This study aims to develop a system that maximizes the radiative heat transfer from the heliostat to the receiver by using the configuration factor and a solar tracking device. As the heat transfer from the heliostat to the receiver is delivered by solar radiation, the configuration factor commonly utilized for radiation is applied to control the heliostat. Tracking the sun and calculating its position are possible by using an illuminance sensor (CdS) and Simulink. By applying optimized algorithms programmed using Simulink that maximize the configuration factors among the heliostat, receiver, and sun in real time, the solar absorption efficiency of the receiver can be maximized. Simulations were performed on how to change the angle required to control the elevation and azimuthal angle of the heliostat during the daytime with respect to various distances.

The research and development for autonomous mobile robots has widely been reported. This paper describes a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system for an autonomous mobile robot. An existing system always needs to keep a moving object in overall image. This makes difficult to move the autonomous mobile robot spontaneously. In this paper we first explain an autonomous mobile robot and fuzzy logic system. And then we design a fuzzy logic based visual servoing system. We extract some features of the object from an overall image and then design a fuzzy logic system for controlling the visual servoing system to an exact position. We here introduce a shooting robot that can track an object and hit it. We show that the proposed system presents a desirable performance by a computer simulation and some experiments.

As recent research on home service robot has been performed actively in these days. It becomes very important for the robot to react upon voice and sound source, and then tracks an object position in dynamic environment like a home. When people choose a path for finding a destination of objects, in case of sound, they track a direction of the sound source. Or in case as a position of the object be girded with a point on map, people track the position according to absolute orientation of the present position and the sound source position. In this paper, In this manner we had views on what people decide own direction when they react one's voice or go some directions. We suggest a algorithm that intelligent mobile robots on which we installed a sound source tracking board and a digital magnetic compass board go some object's positions by the direction of sound source and absolute orientation.

There are several ways such as GPS(Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) to track the location of moving vehicle. The GPS has the advantages of having non-accumulative error even if it brings about errors. In order to obtain the position information, we need to receive at least 3 satellites information. But, the weak point is that GPS is not useful when the 혠 signal is weak or it is in the incommunicable region such as tunnel. In the case of INS, the information of the position and posture of mobile with several Hz~several hundreds Hz data speed is recorded for velocity, direction. INS shows a very precise navigational performance for a short period, but it has the disadvantage of increasing velocity components because of the accumulated error during integration over time. In this paper, sensor fusion algorithm is applied to both of INS and GPS for the position information to overcome the drawbacks. The proposed system gets an accurate position information from experiment using SVD in a non-accessible GPS terrain.

The radar operated to detect/track aircraft targets is divided into a search radar that operates while the antenna rotating device rotates for the purpose of detecting the target according to the mission characteristics, and a tracking radar that periodically steers and tracks a beam to the predicted position of the target. The tracking radar has a shorter target information acquisition preiod than the search radar. Due to this characteristic, the tracking accuracy is better than that of the search radar, but as the prediction error increases due to the speed error at the beginning of the tracking, there are many cases in which tracking fails at the beginning of tracking due to failure to perform beam steering normally. In this paper, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, we propose an algorithm for improving the accuracy of track initiation using radial velocity measurements in addition to the position of the measured, and confirm the performance of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the two point differential algorithm

This study relates to a method and device for extracting and tracking moving objects. In particular, objects are extracted using different images between adjacent images, and the location information of the extracted object is continuously transmitted to provide accurate location information of at least one moving object. It relates to a method and device for extracting and tracking moving objects based on tracking moving objects. People tracking, which started as an expression of the interaction between people and computers, is used in many application fields such as robot learning, object counting, and surveillance systems. In particular, in the field of security systems, cameras are used to recognize and track people to automatically detect illegal activities. The importance of developing a surveillance system, that can detect, is increasing day by day.

최근 PC 기반의 새로운 입력장치인 키넥트(Kinect) 센서에 대한 연구사 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 키넥트 센서의 가장 큰 이점은 2차원 평면 영상정보에 대하여 새롭게 추가된 깊이(Depth) 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 것이다. 이것은 이전에 등장했던 다른 인터페이스보다 새로운 차원의 인터페이스로서 2차원의 영상 정보로부터 한 차원 확장된 3차원의 정보를 활용할 수 있다는 점에서 그 의미가 크다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 2차원 영상정보와 추가된 깊이 정보를 활용하여 사람의 영상정보와 사람의 위치 정보를 활용하여 위치한 환경의 조명을 제어할 수 있도록 시스템을 구성하였다. 또한, 키넥트의 다양한 성능을 검토하기위하여 3개의 키넥트를 사용하였으며 중첩된 영상정보를 30%의 중복도를 가지도록 구성하여 다양한 활용가능성을 검토하였다. 구현한 시스템을 통하여 사람을 추적할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 개발하고, 추적된 사람의 위치 정보를 통하여 LED 조명을 제어할 수 있는 키넥트 기반의 조명제어 시스템을 제시하고자 한다.

Wireless sensor network plays a prominent role in tracking the location of the target outdoor and indoor. This paper describes the implementation of the passive indoor location tracking system using ultrasonic and RF technologies that provides accurate location in the form of user space and position in three dimensions. Our system used a combination of RF and ultrasonic technologies to provide a location-support service to users and applicants. Ceiling-mounted beacons were spread through the building, publishing location information on an RF signal. The person carried a listener and the listener determined the location by calculating the distance from three beacons using triangulation algorithm.

앞으로 개발되는 각종 첨단 무기체계에서의 고도정밀 자동화 추세에 비추어 볼때, 전자광학 추적기(EOTS)는 필수적인 위치를 점하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 국내에서도 EOTS를 사격통제 장비로 채택한 무기체계가 일부운용 및 개발되고 있으나, 그 대부분을 선진기술에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. EOTS는 전자, 신소재, 광학, 컴퓨터 등의 첨단 핵심기술이 복합 응용된 분야로서 우리가 반드시 확보해야할 기술이며, 이에 대한 장기적인 기술육성이 절실히 요망된다
