A golf ball collecting robot in a golf ball driving range has been recently required because it is safer and more economic than a human being. In this paper, the golf ball recognition and distance estimation system based on a neural network and OpenCV is developed for the robot. The simulation results show that the recognition ratio is over 87% for the distance of less than 120cm and accurate rate for distance estimation is over 85% for golf balls in 30-180cm from a webcam.

This paper describes a system for location tracking wireless sensor nodes in an indoor environment. The sensor reading used for the location estimation is the received signal strength indication (RSSI) as given by an RF interface. By tagging users with a mobile node and deploying a number of reference nodes at fixed position in the room, the received signal strength indicator can be used to determine the position of tagged users. The system combines Euclidean distance technique with signal strength obtained by measurement driven log-normal path loss model of 2.4 GHz wireless channel. The experimental results demonstrated the ability of this system to estimate the location with a error less than 1.3m.

In matched field processing (MEP), the observed acoustic field data is basically correlated with the replica produced by the modeling. therefore the results of source localization and correlation is limited by the mismatch of the environment and sensor location. In this paper. the effects of mismatch in environment and system on the bias in estimating the source location are investigated in the context of source localization. In the Pekeris waveguide, the simulation shows that the mismatches in environment and system, can cause a significant biases in the source localization and a degradation in MFP correlation. Mismatch caused by uncertainties in array tilt and depth, bottom depth, bottom sound speed, etc. causes degradation in source localization performance.

Various studies such as INS(: Inertial Navigation System) are conducting to estimate the position of UAV, because the GPS information of UAV is at risk like the GPS jamming. The position estimation using DoA and RTT are used to apply many radar systems, and that process can be applied in datalink of UAV. The general monopulse feed in UAV datalink is Multi-horn, because of the wide BW(: Band Width) and frequency range. And it needs wide SNR range of tracking because of the limited transmit power of airborne unit. The estimation error of position increase at low SNR, and the DoA is valid in only 3dB beam width but high SNR causes false of mainlobe detection because of large sidelobe. In this paper, We propose the method to achieve higher accuracy of DoA estimation on low SNR and review some idea that able to detect mainlobe.

This paper is aimed at developing an location tracking system of mobile station based on currently available mobile communication network or mobile Phone and PCS(Personal Communication System). When the location tracking of mobile stations is in services, Emergency-119, all of crime investigation, effective urban traffic management and the safety protection of Alzheimer＇s patients can be available. In order to track the location of the mobile and base station, assumption in this paper is to use the statistic characteristics of LOS when modeling the standard noise in case that radio path is LNOS environment. The standard variation of the standard noise is $\pm150$. First, location is estimated by the positioning algorithms of TOA and TDOA and compared each other. Second, after canceling the standard noise by Kalman filter, location is estimated by the above two positioning algorithms. Finally, the location by the Kalman filter and two positioning algorithms is estimated by smoothing method. As a result, 2 dimensional average location error is imvoved by 51.2m in TOA and 34.8m in TDOA when Kalman filer and two positioning algorithms are used, compared with the two positioning algorithm used. And there is 3 more meter improvement after smoothing than Kalman filer and two positioning algorithms used.

In this paper an ESPRIT-based super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm is developed for real-time locating system (RTLS) and its performance is analyzed in various multipath environments. The performance of the existing correlation method for time delay estimation seriously degrades in multipath environments where the relative time delays of multipath signals are less than a PN chip. To solve the problem we shall develop a frequency domain super-resolution time delay estimation algorithm using the ESPRIT, the most representative super-resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm, and analyze its performance in various multipath environments.

홍수 발생 시 제내지에 존재하는 도로 및 상·하수도시설물은 저지대를 중심으로 생성되는 침수지역이 아닌 대부분 집중호우, 태풍으로 인해 발생한 유출량이 지표면 유출로 이어져 지면 경사를 따라 유하하면서 흐름을 방해하거나 노후된 시설물 등에서 피해가 발생한다. 이러한 피해발생 특성을 고려하여 홍수피해액을 추정하기에는 침수면적과 시설물 현황 등을 활용하는 기존의 손실 함수 개발 방법으로는 부족한 부분이 존재하며, 유수 흐름의 주요 인자인 침수심, 유속 등과 같은 수리특성을 고려하여 시설물에 대한 홍수피해액을 추정하는 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수리특성을 고려한 시설물의 홍수피해액을 추정하기 위한 손실함수를 개발하고자 국가재난정보관리시스템(NDMS) DB에서 해당 시설물의 상세주소를 이용하여 피해 발생위치와 피해액을 파악하였으며, 2차원 수리해석 모형인 FLO-2D를 활용하여 시설물의 피해위치에서 발생된 수리특성 인자인 침수심과 유속을 분석하였다. 시설물의 단위면적 당 피해액을 종속변수로, 분석된 평균 침수심과 평균 유속을 독립변수로 선정한 후 변수 자료들의 신뢰성과 함수의 설명력을 향상시키기 위하여 이상자료들을 제거한 후 손실함수를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 손실함수는 수리특성 인자인 침수심과 유속에 의하여 홍수피해액을 직접적으로 추정하는 방법으로 향후 홍수재해에 대한 사전 재산피해 추정을 통하여 합리적인 선제적 예방조치 등의 홍수재해 예방 활동 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Due to advances in position monitoring technologies such as global positioning systems and sensor networks, recent position information of moving objects has the form of streaming data which are updated continuously and rapidly. In this paper we propose an efficient trajectory maintenance method that stores the streaming position data of moving objects in the limited size of storage space and estimates past positions based on the stored data. For this, we first propose a new concept of incremental extraction of position information. The incremental extraction means that, whenever a new position is added into the system, we incrementally re-compute the new version of past position data maintained in the system using the current version of past position data and the newly added position. Next, based on the incremental extraction, we present an overall framework that stores position information and estimates past positions in the stream environment. We then propose two polynomial-based methods, line-based and curve-based methods, as the method of estimating the past positions on the framework. We also propose three incremental extraction methods: equi-width, slope-based, and recent-emphasis extraction methods. Experimental results show that the proposed incremental extraction provides the relatively high accuracy (error rate is less than 3%) even though we maintain only a little portion (only 0.1%) of past position information. In particular, the curve-based incremental extraction provides very low error rate of 1.5% even storing 0.1% of total position data. These results indicate that our incremental extraction methods provide an efficient framework for storing the position information of moving objects and estimating the past positions in the stream environment.

Visible light communication system transmits data by controlling light emission of LED and receives data through photo detecter, which is considered as one of strong candidates of next generation wireless communication systems. The transmission capacity of visible light communication system depends on light intensity emitted from LED, sensitivity of PD, distance between transmitter and receiver, angle of incidence at the receiver. In particular, the receiver's vertical and horizontal movement changes distance between transmitter and receiver and angle of incidence, which may degrades transmission capacity of system. In this paper, we propose an estimation algorithm of receiver's position and angle based on tracking of received light intensity for indoor visible light communication systems. The performance evaluation of proposed algorithm confirms that the estimation algorithm of receiver's position and angle is quite important for visible light communication system to improve its transmission capacity.
