A GPS based wave height meter system is proposed in this paper. The proposed system uses a dual-frequency measurements, a precise GPS satellite information and a PPP-based navigation algorithm to estimate the position with high accuracy. This method does not need to receive corrections from the reference stations. Therefore, unlike RTK based wave meter, regardless of the distance to the reference stations, it is possible to estimate position with high accuracy. This system is very simple and accurate system, but accelerometer-based system requires the other sensors such as GPS. Because position error is accumulated in the accelerometer system and must be removed periodically for high accuracy. In order to get the measurements and test the proposed wave height meter system, a buoy equipped with the test platform is installed on the sea near by Jukbyeon habor in Uljin, Korea. Then, to evaluate the performance, compares built-in commercial wave height meter with proposed system.

Various researches on moving object modeling, uncertainty processing, and moving object indexing have been tarried out in the field of moving object databases. However. previous location tracking systems cannot efficiently retrieve location data of vehicles, because they manage all location information of vehicles using the conventional database. In this paper, we design the vehicle location management systen that is able to manage and retrieve vehicle locations efficiently in mobile environment. The proposed system consists of a server for managing vehicle locations and mobile clients. The system is able to not only process spatiotemporal queries related to locations of moving vehicles but also Provide moving vehicles' locations which are not stored in the system. The system is also able to manage vehicle location data effectively using a moving object index.

It is very important to reduce the computational processing time for the application of the vision system in real time such as inspection, the determination of object's dimension and welding etc, because the vision system model involves a lot of measurement data acquired by CCD camera. Also, a lot of computation time is required in estimating the parameters in the vision system model if the iterative batch estimation method such as Newton Raphson is used. Thus, the effective computation method such as the Extended Kalman Filtering(EKF) is required to solve the above problems. The EKF has much advantages in that it takes explicitly into account the measurement uncertainties, and is a simple and efficient recursive procedures. Thus, this study is to develop the EKF algorithm to compute the parameters in the vision system model in real time. This vision system model involves the six parameters to account for the cameras inner and outer parameters. Also the EKF is applied to estimate the object's dimension. Finally, practicality of the estimation scheme of the vision system based on the EKF is verified experimently by performing the estimation of object's dimension.

알려진바 한 해 우리나라에서 200여 건 이상의 차량 급발진으로 추청 되는 사고(Sudden Unintended Acceleration, SUA)가 발생하지만 지금까지 명확하게 급발진으로 추정되는 사고의 원인을 밝혀내지 못해 사고를 당한 운전자는 막대한 정신적, 물질적 피해를 보고 있다. 이에 차량의 급발진으로 추정되는 사고 시 차량의 상태 및 원인 파악을 위하여 차량 내 설치되는 OBD-II(On Board Diagnostics-II)와 운전자의 발쪽을 촬영하는 Foot Camera를 이용하여 통합 블랙박스 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 지금까지의 블랙박스 시스템은 단순히 사고 시 영상을 촬영 저장하여 운전자에게 보여 주는 장치라면 현재 구현하려는 통합시스템은 블랙박스 자체에서 이동 통신을 통한 차량데이터 실시간 서버 전송 및 스마트 폰과 스마트 패드의 앱(App)으로 OBD-II와 메인서버와의 통신을 통해 사용자 차량의 현재 상태, 차량의 이상 유무, 소모품 교환 시기, 차량사고 시 영상 및 급발진 추정 시 차량상태, 위치, 이동거리, 운전자의 발쪽 영상 저장 및 재생 등 사용자가 필요로 하는 다양한 기능과 정보들을 블랙박스 하나로 통합하여 구현 할 것이다. 이 시스템이 개발되면 차량 관리에 서툰 여성 운전자들, 좀 더 체계적이고 손쉽게 내 차 정보를 원하는 운전자들과 전 세계 자동차 소비자들의 관심사인 급발진에 대한 사고 분석이 정확해 질 것으로 여겨진다.

