다중센서데이터 융합시스템(MSDFS)은 여러 센서로부터 획득된 이질의 데이터를 정규화된 포맷으로 융합하고 단일 센서에서의 획득오차를 최소한으로 줄여 표적의 정확한 식별 및 판단을 지원하는 시스템이다. 이 시스템들은 고유의 기능을 수행하는 모듈들에 대한 고수준의 재사용성을 요구하므로, 현재의 소프트웨어공학 기법을 적용시 공통부분에 대한 효율적 설계가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시스템 개발에 이러한 비효율적인 요소를 제거하는 제품-계열 개발방법론을 MSDFS의 임베디드 소프트웨어 설계에 적용한다. 이를 위해 분석 대상에 대한 영역지정에서부터 재사용가능한 컴포넌트의 식별까지 설계 하며, 마지막으로 설계된 모델에 대한 검증을 위해 GQM 패러다임을 적용한다. 또한 산출물에 대한 성능평가 기준을 제시하여 시스템 개발을 효과적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of geographic information on the performance of multiple ground target tracking system using multiple sensors. Geographic information is utilized in two cases: association and masking target measurement. Virtually no improvement is observed to the overall performance of tracking system when we applied mobility to the association procedure. Masking target measurement based on mobility produces desirable result that the number of false tracks is reduced. Since geographic information can be regarded as an additional sensor in sensor fusion paradigm, careful usage is required.

본 논문에서는 multistatic 소나망의 효과도 분석을 하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 multistatic 소나망의 탐지 성능 분석을 통해 효용성을 알아보았다. Multistatic 소나망은 송/수신기가 분리된 일종의 다중 분산 센서 시스템으로, 최적의 탐지 성능을 갖기 위해서는 적절한 융합 규칙 및 센서 배치가 필요하다. 분산 센서 융합 기법으로 bayesian 결정 기법을 기반으로 한 융합 기법을 적용하였으며, 실제 해양 환경하에서의 탐지 성능 분석을 위해 개선된 bistatic 표적 강도 모델과 거리 종속 전송 손실 모델을 이용한 multistatic 소나망 탐지 모델을 제안하였다. 기존 소나망과의 모의 비교 실험을 통해 multistatic 소나망의 우수성을 입증하였다.

This paper proposes the location estimation techniques of distributed targets with the multi-sensor data perceived through IR sensors of the military robots. In order to match up targets with measured azimuths, we apply the maximum likelihood (ML), depth-first, and breadth-first tree search algorithms, in which we use the measured azimuths and the number of pixels on IR screen for pruning branches and selecting candidates. After matching up targets with azimuths, we estimate the coordinate of each target by obtaining the intersection point of the azimuths with the least square error (LSE) algorithm. The experimental results show the probability of missing target, mean of the number of calculating nodes, and mean error of the estimated coordinates of the proposed algorithms.

Ryu et al. proposed a multiple target angle tracking algorithm using the angular measurement obtained from the signal subspace estimated by the output of sensor array. Ryu's algorithm has good features that it has no data association problem and simple structure. But its performance is seriously degraded in the low signal-to-noise ratio, and it uses the angular measurement obtained from the signal subspace of sampling time, even though the signal subspace is continuously updated by the output of sensor array. For improving the tracking performance of Ryu's algorithm, a measurement fusion method is derived based on ML(Maximum Likelihood) in this paper, and it admits us to use the angular measurements obtained form the adjacent signal subspaces as well as the signal subspace of sampling time. The new target angle tracking algorithm is proposed using the derived measurement fusion method. The proposed algorithm has a better tracking performance than that of Ryu's algorithm and it sustains the good features of Ryu's algorithm.

Adequate segmentation of target objects from the background plays an important role for the performance of automatic target recognition(ATR) system. This paper presents a new segmentation algorithm using fuzzy thresholding to extract a target. The proposed algorithm consists of two steps. In the first step, the region of interest(ROI) including the target can be automatically selected by the proposed robust method based on the frame difference of each image sensor. In the second step, fuzzy thresholding with a proposed membership function is performed within the only ROI selected in the first step. The proposed membership function is based on the similarity of intensity and the adjacency of target area on each image. Experimental results applied to real CCD/IR images show a good performance and the proposed algorithm is expected to enhance the performance of ATR system using multi-sensors.

This paper proposes the location estimation techniques of distributed targets with the multi-sensor data perceived through IR sensors of the military robots in consideration of obstacles. In order to match up targets with measured azimuths, to add to the depth-first search (DFS) algorithms in free-obstacle environment, we suggest the expanded DFS (EDS) algorithm including bypass path search, partial path search, middle level ending, and the supplementation of decision metric. After matching up targets with azimuths, we estimate the coordinate of each target by obtaining the intersection point of the azimuths with the least square error (LSE) algorithm. The experimental results show the error rate of estimated location, mean number of calculating nodes, and mean distance between real coordinates and estimated coordinates of the proposed algorithms.

The spectral radiance received by an infrared (IR) sensor is mainly influenced by the surface temperature of the target itself. Therefore, the precise temperature prediction is important for generating an IR target image. In this paper, we implement the combined three-dimensional surface temperature prediction module against target attitudes, environments and properties of a material for generating a realistic IR signal. In order to verify the calculated surface temperature, we are using the well-known IR signature analysis software, OKTAL-SE and compare the result with that. In addition, IR signal modeling is performed using the result of the surface temperature through coupling with OKTAL-SE.

Optoelectronic shooting training systems are used in shooting training sites to improve the accuracy of shooting by tracking the trajectories of gun movements. However, optoelectronic-based systems have limitations in terms of cost, complexity of installation, and the risk that electronic targets may be broken. In this study, we developed and verified a shooting training system that measures postural tremors using a low-cost accelerometer. The acceleration sensor module was designed to be attached to the air cylinder of a gun. Postural tremors were evaluated based on amplitude, frequency, and spatial pattern index, which were computed using acceleration data. The postural tremor indices between the accelerometer and optoelectronic-based system were highly correlated (left-right and up-down directions: r = 0.76 and r = 0.70, respectively). We validated the developed shooting training system using an independent two-sample t-test, which identified a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the calculated postural tremor index according to the athlete's shooting score (i.e., best and worst shots).
