The swirl ratio in a SI engine is investigated in a steady flow bench according to the measurement methods: an impulse swirl meter and particle image velocimetry (PIV). When measuring the swirl ratio using the PIV, the torque is evaluated based on the cylinder center and swirl center, respectively. The position of the measurement plane is considered. As a result, in the upstream, the swirl ratio measured by the impulse swirl meter is estimated to be larger than that from the PIV measurements due to the unstable vortex motions. Regarding the PIV measurements, the swirl ratio based on the cylinder center has been found to be lower than that based on the swirl center. On the other hand, the difference in swirl ratio has decreased smaller as the measurement plane moved downstream due to the stabilization of the vortex motion.

In this paper, we implemented an algae removal device that recognizes and removes algae existing in water using Raspberry Pi camera and DO (Dissolved Oxygen) sensor. The Raspberry Pi board recognizes the color of green algae by converting the RGB values obtained from the camera into HSV. Through this, the location of the algae is identified and when the amount of dissolved oxygen's decrease at the location is more than the reference value using the DO sensor, the algae removal device is driven to spray the algae removal solution. Raspberry Pi's camera uses OpenCV, and the motor movement is controlled according to the output value of the DO sensor and the result of the camera's green algae recognition. Algae recognition and spraying of algae removal solution were implemented through Arduino and Raspberry Pi, and the feasibility of the proposed portable algae removal device was verified through experiments.

This paper presents to study the accuracy improvement of the laser navigation using FIS(fuzzy inference system) and the reliability. As wireless guidance system, the top-mounted laser with the laser navigation can rotate $360^{\circ}$ with phototransistor or other optical sensors that read the return signal from reflectors mounted at the perimeter of the workspace. The type of major existing guidance systems is a wire guidance system. Because they have high accuracy and fast response time, they are used to most industries. However, their installation cost is very expensive and maintenance is very difficult because their sensors are placed approximately 1 inch below the ground or embedded in the floor. To solve those problems, the laser navigation was developed as a wire guidance system. It does not need to reconstruct a floor or ground. And it can reduce costs of installation and maintenance because changing the layout is easy. However, it is difficult to apply to an industrial field because it is easily affected by disturbances which cause loss and damage of data, and has slow respond time. Therefore, we study the accuracy improvement of the laser navigation. The proposed method is a correction method using reliability of the laser navigation. here, reliability is calculated by FIS which is designed with the analyzed characteristics of the laser navigation. For performance comparison, we use original position data form the laser navigation and position data corrected by original reliability from the laser navigation. In experimental result, we verified that the performance of the proposed method compared the others is improved by about 50% or more.

본 연구는 공간적 정보의 청각적 제시 가능성을 확인하기 위해 머리전달함수(head-related transfer function: HRTF)를 통해 생성된 3D 사운드를 가상공간상 대상 위치의 직각형태(orthogonal pattern), 혹은 대각형태(diagonal pattern)의 조합으로 배열하여 투시장치(See-Through HMD)로 증강현실을 경험하고 있는 사용자 과제수행의 정확성을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 실시한 실험들의 결과를 종합하면, 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치 정보를 제시할 때는 사용자로부터의 방향은 직각으로 위치시키는 정보 배열이 정확성을 확보할 수 있고, 또한 가상적 깊이를 이용하여 정보를 배열하는 것도 그 깊이를 구분할 수 있으나 정확성이 떨어짐을 확인하였다. 특히 보다 현실적인 과제 상황에서의 수행을 비교하기 위해 일차과제(primary task)를 하는 동안 제시된 청각자극 조건에서 이런 정확성의 차이가 마찬가지로 나타났다. 이런 결과를 통해 3D 사운드로 대상의 위치와 같은 공간적 정보를 제시 가능한 최적의 배열 형태를 제안하는데, 이는 어떤 패턴으로 정보를 구조화하여 제시하느냐에 따라 청각적 위치 정보 제시의 성공 여부가 결정된다는 것을 의미한다.

As the popularization and proliferation of smart phone and location based services, the necessity and importance of the location based service based on the smart phone becomes significant. But existing technologies could not be applied in real situation due to the lack of accuracy, economy, and convenience, the method using the signal strength of WLAN is not accurate. In this paper, the technical back ground, implementation issue, and measurement result are described for the proposed relative positioning technology using acoustic signal and Bluetooth with smart phone. It is possible to measure the position of the smart phone with accuracy and simple device, and it is very proper especially for the indoor location based intelligent services.

오늘날 모바일 장치 기술, 위치 측위 기술, 무선 통신 기술 등이 급속도로 발달하고 이동체 위치 데이타가 널리 활용됨에 따라 차량 관리 시스템, 차량 배차 및 제어 시스템 등과 같은 이동체 위치 데이타를 실시간으로 서비스하기 위한 시스템이 개발되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시스템에서 기반 시스템으로 사용되는 MO(Moving Object) DBMS 같은 이동체 관리 시스템은 이동체의 실시간 스트림 관리에 비효율적이고, 기존의 DSMS(Data Stream Management System)와 같은 스트림 관리 시스템은 공간 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이동체 위치 데이타의 효율적인 실시간 관리를 위한 시공간 DSMS를 설계 및 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 시공간 DSMS는 스탠포드 대학의 STREAM(STanford stREam dAta Manager)을 기반으로 이동체 위치 데이타의 실시간 관리와 공간 및 시공간 질의 처리 기능을 지원하는 시스템이다. 특히, 시공간 DSMS에서 사용하는 시공간 함수는 호환성을 위해서 OGC에서 제시한 "SQL을 위한 심플 피쳐 명세"를 따르는 표준 인터페이스를 지원한다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 구현한 시공간 DSMS를 이동체 위치 데이타의 실시간 관리가 필요한 실시간 모니터링 분야에 적용해 봄으로써 시스템의 효용성을 입증하였다.

In order to obtain continuous navigation information at low cost, we demonstrate, in this work, a position system which is constructed by integrating accelerometers with GPS. The proposed system eliminates vibration and noise elements of accelerometers by using Kalman filter. Calculating continuous navigation information is executed by unifying GPS position data and accelerations of moving and centripetal directions which affect the vehicle. Through simulations and experiments, we show that the performance of GPS can be improved by employing accelerometers. Our proposed system can provide stable and seamless position information where the GPS signal is unavailable due to obstruction like tunnels, and high buildings. The designed system can be implemented at low cost of circuit design and production, and satisfy various installation conditions.

Comparing with fixed-type Robots, Mobile Robots have the advantage of extending their workspaces. But this advantage need some sensors to detect mobile robot's position and find their goal point. This article describe the navigation teaching method of mobile robot using omni-directional position detection system. This system offers the brief position data to a processor with simple devices. In other words, when user points a goal point, this system revise the error by comparing its heading angle and position with the goal. For these processes, this system use a conic mirror and a single camera. As a result, this system reduce the image processing time to search the target for mobile robot navigation ordered by user.

A motion capture system is widely used in movies, computer game, and computer animation industries because it allows for creating realistic human motions efficiently. The inertial motion capture system has several advantages over more popular vision-based systems in terms of the required space and cost. However, it suffers from low accuracy due to the relatively high noise levels of the inertial sensors. In particular, the accelerometer used for measuring gravity direction loses the accuracy when the sensor is moving with non-zero linear acceleration. In this paper, we propose a method to remove the linear acceleration component from the accelerometer data in order to improve the accuracy of measuring gravity direction. In addition, we develop a simple method to calibrate the joint axis of a link to which an inertial sensor belongs as well as the position of a sensor with respect to the link. The calibration enables attaching inertial sensors in an arbitrary position and orientation with respect to a link.
