Due to recent improvements in computer processing speed and image processing technology, researches are being actively carried out to combine information from camera with existing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and dead reckoning. In this study, developed a vision-based positioning assistant algorithm to estimate the distance to the object from stereo images. In addition, GNSS/on-board vehicle sensor/vision based positioning algorithm is developed by combining vision based positioning algorithm with existing positioning algorithm. For the performance analysis, the velocity calculated from the actual driving test was used for the navigation solution correction, simulation tests were performed to analyse the effects of velocity precision. As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that about 4% of position accuracy is improved when vision information is added compared to existing GNSS/on-board based positioning algorithm.

Purpose: The Planning of High-Dose-Rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments are becoming individualized and more dependent on the treatment planning system. Therefore, computer software has been developed to perform independent point dose calculations with the integration of an isodose distribution curve display into the patient anatomy images. Meterials and Methods: As primary input data, the program takes patients'planning data including the source dwell positions, dwell times and the doses at reference points, computed by an HDR treatment planning system (TPS). Dosimetric calculations were peformed in a $10\times12\times10\;Cm^3$ grid space using the Interstitial Collaborative Working Group (ICWG) formalism and an anisotropy table for the HDR Iridium-192 source. The computed doses at the reference points were automatically compared with the relevant results of the TPS. The MR and simulation film images were then imported and the isodose distributions on the axial, sagittal and coronal planes intersecting the point selected by a user were superimposed on the imported images and then displayed. The accuracy of the software was tested in three benchmark plans peformed by Gamma-Med 12i TPS (MDS Nordion, Germany). Nine patients'plans generated by Plato (Nucletron Corporation, The Netherlands) were verified by the developed software. Results: The absolute doses computed by the developed software agreed with the commercial TPS results within an accuracy of $2.8\%$ in the benchmark plans. The isodose distribution plots showed excellent agreements with the exception of the tip legion of the source's longitudinal axis where a slight deviation was observed. In clinical plans, the secondary dose calculations had, on average, about a $3.4\%$ deviation from the TPS plans. Conclusion: The accurate validation of complicate treatment plans is possible with the developed software and the qualify of the HDR treatment plan can be improved with the isodose display integrated into the patient anatomy information.

An autonomous and automatic home mess-cleanup robot is newly developed in this paper. Thus far, vacuum-cleaners have lightened the burden of household chores but the operational labor that vacuum-cleaners entail has been very severe. Recently, a cleaning robot was commercialized to solve but it also was not successful because it still had the problem of mess-cleanup, which pertained to the clean-up of large trash and the arrangement of newspapers, clothes, etc. Hence, we develop a new home mess-cleanup robot (McBot) to completely overcome this problem. The robot needs the capability for agile navigation and a novel manipulation system for mess-cleanup. The autonomous navigational system has to be controlled for the full scanning of the living room and for the precise tracking of the desired path. It must be also be able to recognize the absolute position and orientation of itself and to distinguish the messed object that is to be cleaned up from obstacles that should merely be avoided. The manipulator, which is not needed in a vacuum-cleaning robot, has the functions of distinguishing the large trash that is to be cleaned from the messed objects that are to be arranged. It needs to use its discretion with regard to the form of the messed objects and to properly carry these objects to the destination. In particular, in this paper, we describe our approach for achieving accurate localization using RFID for home mess-cleanup robots. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed McBot is confirmed through live tests of the mess-cleanup task.

This study is to extract landmark buildings for pedestrian navigation from the existing spatial data sets automatically. At first, we defined candidates for landmark based on sight of pedestrian, then extracted final landmark by evaluating attributes of each candidate. The attribute is evaluated with relative or absolute criteria depending on the nature of each attribute. Landmarks extracted through the proposed method are compared to existing landmarks for vehicle and assessment of the validity and the applicability is performed. As a result, extracted Landmarks are expected to help guiding pedestrian effectively.

