This paper presents a steering angle error compensation (SAEC) algorithm that is appropriate for rapidly moving sources. The Proposed algorithm utilizes a modal covariance matrix from multiple frequency components instead of the multiple snapshots in a narrowband SAEC, and estimates the steering error by maximizing the wideband WVDR output power using a first-order Taylor series approximation of the modal steering vector in terms of the steering error. As such, the steering error can be compensated with short observation times. Several simulations using artificial and sea trial data are used to demonstrate the Performance of the proposed algorithm.

The Moving Search Radar System (MSRS) monitors sea areas by moving along the coast. Since the radar is initially aligned to the front of the vehicle, it is important to know the changes in the heading azimuth of the vehicle to quickly acquire the target azimuth from the radar after the MSRS has moved. The heading azimuth can be obtained using the gyro compass, the GPS compass or the electronic compass. The electronic compass is suitable for MSRS requiring fast maneuverability due to its small volume, short stabilization time and low price. However, using a geomagnetic sensor may result in an error due to the surrounding magnetic field. Errors can make early automatic tracking of the satellites difficult and can reduce the radar detection accuracy. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to automatically compensate for the error reflecting the correction value on the radar obtained by comparing the reference azimuth calculated by solving the geodesic inverse problem using two coordinates between the radar and the geostationary satellite with the actually-directed azimuth angle of the satellite antenna. The feasibility and convenience of the proposed method were verified by applying it to the MSRS in the field.

Radiometric calibration is a fundamental step in ocean color remote sensing since the step to derive solar radiance spectrum in visible to near-infrared wavelengths from the sensor-observed electromagnetic signals. Generally, satellite sensor suffers from degradation over the mission period, which results in biases/uncertainties in radiometric calibration and the final ocean products such as water-leaving radiance, chlorophyll-a concentration, and colored dissolved organic matter. Therefore, the importance of radiometric calibration for the continuity of ocean color satellites has been emphasized internationally. This study introduces an approach to improve the radiometric calibration algorithm for the visible bands of the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager-II (GOCI-II) satellite with a focus on stability. Solar Diffuser (SD) measurements were employed as an on-orbit radiometric calibration reference, to obtain the continuous monitoring of absolute gain values. Time series analysis of GOCI-II absolute gains revealed seasonal variations depending on the azimuth angle, as well as long-term trends by possible sensor degradation effects. To resolve the complexities in gain variability, an azimuth angle correction model was developed to eliminate seasonal periodicity, and a sensor degradation correction model was applied to estimate nonlinear trends in the absolute gain parameters. The results demonstrate the effects of the azimuth angle correction and sensor degradation correction model on the spectrum of Top of Atmosphere (TOA) radiance, confirming the capability for improving the long-term stability of GOCI-II data.

In this paper, we propose a beamformer adequate for the nested away that is generally used for multiple frequency band signal processing. The nonisotropic beam pattern of channel in this array causes two problems: the bearing-estimate error of mainlobe and the difference between design and output in sidelobe level. By separating the time delay among channel signals and the time delay among sensor signals in channel, we can remove the effects of the nonisotropic beam pattern of channel in the beamformer output. Through this process, a method to correct simultaneously these problems is proposed.

사면관측 원리에 의해 획득되는 레이더 영상은 레이더파의 입사각도와 지표면의 경사도 및 방위각에 따라 기하학적 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 전 국토의 70% 이상이 산악지형인 국내 여건을 감안한다면 레이더 영상의 정량적 활용을 위해서는 정밀한 기하보정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 RADSARSAT-1 SAR 영상에 대하여 세 가지 기하보정 방법을 적용하였다. 먼저 GCP 만을 이용한 단순기하보정을 수행하였고, 두번째로 위성의 자세와 위치정보 등을 이용하여 센서모델을 통한 보정을 하였다. 마지막으로 다양한 영상자료에 적용할 수 있는 RFM(Rational Function Model)을 이용하여 기하보정을 하였다. 이 세 가지 방법으로 기하보정된 레이더 영상의 위치정확도를 모의 레이더 영상과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 RFM을 이용한 보정결과를 검증하기 위하여 SIR-C 영상을 추가로 분석하였다.

The positioning accuracy of GNSS surveys deteriorates due to various error factor, and many users sometimes ignore Phase Center Variation (PCV) of antennas. IGS provides an ANTEX file which contains PCV correction information to correct for PCVs. But it is not directly applicable because PCV correction information is provided at 5-degree intervals in the azimuth and elevation directions for the case of receiver antennas, and at 1-degree intervals in the nadir angle for the case of satellite antennas. So, we devised new and optimal ways of interpolating PCV in any desired line of sight to the GNSS satellite. We used spherical harmonics fitting methods in terms of the azimuth and elevation angle for interpolation, and found an optimal degree and order. It is shown that the best accuracy was obtained from the 8 by 8 spherical harmonics. If one requires lower burden on computing resources, the order and degree less than 8 could produce resonable accuracy except for 1st and 5th order.

카오스 로봇의 하드웨어 구현에서 로봇의 차제 또는 바퀴가 정확하기 자기 위치를 인식하고 지시한 방향과 거리만큼 이동하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 기존에 방위를 측정하기 위해서 주로 마그네틱 자이로센서를 사용하였으나 자이로센서는 주변의 자장의 영향을 크게 받아 정확한 방위를 측정하는 것이 곤란하다는 문제점이 있어 정확한 방향을 움직일 수 있는 각속도 센서로 대체하여 사용하는 방위각 센서 설계 방법을 제시하였다.

The method of estimating the azimuth by measuring the geomagnetism has been used for a very long time. However, there are many cases where an error occurs in the estimated azimuth due to disturbances in the earth's magnetic field due to metal structures inside and outside the room. Although many studies have been conducted to correct this, there is a limit to reducing the error. In this paper, we propose a method of estimating the azimuth by applying the measured geomagnetic sensor data to the neural network of the LSTM structure. Data preprocessing is very important for learning a neural network. In this paper, data is collected using the built-in acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and geomagnetic sensor in the smartphone, and the geomagnetic sensor data is uniformly sampled using EKF. As a result, an average azimuth estimation error of 0.9 degrees was obtained using four hidden layers.

In geophysics and geophysical exploration fields, we can use information about inclination and azimuth in various ways. These include borehole deviation logging for inversion process, real-time data acquisition system, geophysical monitoring system, and so on. This type of information is also necessarily used in the directional drilling of shale gas fields. We thus need to develop a subminiature, low-powered, multi-functional inclination and azimuth measurement system for geophysical exploration fields. In this paper, to develop real-time measurement system, we adopt the high performance low power Micro Control Unit (made with state-of-the-art Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology) and newly released Micro Electro Mechanical Systems Attitude Heading Reference System sensors. We present test results on the development of a multifunctional real-time inclination and azimuth measurement system. The developed system has an ultra-slim body so as to be installed in 42mm sonde. Also, this system allows us to acquire data in real-time and to easily expand its application by synchronizing with a depth encoder or Differential Global Positioning System.
