This paper considers a linear regression model with a spatial autoregressive disturbance with ill-posed data and proposes the generalized maximum entropy(GME) estimator of regression coefficients. The performance of this estimator is investigated via Monte Carlo experiments. The results show that the GME estimator provides efficient and robust estimate for the unknown parameter.

This research estimated stream discharges indirectly by hydraulic channel routing. Only stage data from three stage stations and river cross section data were used to estimate Manning roughness coefficients and to compute stream discharges. When the discharges were estimated a stage-stage set of conditions was used for upstream-downstream boundary conditions. The research used the data from the upper Mississippi River. The hydraulic channel routings were performed by DWOPER (operational dynamic wave model). The global optimization program of SCE-UA was used to improve the roughness coefficient estimation module of the modified Newton-Raphson method in DWOPER. The results from SCE-US were better. For the case study of a flood, most estimated discharges except a few show errors within 10%.

In this paper, we propose a range-free localization method that can improve the estimation accuracy of Approximate Point in Triangle(APIT), which is the representative localization method for low cost wireless sensor networks. Specifically, we propose extended-APIT(e-APIT) method, which minimizes the error in deciding whether an object is in an area formed by three beacons. We also propose a way to improve the localization by narrowing down the potential localization area using the signals from neighboring beacons. According to the simulation performed, the proposed e-APIT method demonstrated noticeable accuracy improvement over the conventional APIT method.

In order to obtain high-quality images by motion compensation in the airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), accurate motion sensing in image acquisition section is necessary. Especially, reducing relative position error and discontinuity in motion sensing is important. To overcome the problem, we propose a pre-parametric error modeling (P-PEM) algorithm which is a real-time motion sensing algorithm for the airborne SAR in this paper. P-PEM is an extended version of parametric error modeling (PEM) method which is a motion sensing algorithm to mitigate the errors in the previous work. PEM estimates polynomial coefficients of INS error which can be assumed as a polynomial in the short term. Otherwise, P-PEM estimates polynomial coefficients in advance and uses at image acquisition section. Simulation results show that the P-PEM reduces relative position error and discontinuity effectively in real-time.

The goal of this paper is to develop freeway Origin-Destination (OD) demand estimation model using real-time traffic data collected from Freeway Traffic Management System (FTMS). In existing research, the micro-simulation models had been used to get a link distribution proportion by time process. Because of hi-level problem between the traffic flow model and the optimal OD solution algorithm, it is difficult for the existing models to be loaded at FTMS. The formulation of methodology proposed in this paper includes traffic flow technique to be able to remove the bi-level problem and optimal solution algorithm using a genetic algorithm. The proposed methodology is evaluated by using the real-time data of SOHAEAN freeway, South Korea.

It is necessary to determine accurate 3-dimensional coordinates of the building corner points that could be control or check points in order to verify the accuracy of 3D digital maps in the near future. The usual process of obtaining the coordinates of the building corner points is to set up the ground control points with a GPS and then to practice terrestrial survey such as distance or angle measurements. However, since an error in the ground control points can be propagated through the terrestrial survey into the final coordinates of the buildings, accurately should be considered as much as possible. The actual effect of the GPS-derived ground control point error on the estimates of the unknowns through the terrestrial survey is mathematically analyzed, and the simulation data is tested numerically. The error of the ground control points is tested in the cases of 1-4 cm for the horizontal components and 2-8 cm for the vertical component. The vertical component error is assigned twice the horizontal ones because of the characteristics of the GPS survey. The distance measurement is assumed for convenience and the precision of the estimated coordinates of the building corner points is almost linearly increased according to the errors of the ground control points. In addition, the final estimates themselves can vary by the simulated random errors depending on the precision of the survey instrument, but the precision of the estimates is almost independent of survey accuracy.

