본 논문에서는 영상 항법 변수 추출 알고리듬의 실시간 구현에 관해 연구하였다. 영상 항법 변수 추출 알고리듬은 이전 위치를 기준으로 현재 위치를 추정해내는 상대위치 추정 알고리듬과 상대위치 추정에 의해 누적되는 오차를 보정하기 위한 절대위치 보정 알고리듬으로 구성된다. 절대위치 보정 알고리듬은 고해상도 영상과 IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) 위성영상을 기준영상으로 이용하는 방법 및 DEM (Digital Elevation Model) 을 이용하는 방법으로 구성된다. 하이브리드 영상 항법 변수 추출 알고리듬을 실시간으로 구현하기 위해 MVP (Multimedia Video Processor)로 명명된 TMS320C80 DSP (Digital Signal Processor) 칩을 사용하였다. 구현된 시스템은 MVP의 부동 소수점 프로세서인 MP (Master Processor) 를 고정 소수점 프로세서인 PP (Parallel Processor) 를 제어하거나 삼각함수 계산과 같은 부동 소수점 함수를 계산하는데 사용하였고, 대부분의 연산은 PP를 사용하여 수행하였다. 처리시간이 많이 필요한 모듈에 대해서는 고속 알고리듬을 개발하였고, 4개의 PP를 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 영상분할 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 비행체에서 캡코더를 이용해 촬영한 연속 항공 영상과 비행체의 자세정보를 입력으로 실시간 시뮬레이션 하였다. 실험결과는 하이브리드 항법 변수 추출 알고리듬의 실시간 구현이 효과적으로 구현되었음을 나타내고 있다.

The navigation system of lunar lander are composed of various navigation sensors which have a complementary characteristics such as inertial measurement unit, star tracker, altimeter, velocimeter, and camera for terrain relative navigation to achieve the precision and autonomous navigation capability. The required performance of sensors has to be determined according to the landing scenario and mission requirement. In this paper, the specifications of navigation sensors are investigated through covariance analysis. The reference error model with 77 state vector and measurement model are derived for covariance analysis. The mission requirement is categorized as precision exploration with 90m($3{\sigma}$ ) landing accuracy and area exploration with 6km($3{\sigma}$ ), and the landing scenario is divided into PDI(Powered descent initiation) and DOI(Deorbit initiation) scenario according to the beginning of autonomous navigation. The required specifications of the navigation sensors are derived by analyzing the performance according to the sensor combination and landing scenario.

항법(navigation)은 기준좌표계에 대한 항체(vehicle)의 위치나 속도를 알아내기 위한 것으로 이를 위한 시스템이 관성항법장치(inertial navigation system-INS)이며 항법기능을 수행하기 위하여 항체에 놓여진 쎈서의 관성성질을 이용한다. INS는 specific force와 관성 각속도의 측정에서 얻은 데이타를 처리함으로 그 기능을 수행한다. 스트랩다운 INS(SINS)는 관성항법장치의 한 종류로 analytic INS라고도 하는데 기준좌표축을 유지하기 위하여 안정테이블을 사용하지 않고 쎈서들을 항체에 직접 부착시켜 초기상태와 현재상태와의 사이에 상대적인 회전방향을 해석적으로 계산한다. INS의 성능은 수많은 오차원(error source)의 함수로 주어지며 이 오차원 중에는 주위환경에 의한 것도 있고 INS 구성에 사용된 기구(instruments)와 관련된 것도 있다. INS 를 해석하는 목적은 항법의 정확도를 알아보는데 있으며 또한 각각의 오차원의 값을 추정하는 것도 부가적인 목적이 된다. 이러한 오차의 추정치는 사양(specification)을 모르는 부품의 성능을 식별하는데 사용될 수 있다. 따라서 INS를 해석함으로 INS를 구성하는 어떤 부품에 대한 성능이 어느정도 개선을 필요로 하는가 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SINS의 오차원을 크게 고도계의 불확실성, 중력의 편향과 이상, 가속도계의 불확실성, 자이로의 불확실성의 네 그룹으로 나누어 상호분산해석(covariance analysis)방법으로 각 오차원이 시스템에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

This paper deals with an implementation of the navigation parameter extraction technique using the TMS320C80 multimedia video processor (MVP). Especially, this Paper focuses on the relative position estimation algorithm which plays an important role in real-time operation of the overall system. Based on the relative position estimation algorithm using the images obtained at two locations, we develop a fast algorithm that can reduce large amount of computation time and fit into fixed-point processors. Then, the algorithm is reconfigured for parallel processing using the 4 parallel processors in the MVP. As a result, we shall demonstrate that the navigation parameter extraction system employing the MVP can operate at full-frame rate, satisfying real-time requirement of the overall system.

