It is important to secure the driver's external field view in armored vehicles surrounded by iron armor for preparation for the enemy's firepower. For this purpose, a 360 degree rotatable surveillance camera is mounted on the vehicle. In this case, the key idea is to recognize the head of the driver wearing a helmet so that the external camera rotated in exactly the same direction. In this paper, we introduce a method that uses a MEMS-based AHRS sensor and a illuminance sensor to compensate for the disadvantages of the existing optical method and implements it with low cost. The key idea is to set the direction of the camera by using the difference between the Euler angles detected by two sensors mounted on the camera and the helmet, and to adjust the direction with illuminance sensor from time to time to remove the drift error of sensors. The implemented prototype will show the camera's direction matches exactly in driver's one.

In this paper, a 3D position tracking algorithm for a moving objects using a stereo CCD cameras was proposed. This paper purposed the method to extract the coordinates of the moving objects. That is improve the operating and data processing efficiency. We were applied the relative orientation far the stereo CCD cameras and image coordinates extraction in the left and right images after the moving object segmentation. Also, it is decided on 3D position far moving objects using an acquired image coordinates in the left and right images. We were used independent relative orientation to decide the relative location and attitude of the stereo CCD cameras and RGB pixel values to segment the moving objects. To calculate the coordinates of the moving objects by space intersection. And, We conducted the experiment the system and compared the accuracy of the results.

Purpose: In this paper, we propose an indoor positioning scheme based on pedestrian dead reckoning using inertial measurement unit. By minimizing the effects of the orientation error of smart-phone, the more accurate estimation for the direction, the step count, and the stride can be achieved. Method: The effectiveness and the performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by experiments, and it is compared with the conventional scheme in the same conditions. Result: The results showed that the positioning error of the proposed scheme was 0.76m, while that of the conventional scheme was 1.84m. Conclusion: Sine most people carry his/her own smart-phone, the proposed scheme can be helpful to recognize where he/she was and was heading when the fast evacuation is needed in indoors.

Purpose: Regurgitation, vomiting and feeding intolerance are frequent in the neonates. Esophageal function and gastric peristalsis are not fully developed in the neonates, so we should give attention to reduce the incidence of regurgitation and vomiting after feeding. It is necessary to shorten the gastric emptying by change of feeding types and postprandial postures. Gastric emptying time was measured by ultrasound in the neonates to evaluate the effect of feeding types and postprandial postures. Method: We measured gastric antral cross sectional area along the abdominal aorta at the level of the superior mesenteric artery in longitudinal section at NPO state (4 hours after feeding), 0 and every 30 min. after feeding until the value goes below or back to the NPO state. Fifteen neonates were examined in each breast-fed and formula-fed group in supine position. Eighteen and 15 neonates were examined in supine and prone posture after formula feeding, respectively. We used 5 MHz convex prove with Aloka Echo Camera SSD-650. Result: 1) Gastric emptying time of breast-fed infants was $76.0{\pm}20.02$ min. which was significantly shorter than $96.0{\pm}20.28$ min. of formula-fed infants. 2) Gastric emptying time on postprandial prone posture was $85.0{\pm}22.43$ min. which was not significantly different from $96.0{\pm}20.28$ min. on postprandial supine posture. Conclusion: Breast feeding is strongly recommended to the neonates to shorten gastric emptying time. So we can expect to reduce the incidence of regurgitation, vomiting and feeding intolerance. The postprandial posture depends on the traditional trend which is safe and comfortable to the mothers.

2010년 3월 26일 21시 45분경, 백령도 서남쪽 1.6km(1마일)해상에서 대한민국 해군의 초계함 천안함이 원인 미상의 사고로 침몰한 사건이 발생하였다. 이에 연안공학자의 입장에서는 수색 및 구조에 필요한 기초자료인 해상조건들을 제공하고 시뮬레이션을 통한 보다 자세한 예측 및 유추가능한 자료를 제공한다는 것은 뜻깊은 일임에 틀림없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 백령도-대청도 부근해역의 기상, 파랑, 조석 및 조류, 저질, 부유사 상태등을 조사 분석하고 이를 기초로 해역특성을 분석하였다. 사건당시의 유속상황은 소조기(neap tide)-중조기 (mean tide) 사이에 해당하며 3월 26일이 지나고 4월 3~4일까지는 유속이 가장 강한 대조기 (spring tide)가 진행되는 시점으로 수색 및 구조작업에 에로사항이 있는것으로 파악되었다. 또한, 21:00-22:00 경은 낙조가 진행 중에 있기 때문에 물질이동은 남동쪽이 우세할 것으로 보이며 특히, 불규칙한 해저지형으로 인하여 급격한 와류 등이 존재할 것으로 판단되어 입자추적실험을 수행하였다. 수행 결과, 입자는 유속상황에 따라서, 초기에는 남동쪽으로 이동하지만 장기 예측결과, 외해쪽으로 흘러가는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통하여 추후, 수색작업의 범위를 외해쪽으로 확대시켜야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The marine industry is rapidly developing as a result of the increase in various needs in the marine environment. In addition, accidents involving ship fires and explosions and the resulting casualties are increasing. Generally, manpower and safety problems exist in fire fighting. A fire fighter in the form of an autonomous surface robot would be ideal for marine fire safety, because it has no manpower and safety problems. Therefore, an autonomous surface robot with the abilities of fire recognition and tracking, nozzle selection, position and attitude control, and fire fighting was developed and is discussed in this paper. The test and evaluation results of this robot showed the possibility of real-size applications and the need for additional studies.

It is necessary to be careful about contamination control to minimize the accumulation of the contamination material on satellite surface during the I&T phase. In the space environment which characterized by high vacuum, high and very low temperature, contamination material causes satellite to lose its own performance. Especially, contamination material can accumulate on critical surfaces such as lenses, mirrors, and sensors. KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) conducts the clean room to control and minimize the contamination effect. This paper introduces the principle of contamination and the method of measure and analysis for the contamination.

In this paper, the helicopter flight control system using online adaptive neural networks which have the universal function approximation property is considered. It is not compensation for modeling errors but approximation two functions required for feedback linearization control action from input/output of the system. To guarantee the tracking performance and the stability of the closed loop system replaced two nonlinear functions by two neural networks, weight update laws are provided by Lyapunov function and the simulation results in low speed flight mode verified the performance of the control system with the neural networks.

This paper is proposed to an novel facial behavior recognition system for driver's fatigue detection. Facial behavior is shown in various facial feature such as head expression, head pose, gaze, wrinkles. But it is very difficult to clearly discriminate a certain behavior by the obtained facial feature. Because, the behavior of a person is complicated and the face representing behavior is vague in providing enough information. The proposed system for facial behavior recognition first performs detection facial feature such as eye tracking, facial feature tracking, furrow detection, head orientation estimation, head motion detection and indicates the obtained feature by AU of FACS. On the basis of the obtained AU, it infers probability each state occur through Bayesian network.

In this paper, we suggest a measurement modeling of the RF seeker using the ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) image. Reference scattering points are extracted first from ISAR images which are changed according to target attitude. And then uncertainties included in RF seeker measurement such as noise strength, blink, and boresight error are added to the reference scattering points. The proposed measurement model of the RF seeker can be used to develop various kinds of target tracking algorithms.
