 확장 칼만 필터와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 확장 칼만 필터 알고리즘은 빠른 수렴 속도를 갖는 특성을 가지며, 실시간하에서 완전하지 못한 수치 모델로 실제 궤도를 결정하고 궤도 요소를 추정하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents a method that estimates distance and velocity of an object with reliability regardless of maneuver status of the target in stereo vision system. A stereo vision system can calculate a distance with disparity from left and right images. However, the distance estimation error may occur due to quantization error of image pixel. A sub-pixel interpolation method minimizes the quantization error and estimates accurate disparity with real value. Extended Kalman filter (EKF) was used to minimize the error covariance and estimate the object's velocity. However, divergence problem occurs due to model uncertainty when a target maneuvers highly, which makes the estimation error increase. In this paper, we propose a virtual model extended Kalman filter (VMEKF) method that minimizes the processing time and provides reliable estimation ability regardless of maneuver status. Computer simulations and experimental results in real road environments demonstrate that the proposed method gives a reliable estimation performance and reduces processing time under various maneuver status while comparing other estimation filters.

Most of the way shape estimation method using reference sources assume that the reference sources are in the farfield. That is, the reference sources are assumed to be far from the array. However, in applications of the array with reference sources, the reference sources are not far from the way, so that in practical ocean environments, the conventional method using farfield source model fail to estimate the positions of the hydrophones. In this paper, based on the nearfield source model, a subspace-based array shape estimation method was proposed. In the proposed method, nearfield reference source is modeled using the differential time delay at each hydrophone, and nearfield parameters are derived. Using these parameters, a subspace-based array shape estimation method that generalizes the existing farfield subspace fitting method which can work regardless of the range of the source is proposed. The Cramer-Rao lower bound for the proposed method is investigated. The results of the numerical experiments indicate that the proposed method performs well in estimating the shape of a perturbed way regardless of the ranges of the reference sources.

The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptions of elementary school teachers regarding the variation scale about astronomical distance and its accuracy with distance increased. The astronomical distance questionnaire was administered to 69 elementary school teachers, then; three teachers were selected to interview about their conceptions. Results showed that many elementary school teachers overestimated the distance from the Earth to the Moon and to the Sun, and dramatically underestimated the distances to the nearest star and to the nearest galaxy. They inferred astronomical distance with the use of both intuitive (psychological) measure and theoretical (calculative) measure. They well recited the terminology such as AU and a light-year, yet they did not show a good understanding of what the terms exactly means. Some teachers thought that the distance to Neptune is farther than the distance from Earth to the nearest star. There was a considerable variability in the participants' estimates of astronomical distances. Elementary school teachers showed a tendency to overestimate the distance as it gradually increases to the outer solar system.

본 논문에서는 지점 강우의 결측치를 추정하기 위해 전통적인 통계학적 내삽기법을 이용한 역거리가중치법(IDWM), 역지수가중치법(IEWM), 상관계수가중치법(CCWM)과 패턴 인식의 일종인 인공신경망(ANN)기법 그리고 시공간적 강우분포의 측정이 가능한 레이더 자료를 이용해 결측치를 추정하여 각각의 방법을 비교하였다. 임진강 유역의 15개 지상관측소를 대상으로 교차검정(Cross validation) 분석을 실시해 본 결과, CCWM 방법과 ANN기법에 의한 RMSE가 0.46~1.79의 범위를 보였고, 보정레이더를 이용하여 결측치를 추정한 경우RMSE가 0.05~2.26의 범위를 보여 기존의 전통적 결측치 추정방법보다 실측치에 가까운 결과를 보였다. 이는 레이더자료가 지점 강우자료와는 달리 강우의 시공간적 변동성을 고려한 공간분포의 정보를 지니고 있기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

