핀홀 카메라는 그 특성상 전체 공간 중에서 일부분만을 촬영할 수 있으므로 전체 공간을 염두에 두는 3D 재구성에서는 구면 영상에 비해 많은 데이터를 확보해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 구면 영상에 촬영된 물체의 실제 3차원 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 두 카메라의 배치 간격이 가까운 스테레오 비전과는 달리 제안하는 방법에서는 여러 대의 카메라를 넓은 간격으로 배치하여 장애물에 대한 폐색을 극복하도록 한다. 구면 카메라의 화각은 공간 전체를 담을 수 있기 때문에 촬영 간격과 카메라의 회전각이 크더라도 전 영역에 대한 일치 관계를 계산할 수 있다. 실험 결과 구면 영상에 나타난 물체의 실제 위치에 근접한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The short-range communication module was developed in this paper which is suitable for the point-to-multipoint circumstances of 40 terminals communicating frequently in about 50 meters. The media access control layer of this communication module using asynchronous time-division multiplexing provides a fast and robust performance even in the worst case of simultaneous transmission events, and low packet error rate was measured a in LOS (Line-of-sight) circumstance by adding the function of acknowledge response to media access control layer. The difference test was carried out in order to measure the performance of point-to-multipoint communication. Two communication modules are respectively measured and graphed in 10 branches to 40 branches. The communication module developed in this paper showed a faster performance than the commercial Zigbee module in the specific case presented in this paper. Especially, in over 20 branches showed wide differences of the transmission speed. This results is caused by more network overhead of Zigbee whose wider applications needs the network layer and applicaiton layer besides media access control layer. Also, the asynchronous time-division multiplexing proposed in this paper are more suitable than CSMA-CA of Zigbee module when a lot of module ought to be frequently communicated in small area.

In this paper, we proposed a new method which analyzes and eliminates errors occurring by multi-reflection of ultrasonic firing in mobile robot application. This new method allows ultrasonic sensors to fire at rates that are three times faster than those customary in conventional applications readings due to ultrasonic noise disturbance. It is possible them to collect and predict sensor data much faster than conventional methods. Furthermore, this method's capability allows mobile robot to navigate in a complex and unknown environment and to collaborate in the same environment with multiple mobile robot, even if their ultrasonic sensors operate. And it's usefulness to avoid moving obstacles by capability of rapid collecting data. Finally, we present experimental results that demonstrate the performances of the new proposed method by experiments in a multi-reflective environment.

This paper presents a digital video broadcasting - terrestrial (DVB-T) receiver system based on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation method, which has exhibited a good reception performance even with obstacles and a mobile reception. As such, an improved OFDM receiver is developed for a DVB-T system that also considers function expansion for further development. After manufacturing the DVB-T receiver system, the performance of the proposed system is compared with three other hardware systems, all of which are end products. The experimental results confirm the performance using the measured minimum required carrier-to-noise ratio and threshold of visibility signal for each system. In addition, a graphic user interface (GUI) and electronic program guide (EPG) are developed for the digital television user.

In this paper a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm is developed for real-time locating systems (RTLSs) that employ a direct-sequence spread spectrum technique, along with its performance analysis in multipath environments. The classical correlation method provides relatively good performance in line-of-sight (LOS) environments but its performance seriously degrades in multipath environments, especially when signals are spaced closer than a PN chip. Therefore we shall develop a super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm that may estimate the time delays of multipath signals even in closely spaced multipath environments using the MUSIC algorithm for direction-of-arrival estimation and analyze its performance by applying the algorithm to the ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS system.

In this thesis, the ambulatory aid mechanism was implemented so that blind people could be safer at risk of walking outdoors. Using ultrasonic sensors, the obstacles can be detected when the distance between the obstacle is within 50 cm of the obstacle. If the light sensor becomes less than 25 lux, the LED will automatically turn on and help the safety of the visually impaired and the security of sight of the peripheral walkers. Color recognition sensors increase the rate of recognition of yellow color by the detection distance is 1cm, it vibrated when yellow light was detected. Using GPS with 7.3 m of error range, the guardian was able to check the location of the visually impaired.

In this study, we developed a robot operating system (ROS)-based autonomous driving robot that estimates the robot's position in underground mines and drives and returns through multiple waypoints. Autonomous driving robots utilize SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology to generate global maps of driving routes in advance. Thereafter, the shape of the wall measured through the LiDAR sensor and the global map are matched, and the data are fused through the AMCL (Adaptive Monte Carlo Localization) technique to correct the robot's position. In addition, it recognizes and avoids obstacles ahead through the LiDAR sensor. Using the developed autonomous driving robot, experiments were conducted on indoor experimental sites that simulated the underground mine site. As a result, it was confirmed that the autonomous driving robot sequentially drives through the multiple waypoints, avoids obstacles, and returns stably.

The number of mobile terminals equipped with a GPS module is steadily increasing today. However, because they using code pseudorange measurements in positioning, the positioning accuracy of mobile terminals is lower than that of those receivers using carrier phases. Especially, the multipath signal causes more significant errors in code pseudoranges. Therefore, the techniques of multipath detection and elimination is necessary. In this study, as an initial analysis of multipath detection and elimination technique development, we tested the feasibility of multipath signal detection using GPS signal strength information. We found that the GPS signal strength increases as the elevation angle gets higher in the open-sky environment. Also, we found that the signal strength decreases when there were some signal reflectors nearby. We checked the repeatability of the signal strength variation characteristics by reflecting repeat time of GPS satellites. As a result, this characteristics repeats almost perfectly when GPS satellites pass the same orbit. Therefore, we found that it is not a temporary phenomenon and the multipath signal detection should be possible by using GPS signal strength information.

This thesis is a study on multiple close range photogrammetry, and the purpose of this study is to develop the most accurate adjustment method of three dimensional object coordinates. This was achieved by comparing the standard errors of actual data to the computed values from 2 photos and multiple photos. The conventional methods for multiple photos have been analyzed by using geometric model formation. But in this study, the equation of collinearity condition which has been applied to aerial photogrammetry was derived to be a basic principle of close range photogrammetry, and the algorithm for analyzing multiple photos was developed using simultaneous bundle adjustment. The method used in this study, showed more homogeneous accuracy in coordinate and more consistent variance of error than those of conventional methods. It was found that the cases using 3, 4, and 5 photos were more accurate than using 2 photos; the accuracies were improved to 15%, 35%, and 50%, for each case. Thus this study is expected to be useful in measuring the geometry of historic monuments and other structures requiring high accuracy. Also the combined case of multiple photos is considered to be effective for the precise analysis of the objects which are difficult to measure for obstacles.

Most of location systems use RF signal. Because multipath is too severe at indoor environment, RF signal are usually used in outdoor positioning such as GPS. To overcome the difficulty at indoor positioning, m positioning is recently developed and is being vigorously studied. Some standardizations on UWB are in progress at IEEE 802.15 committee. In developing UWB positioning system, we should consider the synchronization of sensor network, positioning algorithm, sensor allocation, and so on. This paper presents a comparison of TDOA positioning algorithms that are widely used in location systems. Two algorithms are compared; one is derived by linearization, and the other is by analytic solution(CH algorithm). Simulation results show that the CH algorithm is superior to the linearized least square at indoor environment in that CH algorithm shows consistent positioning performance regardless of the visibility and geometry of basestations.
