A fundamental characteristic of PMHT (Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis Tracker) is that the number of targets and initial states of targets in the surveillance area must be a priori known. This requirement is impossible to fulfil in almost every realistic scenario. In the paper, we present two track initiation methods to solve the problem. The proposed track initiation methods are 2-point track initiation and Hough transform track initiation, and they are used to evaluate track initial states and weights for FTD (False Track Discrimination) of the PMHT algorithm. Also suggested as automatic target detection for tracking systems that combines track initiation for target detection with the PMHT algorithm for target tracking in a cluttered environment. A series of Monte-Carlo simulation runs is employed to evaluate the overall system performance with the two track initiation methods and the results are compared and analyzed.

A precision magnetic field was generated by the NMR magnetometer and electromagnet system. The current and field feedback systems are used to control of magnetic field in the electromagnet using computer. Stability of magnetic field according to results that compare field and current feedback, current method is better than 2 times. The stability of magnetic field with current feedback improved 10 times compared with no feedback. This system is used for the calibration of magnetometers and the testing related to magnetic fields.

This paper presents the development of laser scanner based static obstacle detection algorithm for vehicle localization on lane lost section. On urban autonomous driving, vehicle localization is based on lane information, GPS and digital map is required to ensure. However, in actual urban roads, the lane data may not come in due to traffic jams, intersections, weather conditions, faint lanes and so on. For lane lost section, lane based localization is limited or impossible. The proposed algorithm is designed to determine the lane existence by using reliability of front vision data and can be utilized on lane lost section. For the localization, the laser scanner is used to distinguish the static object through estimation and fusion process based on the speed information on radar data. Then, the laser scanner data are clustered to determine if the object is a static obstacle such as a fence, pole, curb and traffic light. The road boundary is extracted and localization is performed to determine the location of the ego vehicle by comparing with digital map by detection algorithm. It is shown that the localization using the proposed algorithm can contribute effectively to safe autonomous driving.

전장환경에서 헬기는 헬기생존체계의 다양한 센서를 통하여 수집한 데이터를 기반으로 헬기에 대한 위협을 식별한다. 헬기의 성공적인 임무 수행 및 생존을 위하여 헬기에 대한 위협을 반복적으로 확인할 수 있는 시뮬레이터의 구현은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 (1) 헬기의 센서가 수신하는 위협요소를 정의하는 온톨로지 생성기, (2) 전장환경과 유사한 위협을 다양한 분포로 생성하는 위협자료 생성기 및 (3) 다양한 전장 시나리오에서 센서들이 수집한 데이터를 통합하여 위협의 방향과 정도를 사용자에게 실시간으로 보여주는 그래픽 화면표시기를 개발한다. 구현한 헬기의 다중센서 위협 시뮬레이터는 다양한 위협을 생성하는 자동 시나리오 생성기를 이용하여 위협 개체의 탐지 및 분류를 반복적으로 수행한다. 위협 시뮬레이터를 활용한 실험에서 동일한 위협에 대한 통합 정확도를 측정하였다.

Numerical simulations were carried out for a fire in a clean room to confirm needs of a smoke control system and a sprinkler system, and to investigate a possible smoke spread-out. For a 1 MW methanol fire in a space of $39m{\times}13m$ floor and 4 m high, smoke spread-out was scrutinized for failure of the sprinkler system and/or the smoke control system. It was shown that the smoke control system removes smoke safely without the sprinkler system and that the sprinkler system is required to suppress smoke generation and spread of the fire, and to remove the smoke quickly. It was also confirmed that highly reliable sprinkler heads and automatic fire detection system are required for the sprinkler and smoke control systems.

본 논문에서는 원자력 발전소용 이더넷 기반 링형 실시간 제어 통신망인 ERCNet(Ethernet-based Real-Time Control Network)에서 고신뢰성을 유지하기 위한 결함 허용 방법들을 제시한다. 임의의 노드의 프로그램 동작에 이상(fault)이 발생하였을 경우, 와치독(Watchdog) 타이머로 탐지하여 링을 자동 복구하고, 그 노드가 다시 회복될 경우의 노드 추가 메커니즘을 제안한다. 이 메커니즘은 한 노드가 전체 네트워크에서 제외되거나 추가될지라도 네트워크가 운용성(operability)을 유지할 수 있도록 한다. 두 번째로, 한 채널 또는 양 채널 에러 발생시 이 에러를 대처하기 위한 채널 이중화 방식과 시스템 이중화 방식에 대해 제안한다. 마지막으로 통신망의 임의의 위치에서 이상이 발생했을 경우 그 발생 위치를 파악할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제안한다.

Currently, domestic architecture has applied the building fire-fighting equipments to most buildings except conventional houses, villas and facilities, and so on. However, the use of fire-fighting equipments what are not working properly result in a human life and property damages consistently like a fire of Icheon warehouse facilities, Korea cold storage, the tragic incident of subway in Daegu and the recent issue of a fire in the high-rise efficiency apartment, etc. In this study, I'm trying to seek solutions by taking research on the actual condition of fire alarming system, fire escaping equipment, Indoor Fire Hydrant Installation.

The electronics factory fire, that occurred at 15:40 on August 21, 2018, killed nine people and injured six. This study analyzes the causes of many of the casualties from the fire, and is based on fire investigation results and so on. The findings suggest that major causes included failure of the automatic alarm system to function, failure of the emergency broadcasting system to function, the fire suddenly spreading due to polyurethane foam in a ceiling on the 4thfloor, a power outage immediately after the fire started, a sprinkler system that was not working, a delay in reporting the fire, and improper management of fire facilities by a fire safety management company.

There will come someday when UAUs can fly into the airspace of manned aircraft in the near future because of the increasing number of operational UAUs together with technologies development. Since pilots of UAVs are on the gound, the equipment for sensing and avoiding obstacles in front is indispensable. In this paper, we analyze functions and interfaces of TCAS II, a collision avoidance device for manned aircraft, then find out whether it is suitable for the collision avoidance device for UAV and problems associated with it, if any. It turns out to be that the onboard directional antenna of TCAS II does not provide a precise directional information, and that the TCAS II is not assumed to be installed alone, but used as supplementary with other device which provides the better precision.