This study focused on the estimation of econcmic value and the evaluation of attitudes toward plans for the establishment of a walking tour as a public service in the city of Gwacheon. A value analysis based upon 152 questionnaires returned by the residents of Gwacheon and 175 questionnaires from the users of Seoul Race Park in Gwacheon utilized a CVM(Contingent Valuation Method) approach to estimate use value, non-use value, and potential value. The results show that 69.8% of residents and 60.0% of Seoul Race Park users had an interest, 81.6% of residents and 89.7% of Seoul Race Park users agreed to the proposed plan, and 67.8% of residents and 69.7% of Seoul Race Park users expressed a willingness to pay an additional tax or admission fee. The estimated WTP for an additional resident tax per household/year is 11,721 won while it was an additional 750 won per admission for the Seoul Race Park user group. Based on these results, the estimated total economic value of all households/year and the user group over a period of 5 years is 9,997 hundred million won, which was a doubling of the 1.4 in value of total construction costs. The results of this study strongly support the establishment of a walking tour street plan as a public service commodity.

The light rail transit (LRT) having bus lines as subsystem is being constructed or planned in the suburban area of metropolitans and medium size cities. However, there is difficulty in establishing the service coverage (SC) of the LRT because the LRT is a completely new transit mode in Korea. The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data and techniques to be used for establishing the SC of the future LRT by understanding the SC characteristics of buses and subways and building models to estimate the walking distances of their users. Busan City is selected as the study city and the SC's of buses and subways are surveyed simultaneously. A total of 9 variables for 82 stations are collected and the cluster analysis is conducted about the variables. The station areas are divided to three types of CBD (Central Business District), sub-CBD and regional center based on the analysis. A station in each area is selected as the study station. At the walking distance (WD) analysis for each mode, the 80 percentile WD of the subway is 672 m and that of the bus is 472 m. In comparing the SC's of both modes by the type of station areas, there are not significant differences between the SC's of sub-CBD and regional center except CBD. At analysis of the relationship between the personal attributes and the WD, for subway users the WD of female is longer than that of male and apartment residents use subway more positively than single house residents do. For the models to estimate the walking distances, the simple regression models were built employing the income as independent variable by dividing the stations into CBD abd non-CBD stations.

Zoom motion estimation of video sequence is very complicated for implementation. In this paper, we propose a method to implement the zoom motion estimation using together the depth camera and color camera. Depth camera obtains the distance information between current block and reference block, then zoom ratio between both blocks is calculated from this distance information. As the reference block is appropriately zoomed by the zoom ratio, the motion estimated difference signal can be reduced. Therefore, the proposed method is possible to increase the accuracy of motion estimation with keeping zoom motion estimation complexity not greater. Simulation was to measure the motion estimation accuracy of the proposed method, we can see the motion estimation error was decreased significantly compared to conventional block matching method.

Recently, Korean development Institute includes water for environmental improvement as an additional water demand category in water resources development project. In response to this change, this paper is to measure benefits of providing additional water in Yeondok Ohsip River by applying contingent valuation method. This study extended the conventional CVM design by incorporating distance variable into WTP function of dichotonomous choice responses and treated protest bids by estimating sample-selection models. The empirical analysis exhibited that more than 30% of respondents were categorized as protest bids and the mean of WTP from sample selection models were three times higher than that of the whole sample. In addition, the distance variable had significantly negative impact on sample WTP regardless of variables forms, and the geographical market area were more 400km, which implies that beneficiaries of water service would the households from the whole nation.

In wireless sensor networks, the geographical positioning scheme is one of core technologies for sensor applications such as disaster monitoring and environment monitoring. For this reason, studies on range-free positioning schemes have been actively progressing. The density probability scheme based on central limit theorem and normal distribution was proposed to improve the location accuracy in non-uniform sensor network environments. The density probability scheme measures the final positions of unknown nodes by estimating distance through the sensor node communication. However, it has a problem that all of the neighboring nodes have the same 1-hop distance. In this paper, we propose an efficient sensor positioning scheme that overcomes this problem. The proposed scheme performs the second positioning step through the sensing range control after estimating the 1-hop distance of each node in order to minimize the estimation error. Our experimental results show that our proposed scheme improves the accuracy of sensor positioning by about 9% over the density probability scheme and by about 48% over the DV-HOP scheme.