Computing environment is evolving rapidly to ubiquitous environment. It thus makes people access and utilize any resource on the move and makes location of objects rise to the rank of the most important information. However provision of location information is too restrictive in small environments such as a home or building. In this paper we propose a home entertainment system which supports user mobility based on sensor networks and distributed devices. The proposed system estimates a user location by using signal strength received from Bluetooth ad-hoc networks. This estimated location information can tell which device a user can take advantage of while moving. In order to prove possibility of user mobility support, the system is implemented on our UPnP A/V framework home entertainment system to provide content streaming and the result shows that a provision of service for mobile users could be possible in small ubiquitous computing environments.

In this paper, we propose an audio surveillance system which can detect and localize dangerous sounds in real-time. The location information about dangerous sounds can render a PTZ camera to be directed so as to catch a snapshot image about the dangerous sound source area and send it to clients instantly. The proposed audio surveillance system firstly detects foreground sounds based on adaptive Gaussian mixture background sound model, and classifies it into one of pre-trained classes of foreground dangerous sounds. For detected dangerous sounds, a sound source localization algorithm based on Dual delay-line algorithm is applied to localize the sound sources. Finally, the proposed system renders a PTZ camera to be oriented towards the dangerous sound source region, and take a snapshot against over the sound source region. Experiment results show that the proposed system can detect foreground dangerous sounds stably and classifies the detected foreground dangerous sounds into correct classes with a precision of 79% while the sound source localization can estimate orientation of the sound source with acceptably small error.

Collisions of nearby ships are reported frequently because of bad weathers. A lot of efforts, using radar warning or other navigation security devices, were given to reduce the collisions, but the number of accidents could not be reduced. The main cause is that the ship personel are not watching carefully. In the paper, we propose a novel technique estimating the locations of nearby ships from their whistle blast and delivering the location information using mobile phones. We realized the technique using LabVIEW and showed its usefulness.

We propose an algorithm for video effects of sports broadcasting that informs TV viewers of a sports player's sequential performing forms and locus in detail when gymnastic game such as 'vault' is broadcasted. It records the image sequences while a player is performing, extracts only the player's performing forms from background scenes by a proposed algorithm, superposes them sequentially on a background scene, and broadcasts them with slow speed. This system named as 'Multi-Motion' has ever been used in NHK live broadcasting for 1995 World Gymnastics Championships held in Japan.

Since SBAS provides users with GNSS orbit, clock, and ionospheric corrections and integrity, the more precise positioning is possible. As the SBAS service area is expanded due to the development of the SBAS and the installation of the additional ground stations, there is a region where two or more SBAS messages can be received. However, the research on multi-constellation SBAS selection method has not carried out. In this study, we compared the result of positioning accuracy after applying the SBAS correction selected by using WAAS priority, EGNOS priority, or error covariance comparison method to LEO satellites in the regions where WAAS and EGNOS signals are transmitted simultaneously. When using WAAS priority method, 3D orbit error is smallest at 2.57 m. The covariance comparison method is outperform at the center of the overlap region far from each WAAS and EGNOS stations. In the eastern region near the EGNOS stations, the 3D orbit errors using EGNOS priority method is 8% smaller than the errors using the WAAS priority method.

Selectivity estimation is one of the query optimization techniques. It is difficult for the previous selectivity estimation techniques for moving objects to apply the position change of moving objects to synopsis. Therefore, they result in much error when estimating selectivity for queries, because they are based on the extended spatial synopsis which does not consider the property of the moving objects. In order to reduce the estimation error, the existing techniques should often rebuild the synopsis. Consequently problem occurs, that is, the whole database should be read frequently. In this paper, we proposed a moving object histogram method based on quad tree to develop a selectivity estimation technique for moving object queries. We then analyzed the performance of the proposed method through the implementation and evaluation of the proposed method. Our method can be used in various location management systems such as vehicle location tracking systems, location based services, telematics services, emergency rescue service, etc in which the location information of moving objects changes over time.
