A scheme of IESFVSC(Integral Error State Feedback Variable Structure Controller) is proposed for a DC servo position control system with the disturbances which do not satisfy the matching condition. The proposed control system is composed of servo compensator and state feedback VSC. The servo compensator enhances the robustness of the control system against various types of disturbance, and makes effective tracking possible without using error dynamics. The IESFVSC is applied to the practical design of a robust DC servo control system and the control performances are verified through theoretical analyses and simulations.

In this paper, monovision based relative navigation for a satellite proximity operation is studied. The chaser satellite only uses one camera sensor to observe the target satellite and conducts image tracking to obtain the target pose information. However, by using only mono-vision, it is hard to get the depth information which is related to the relative distance to the target. In order to resolve the well-known difficulty in computing the depth information with the use of a single camera, the active contour method is adopted for the image tracking process. The active contour method provides the size of target image, which can be utilized to indirectly calculate the relative distance between the chaser and the target. 3D virtual reality is used in order to model the space environment where two satellites make relative motion and produce the virtual camera images. The unscented Kalman filter is used for the chaser satellite to estimate the relative position of the target in the process of glideslope approaching. Closed-loop simulations are conducted to analyze the performance of the relative navigation with the active contour method.

능동 시각 시스템은 카메라 시선 방향을 조정할 수 있는 장치로, 기존의 고정식 스테레오 카메라가 가질 수 없는 여러 가지 장점으로 인해 최근 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 능동 시각 시스템을 이용하여 움직이는 물체를 추적하는 경우, 목표 위치가 제어 주기마다 바뀌게 되는데 이 때 시스템의 현재 속도를 고려하지 않는다면, 급격한 속도의 변화로 인해 저크(jerk)가 크게 발생하게 된다. 저크는 물체 추적 성능에도 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 전원단의 잡음 발생을 유발시켜 제어기의 동작을 방해하며, 시스템에 기계적인 손상을 주기도 한다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위해 기존의 방법들은 스플라인이나 고차 다항식의 계산 방법을 사용하였으나 계산량의 복잡도로 인해 다축 제어가 필요한 능동 시각 시스템에서 구현하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 삼각 함수를 이용한 종(bell) 모양의 속도 프로파일을 이용해서 저크 탄생을 억제할 수 있는 제어기 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 간단한 계산량으로 저가의 마이크로프로세서에서도 실시간으로 동작이 가능하며 임의의 시점에 임의의 속도로 움직이고 있는 시스템에 저크를 최소화할 수 있는 지령 속도를 만들어 낼 수 있다. 제안된 방법은 시뮬레이션과 실제 시스템에 적용하여 그 유용성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a method to find a target using UAVs in LoRa communication environment. The proposed method proposes a UAV flight path so that the target signal can be found without blind spots. The flight path was changed by using the intensity of the transmitted signal during the flight using the variation of the signal strength. We verified the proposed method by simulation and confirmed that it takes a long time to track the target, although the efficiency of the 3 flights is high. It is best to fly three UAVs to reduce time to find target and increase efficiency when the time is a critical factor. The LoRa communication lowers the production cost and makes it possible to construct the system at low cost.

The accuracy of small and low cost CCD camera is insufficient to provide data for precisely tracking unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs). This study shows how UAV can hover on a human targeted tracking object by using CCD camera rather than imprecise GPS data. To realize this, UAVs need to recognize their attitude and position in known environment as well as unknown environment. Moreover, it is necessary for their localization to occur naturally. It is desirable for an UAV to estimate of his attitude by environment recognition for UAV hovering, as one of the best important problems. In this paper, we describe a method for the attitude of an UAV using image information of a maker on the floor. This method combines the observed position from GPS sensors and the estimated attitude from the images captured by a fixed camera to estimate an UAV. Using the a priori known path of an UAV in the world coordinates and a perspective camera model, we derive the geometric constraint equations which represent the relation between image frame coordinates for a marker on the floor and the estimated UAV's attitude. Since the equations are based on the estimated position, the measurement error may exist all the time. The proposed method utilizes the error between the observed and estimated image coordinates to localize the UAV. The Kalman filter scheme is applied for this method. its performance is verified by the image processing results and the experiment.

This paper presented a location and attitude estimation scheme of a capsule endoscope based on ultrasonic ranging. The scheme comprised eight on-capsule ultrasonic sensors to alleviate measurement errors due to irregularities in human body ultrasonic characteristics. It calculated the coordinate values and angles in a Cartesian coordinate system. The Matlab simulation reflecting random errors yielded the average deviations of 0.8mm in the location and $0.2^{\circ}$ in the attitude angle. These values are far smaller than normal intestine movement ranges inside human body, and will contribute accurate diagnosis of intestine.

The Intelligent Space(ISpace) provides challenging research fields for surveillance, human-computer interfacing, networked camera conferencing, industrial monitoring or service and training applications. ISpace is the space where many intelligent devices, such as computers and sensors, are distributed. According to the cooperation of many intelligent devices, the environment, it is very important that the system knows the location information to offer the useful services. In order to achieve these goals, we present a method for representing, tracking and human Jollowing by fusing distributed multiple vision systems in ISpace, with application to pedestrian tracking in a crowd. This paper describes appearance based unknown object tracking with the distributed vision system in intelligent space. First, we discuss how object color information is obtained and how the color appearance based model is constructed from this data. Then, we discuss the global color model based on the local color information. The process of learning within global model and the experimental results are also presented.

In the case of the emergency call, this service searches the location of caller in real time, and then continues to search the location of caller through the control of CCTV in the searched place, and can provide the several agencies like guardian, police office, fire station, hospitals, relief organizations and municipalities, with the diverse information necessary for the secure rescue through SMS and wired network. In this paper, a new protocol and specification for u-safety service relay system is designed and implemented. The effectiveness of presented protocol is verified by computer simulation. The designed protocol of u-safety service is applied to real 3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile communication networks to verify its performance.

The possibility of replacing the condensing-prism film used in conventional backlight units with a light-guide plate engraved with a submicrometer-periodic diffraction grating was investigated. The optimal period for the diffraction grating was determined through simulation and experiment, and the transmission-mode efficiency of the diffraction grating was calculated in terms of the polar angle and azimuthal angle of the incident light. In addition, the effects of the two methods of optimizing the polar angle and the directional angle were compared by simulation, by suggesting the shape and configuration of the light-guide plate, so that more light could be extracted by diffraction. By using a ray-tracing program, the luminance angular distribution of the light-guide plate engraved with the diffraction grating was calculated and compared to the luminance angular distribution for each actual prototype.