The Entry-Descent-Landing process of a lander involves many environmental and technical challenges. To solve these problems, recently, terrestrial relative navigation (TRN) technology has been essential for landers. TRN is a technology for estimating the position and attitude of a lander by comparing Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data and image data collected from a descending lander with pre-built reference data. In this paper, we present a method for generating descent dataset and extracting landmarks, which are key elements for developing TRN technologies to be used on Mars. The proposed method generates IMU data of a descending lander using a simulated Mars landing trajectory and generates descent images from high-resolution ortho-map and digital elevation map through a ray tracing technique. Landmark extraction is performed by an area-based extraction method due to the low-textured surfaces on Mars. In addition, search area reduction is carried out to improve matching accuracy and speed. The performance evaluation result for the descent dataset generation method showed that the proposed method can generate images that satisfy the imaging geometry. The performance evaluation result for the landmark extraction method showed that the proposed method ensures several meters of positioning accuracy while ensuring processing speed as fast as the feature-based methods.

The Supreme Court in Korea judged the conduct of vessels in narrow channel was applied in order to prevent a ship collision in narrow channel, regardless of kind of a ship or weather situation, as application was not excluded as vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre without other special circumstances such as receiving the right of keep her course and speed from the other vessel, any priority was not guaranteed for vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre in regard to the other vessel following the conduct of vessel in narrow channel. In this judgement, there is concern to cause disorder to interpretation in the rule of narrow channel and responsibility between vessels. Therefore, this study aims to suggest correct interpretation about the rule concerned.

Recently, researches on DBRN(DataBase Referenced Navigation) system are being carried out to replace GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System), as weaknesses of GNSS were found that are caused by the intentional interference and the jamming of the satellite signal. This paper describes the gravity gradient modeling and the construction of EKF(Extended Kalman Filter) based GGRN(Gravity Gradient Referenced Navigation). To analyze the performance of GGRN, fourteen flight trajectories were made for simulations over whole South Korea. During the simulations, we considered the errors in both DB(DataBase) and sensor as well as the flight altitudes. Accurate performances were found, when errors in the DB and the sensor are small and they located at lower altitude. For comparative evaluation, the traditional TRN(Terrain Referenced Navigation) was also developed and performances were analyzed relative to those from the GGRN. In fact, most of GGRN performed better in low altitude, but both of precise gravity gradient DB and gradiometer were required to obtain similar level of precisions at the high altitude. In the future, additional tests and evaluations on the GGRN need to be performed to investigate on more factors such as DB resolution, flight speed, and the update rate.

GPS, which has been opened to the public since the 1980's, uses the C/A code time of arrival to estimate the position, and measures the carrier doppler frequency to estimate the velocity. In development from the 1990's, DGPS has improved position accuracy by eliminating common errors and CDGPS has achieved cm-level position accuracy using carrier phase. In this paper, a modified LSAST ambiguity resolution method for CDGPS is proposed to improve reliability and computational efficiency. Also the test results of cm level relative positioning of a moving vehicle using single frequency GPS receivers are compared to INS position. This research result can be widely used for the development of high precision INS, unmanned autonomous driving, survey and mapping, etc.

It is necessary to resolve integer ambiguity in GPS carrier based precise positioning. If there is no signal blockage or cycle slip, the integer ambiguity does not changed. however, signal blockage and cycle slip occur frequently under real operational environment. under this situation, integer ambiguity maintenance is indispensable for continuity of navigation information. In this paper, a cycle slip free technique is proposed for simplifying integer ambiguity maintenance procedure. this technique tested with simulated carrier phase signal with cycle slip aided intentionally. As a result, the proposed technique can give navigation information continuously even if cycle slip is occured.
