This paper describe the method for maintaining initial azimuth of tactical grade IMU. The proposed method uses the zero velocity update (ZUPT) algorithm based on Kalman filter and the azimuth information previously obtained through transfer alignment. ZUPT technique can estimate and correct navigation attitude errors using the observed velocity error without the need of other sensors. Also, ZUPT combined pre-obtained azimuth information allows to maintain initial azimuth for tactical grade IMU. We verify the performance improvement of the proposed azimuth maintaining method by simulation and test.

Strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) is a navigational instruments necessary to guide and con- trol a free vehicle. In this study, an error analysis of mechanical parts is carried out for manufacturing a dynamically tuned gyroscope. The errors usually come from the tolerance in machining and assembly. In the error analysis, a criterion to be considered during designing and manufacturing is proposed by quanti- tatively analyzing the effect of DTG performance by tolerances. The theory of dynamic balancing is deduced and unbalance is reduced through experiment.

본 연구에서는 실내 공간 정보 획득을 위한 IMU/INS 항법장치에 관한 연구를 위한 선행연구를 수행 하였다. 최근의 GPS를 이용한 내비게이션의 경우 보통 5~10m의 위치 오차가 일어나지만 아파트나 대형시설과 같이 실내, 터널, 공장지대 및 산악 지대등 상당한 지역은 GPS의 사각지대 또는 오차 범위를 벗어난 지역으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 GPS는 실내에서는 사용이 불가능 하므로 다른 방안이 제시되어야 한다. 현재 고속 연산을 위한 고성능 마이크로프로세서의 발전은 센서 분야에 적용되어 저 전력, 고 정밀, 소형의 IMU/INS, ARS/AHRS 센서가 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IMU(inertial measurement unit)와 INS(Inertial Navigation System)을 이용하여 IMU자체의 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서를 이용한 GPS의 위성신호가 감지되지 않는 지형에서도 속도의 적분값과 회전방향을 이용하여 위치인식이 가능하도록 정보를 계산하여 자기의 위치를 추적하는 방안을 연구하였다.

This paper presents a fast back-type transfer device for snack food processing that uses the inertia of transferred material. A conventional conveying system is a drive system that uses a belt conveyor and mechanical crank, which generate noise and vibration and cause environmental pollution. Vibration and noise are reduced in the proposed fast back feeding device by using a counterweight. The crank drive unit was replaced with a linear servomotor, and an equilibrium device was designed to balance the force due to acceleration. This makes it is possible to adjust the forward and backward speed and acceleration through PLC control. A vibration damper device offsets the vibration force of the periodic shock form. The main cause of the vibration was identified through vibration analysis, and reduction measures were established. We verified the effectiveness of the vibration by making a prototype and performing about 10 vibration tests. Because no mechanical transducer is needed, energy loss, noise, and vibration do not occur, and the operating speed is not limited.

A simple laboratory device and methodology are developed for deep understanding of the western boundary current (WBC). The apparatus consists of a rotating (count-clockwise) rectangular tank with a sloping bottom in order to simulate the beta effect, the variation of the Coriolis parameter with latitude. We also used a clockwise rotating disk at the surface water to mimic the wind stress forcing in mid-latitude oceans. Four experiments were carried out using some combination of a bottom type and a rotation of the tank. Experiment with the beta effect clearly demonstrated the WBClike flow as well as the Sverdrup interior. However, the water in a tank gave rise to an inertial motion under the influence of a constant Coriolis force alone. We also discussed a stiffening of the rotating fluid on the basis of the Taylor-Proudman effect. We believe that the apparatus and methods developed in this study help to understand the WBC due to the beta effect.

In the control actuator system of a launch vehicle based on thrust vectoring, the interaction between electro-mechanical position servo and inertial load are combined with the dynamic characteristics of the flexible vehicle support to generate synthetic resonance. This occurred resonance is fed back to the attitude control system and can influence stability of launch vehicle. In this study, we proposed a simulation model to analyze synthetic resonance of electro-mechanical actuation system for thrust vector control and explained the results of simulation and test using dynamic force feedback control which improves dynamic characteristics of servo actuation system by reducing synthetic resonance.

In autonomous navigation of a mobile vehicle or a mobile robot, localization calculated from recognizing its environment is most important factor. Generally, we can determine position and pose of a camera equipped mobile vehicle or mobile robot using INS and GPS but, in this case, we must use enough known ground landmark for accurate localization. hi contrast with homography method to calculate position and pose of a camera by only using the relation of two dimensional feature point between two frames, in this paper, we propose a method to calculate the position and the pose of a camera using relation between the location to predict through perspective transform of 3D feature points obtained by overlaying 3D model with previous frame using GPS and INS input and the location of corresponding feature point calculated using KLT tracking method in current frame. For the purpose of the performance evaluation, we use wireless-controlled vehicle mounted CCD camera, GPS and INS, and performed the test to calculate the location and the rotation angle of the camera with the video sequence stream obtained at 15Hz frame rate.

The Japanese developed the first Car navigation system in 1981 with the advent of Honda, which was known as the car inertial navigation system. Now days, It is possible to search the shortest route to and from places and arrival time using the internet via cell phone to the driver based on GIS and GPS. However, even with a good navigation system, it losses the shortest route when there is an average speed of the vehicle being between S-15 kilometers. Therefore, in order to improve the vehicle waiting time and average vehicle speed, we are suggesting an optimal green time algorithm using fuzzy adaptive control, where there are different traffic intersection lengths, and lanes. In this paper, to be able to assist the driver and forecast the optimal traffic information with regards to the road conditions; dangerous roads, construction work and estimation of arrival time at their destination using internet.

In this paper, we present an inertial sensor-based gait analysis system to measure and analyze lower-limb movements. We developed an integral AHRS(Attitude Heading Reference System) using a combination of rate gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer sensor signals. Several AHRS modules mounted on segments of the patient's body provide the quaternions representing the patient segments's orientation in space. And a method is also proposed for calculating three-dimensional inter-segment joint angle which is an important bio-mechanical measure for a variety of applications related to rehabilitation. To evaluate the performance of our AHRS module, the Vicon motion capture system, which offers millimeter resolution of 3D spatial displacements and orientations, is used as a reference. The evaluation resulted in a RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) of 1.08 and 1.72 degree in yaw and pitch angle. In order to evaluate the performance of our the gait analysis system, we compared the joint angle for the hip, knee and ankle with those provided by Vicon system. The result shows that our system will provide an in-depth insight into the effectiveness, appropriate level of care, and feedback of the rehabilitation process by performing real-time limb or gait analysis during the post-stroke recovery.