KOMPSAT-3A launched in 2015 provides Middle InfraRed(MIR) images with 3.3~5.2㎛. Though the satellite provide high resolution images for estimating bright temperature of ground objects, it is different from existing satellites developed for natural science purposes. An atmospheric compensation process is essential in order to estimate the surface brightness temperature from a single channel MIR image of KOMPSAT-3A. However, even after the atmospheric compensation process, there is a brightness temperature error due to various factors. In this paper, we analyzed the cause of the brightness temperature estimation error by tracking signal flow from camera physical characteristics to image processing. Also, we study on possibility of improvement of MIR brightness temperature bias error of KOMPSAT-3A using GEOKOMPSAT-2A. After bias compensation of a real nighttime image with a large bias error, it was confirmed that the surface brightness temperature of KOMPSAT-3A and GEOKOMPSAT-2A have correlation. We expect that the GEOKOMPSAT-2A images will be helpful to improve MIR brightness temperature bias error of KOMPSAT-3A.

UWB signal with high resolution capability can be used to estimate ranging and positioning in wireless personal area network. The node works on its local clock and the frequency differences of nodes have serious affects on ranging algorithms estimating locations of mobile nodes. The low rate UWB, IEEE802.15.4a, describes asynchronous two way ranging methods such as TWR and SDS-TWR working without any additional network synchronization, but the algorithms can not eliminate the effect of clock frequency differences. Therefore, the mechanisms to characterize the crystal difference is essential in typical UWB PHY implementations. In high rate UWB, characterizing of crystal offset with tracking loop is not required. But, detection of the clock frequency offset between the local clock and remote clock can be performed if there is little noise induced jitter. In this paper, we complete related ranging equations of high rate UWB based on TWR with relative frequency offset, and analyze a residual error in the ideal equations. We also evaluate the performance of the relative frequency offset algorithm by simulation and analyze the ranging errors according to the number of TWR to compensate coarse clock resolution. The results show that the relative frequency offset compensation and many times of TWR enhance the performance to converge to a limited ranging errors even with coarse clock resolutions.

This paper addresses the problem of moving object localization using Ultra-Wide-Band(UWB) range measurement and the method of location accuracy improvement of the indoor moving object. Unlike outdoor environment, it is difficult to track moving object position due to various noises in indoor. UWB is a radio technology that has attention for localization applications recently. UWB's ranging technique offer the cm accuracy. Its capabilities for data transmission, range accurate estimation and material penetration are suitable technology for indoor positioning application. This paper propose a positioning algorithm of an moving object using UWB ranging technique and particle filter. Existing positioning algorithms eliminate estimation errors and bias after location estimation of mobile object. But in this paper, the proposed algorithm is that eliminate predictable UWB range distance error first and then estimate the moving object's position. This paper shows that the proposed positioning algorithm is more accurate than existing location algorithms through experiments. In this study, the position of moving object is estimated after the triangulation and eliminating the bias and the ranging error from estimation range between three fixed known anchors and a mobile object using UWB. Finally, a particle filter is used to improve on accuracy of mobile object positioning. The results of experiment show that the proposed localization scheme is more precise under the indoor.

Underwater active target detection is vital for defense systems, requiring accurate detection and estimation of distance and velocity. Sequential transmission is necessary at each beam angle, but divided pulse length leads to range ambiguity. Multi-frequency transmission results in time-bandwidth product losses when bandwidth is divided. To overcome these problem, we propose a novel method using Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulation (GSFM) for rapid target detection, enabling low-correlation pulses between subpulses without bandwidth division. The proposed method allows for rapid updates of the distance and velocity of target by employing GSFM with minimized pulse length. To evaluate our method, we simulated an underwater environment with reverberation. In the simulation, a linear frequency modulation of 0.05 s caused an average distance estimation error of 50 % and a velocity estimation error of 103 % due to limited frequency band. In contrast, GSFM accurately and quickly tracked targets with distance and velocity estimation errors of 10 % and 14 %, respectively, even with pulses of the same length. Furthermore, GSFM provided approximate azimuth information by transmitting highly orthogonal subpulses for each azimuth.
