In active sonar field, a target detection and localization based on a distributed sensor network has been much studied for the underwater surveillance of the coast. Zhou et al. proposed a target localization method utilizing the positions of target-detected sensors in distributed sensor network which consists of detection-only sensors. In contrast with a conventional method, Zhou's method dose not require to estimate the propagation model parameters of detection signal. Also it needs the lower computational complexity, and to transmit less data between network nodes. However, it has large target localization error. So it has been modified for reducing localization error by Ryu. Modified Zhou's method has better estimation performance than Zhou's method, but still relatively large estimation error. In this paper, a target localization method based on modified Zhou's method is proposed for reducing the localization error. The proposed method utilizes the geometry of the positions of target-detected sensors and a line that represents the bearing of target, a line can be found by modified Zhou's method. This paper shows that the proposed method has better target position estimation performance than Zhou's and modified Zhou's method by computer simulations.

U-Health에 대한 연구는 환자, 의료장비에 대한 위치 추적을 통한 의료업무 지원관리 분야로 집중되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 RFID Tag를 의료 측정에 적용한다. 즉, RFID Tag를 이용하여 방사선치료에서 사용되는 결손조직 보상체의 체표 윤곽을 모델링하는 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 모델링 방법은 환자의 체표 윤곽을 컴퓨터단층촬영이나 자기공명촬영을 사용한 의료영상을 이용해왔다. 이러한 방법은 고가의 비용이 소요되고 방사선치료에 따른 체표윤곽의 변화에 대응하지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 U-Health에서 기본적으로 사용하는 RFID Tag를 환자의 체표윤각에 고정하여 3차원 위치정보를 획득한다. 체표윤곽에 위치한 RFID의 상대적 위치를 통해 결손조직 보상체를 제작하고 이의 유용성 평가를 위해 기하학적, 선량학적 평가를 수행하였다.

It is very important for metaverse, mobile robot, and user location services to analyze the images continuously taken using a mobile smartphone or robot's monocular camera to estimate the camera's location. So far, PnP-related techniques have been applied to calculate the position. In this paper, the camera's moving direction is obtained using the essential matrix in the epipolar geometry applied to successive images, and the camera's continuous moving position is calculated through geometrical equations. A new estimation method was proposed, and its accuracy was verified through simulation. This method is completely different from the existing method and has a feature that it can be applied even if there is only one or more matching feature points in two or more images.

This paper proposes a digital image watermarking which is robust to geometric distortions using an independent component analysis(ICA) of fixed-point(FP) algorithm based on secant method. The FP algorithm of secant method is applied for better performance in a separation time and rate, and ICA is applied to reject the prior knowledges for original image, key, and watermark such as locations and size, etc. The proposed method embeds the watermark into the spatial domain of original image The proposed watermarking technique has been applied to lena, key, and two watermarks(text and Gaussian noise) respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed method has higher speed and better rate for extracting the original images than the FP algorithm of Newton method. And the proposed method has a watermarking which is robust to geometric distortions such as resizing, rotation, and cropping. Especially, the watermark of images with Gaussian noise has better extraction performance than the watermark with text since Gaussian noise has lower correlation coefficient than the text to the original and key images. The watermarking of ICA doesn't require the prior knowledge for the original images.

In this paper, we present spiral pattern which suits for optical simulator to calibrate fisheye lens and compensate geometric distortion. Using spiral pattern, we present calibration without mathematical modeling in advance. Proposed spiral pattern used to input image of optical simulator. Using fisheye lens image, we calibrate a fisheye lens by matching geometrically moved dots to corresponding original dots which leads not to need mathematical modeling. Proposed algorithm calibrates using dot matching which matches spiral pattern image dot to distorted image dot. And this algorithm does not need modeling in advance so it is effective. Proposed algorithm is enabled at processing of pattern recognition which has to get the exact information using fisheye lens for digital zooming. And this makes possible at compensation of geometric distortion and calibration of fisheye lens image applying in various image processing.

최근 인공위성 영상자료는 주기적인 획득 시기를 가지고 있고 수치 지형도에 비해 쉽게 인지할 수 있기 때문에 지형변화 모니터링 분야에서 활발하게 이용되고 있다 그러나 인공위성 영상자료들은 촬영조건 및 센서의 특성에 따라 다른 기하학적인 왜곡을 포함하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 공간, 방사 및 분광 해상도가 상이하기 때문에 정밀한 분석 결과 산출에 어려움이 있다. 즉, 두 개 이상의 영상을 비교 분석하기 위해 기본적인 센서 정보의 차이에서 발생하는 정오차를 소거하고 지형기복에 의해 발생하는 부정오차를 제거하기 위한 정밀 기하보정은 반드시 선행되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 공간해상도가 다르기 때문에 발생하는 정오차 및 부정오차를 제거하기 위해 정밀정합을 실시하였다. 정밀 정합된 kompsat EOC 및 Landsat TM 영상으로 토지피복 변화를 탐지함으로써 위치정확도가 높은 탐지결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 정확한 위치정보를 가지는 탐지 결과는 지형지물의 갱신이나 다양한 GIS 응용의 기본자료로서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest possibility to analyze the three-dimensional positions of the whole surface of an object simultaneously and precisely by close-range photogrammetry. For this purpose, the geometry of network, namely imaging geometry and control configuration etc was considered, and then the whole surface of the object was analyzed by bundle adjustment through forma. lion of strip and block with which cover the whole surface of the object. As a result, we were able to prove possibility of the whole surface analysis of an object and to extract characteristics of accuracies in accordance with the number and configuration of control points. Also as desirable accuracies were able to be acquired even by employing configuration of only a few control point stationed on a limited surface, it is expected that the difficulties of control surveying will be able to be reduced considerably.

Total hip arthroplasty(THA) considerably depends on high-experienced doctors because of high difficulty of the operation. Selection of acetabular cup's and femoral implant's position is closely related with success or failure of THA. Nevertheless the selection has usually depended on doctor's eye measurement, which makes the position accuracy of artificial joint lower after THA, often resulting in revision of THA. The present study determined a method to select accurately the position of acetabular cup and femoral implant through surgical simulation with 3D characteristic geometrical information of patient's pelvis and femur. We examined the change of femoral anteversion angle and neck-shaft angle accompanied by the change of acetabular cup's position and the insertion position of femoral implant. As result of analyzing geometrical information through different surgical simulations, we found that it was possible to select the accurate position of acetabular cup and femoral implant. It is expected to help doctors get experienced in THA operation through repetitive surgical simulations using the method suggested in the study.

This paper presents a novel localization paradigm for mobile robots based on artificial and natural landmarks. A model-based object recognition method detects natural landmarks and conducts the global and topological localization. In addition, a metric localization method using artificial landmarks is fused to complement the deficiency of topology map and guide to action behavior. The recognition algorithm uses a modified local Zernike moments and a probabilistic voting method for the robust detection of objects in cluttered indoor environments. An artificial landmark is designed to have a three-dimensional multi-colored structure and the projection distortion of the structure encodes the distance and viewing direction of the robot. We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system through real world experiments using a mobile robot, KASIRI-III.