전국적으로 균형있는 의료공급체계를 확립하기 위하여 정부가 건립 추진하여온 민간지역병원은 계획목표 년도가 2년이나 경과한 1984년 4월 현재 설립인가된 51개 병원중 38개 병원(74%)이 개원하였다. 이중 4개 병원은 심각한 재정난과 부실운영으로 이미 문을 닫은 실정이고 나머지 대부분의 병원들도 운영난에 봉착하였는바 이러한 민간지역 병원의 특성과 운영성과에 관련된 요인을 분석하기 위하여 각 병원별 실태조사표와 설문조사서 및 방문면담으로 개원중인 병원전체를 대상으로 자료를 수집,조사하였다. 각 병원의 운영성과에 미치는 요인중 가장 큰 것은 지역적 여건과 병원의 입지조건이었다. 병원운영이 다소 호전되는 병원일수록 의료수가나 진료미수금과 같은 병원외부요인에 관심을 갖는데 반해 악화되는 병원일수록 병원의 위치나 타병원과의 경쟁등 병원내부요인에서 더욱 많은 문제점을 느끼고 있었다. 또한 자력에 의한 운영자금 및 양질의 타인자본 조달능력이 중요한 것으로 지적되었다. 이러한 요인은 정부의 민간지역병원 건립계획에 대한 불충분한 검토와 병원들의 판단력부족 및 자금동원능력 부족과 관리운영미숙에도 문제가 있었다. 막대하게 소요된 시설자금 및 운영자금으로 인한 높은 부채비율로 인해 이를 감당할 만한 이자부담 능력도 없으며, 기존병원에 비하여 환자절대수마저 부족으로 정상운영을 기대할 수 없었다. 이와 같은 결과는 앞으로 병원신설을 할 때 기획단계부터 면밀한 검토가 필수적이라는 것을 시사해 준다.

This study is about the analysis of the application of non-metric camera to accident sites and aims to present an efficient, an economical and an accurate method of processing accident sites. This was accomplished by observation and accuracy analysis of an experimental model. It can be concluded that by applying the 3-D coordinate system and the bundle adjustment with additional parameters to non-metric cameras, it is possible to achieve an accuracy level of positional values which is similar to that achieved by conventional control surveying and by metric cameras. It was also found that the accuracy of absolute coordinates approached towards the accuracy of metric cameras with the increase of the film size and with the increase of the focal length of the non-metric camera.

In this study, we developed a Portable Multi-sensor System, which consists of a video camera, a GPS/MEMS IMU and a UMPC to acquire video images and position/attitude data. We performed image georeferencing based on the bundle adjustment without ground control points using the acquired data and then evaluated the effectiveness of our system through the accuracy verification. The experimental results showed that the RMSE of relative coordinates on the ground point coordinates obtained from our system was several centimeters. Our system can be efficiently utilized to obtain the 3D model of object and their relative coordinates. In future, we plan to improve the accuracy of absolute coordinates through the rigorous calibration of the system and camera.

This paper establised GPS network consist of 75km average baseline lengths over Jeollanamdo and Jeollabukdo nine point station and fixed Gwangju point station. We quantitavely analyzed how much precision of the baseline determination is improved for GPS survey when using the precise eqhemeris instead of tile broadcast ephemeris of GPS satellites. The observed data for each baseline were processed two times with the same conditions alternately changing the broadcast and the precise ephemeris. The standard deviations from the repeated measurments for each baseline ara compared between the results of using the broadcast ephemeris and the precise ephemeris. As the results, the precision, stability and reliability of the baseline determination using the precise ephemeris is better than those of using the broadcast ephemeris for all baselines.

서울시는 선진 대도시와는 달리 노면교통이 도시고속도로 중심이 아니라 신호교차로와 좌회전이 많은 일반 간선도로에 대한 의존도가 높기 때문에 일부 구간에서의 정체는 공간적으로 파급효과가 크게 나타나는 도로교통체계를 갖고 있다. 따라서 통행량 유발이 집중되는 시설이 많이 위치한 강남과 도심의 일부구역의 정체는 강남과 도심 전체의 교통소통에 악영향을 주고 있고 이러한 문제를 해소하기 위해서는 교통zoning제도의 한 방식인 교통특별관리구역 제도의 도입을 통한 강력한 블록별 통행규제가 절대적으로 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구의 목적은 서울시에서 $\ulcorner$교통특별관리구역$\lrcorner$ 제도를 성공적으로 도입하기 위해 아시아-유럽 정상회담 개최장소인 강남의 ASEM지구에 대한 사례연구를 통해 그 적절한 시행방안을 사전적으로 검토하는데 있다. 본 연구결과 특별관리구역의 공간적 범위를 크게 하고 통과교통도 규제하는 것이 교통개선효과 측면에서는 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 공간적 범위를 크게 할 경우에는 직접적으로 혼잡유발에 책임이 없는데도 불구하고 규제의 대상이 되는 형평성 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 한편, 공간적 범위를 혼잡유발시설 주변으로 축소하고 도착통행만을 규제할 경우에는 전이교통이 늘어나서 규제의 효과가 잘 나타나지 않고 오히려 규제대상만 불편하게 하는 문제점이 나타났다. 연구결과 나타난 문제를 보완하기 위해서는 가능한 구역의 범위는 혼잡유발정도가 큰 건물이 밀집되어 있는 블록 주변으로 한정하되, 교통개선효과를 높이기 위해서는 구역 내를 통과하는 교통도 규제의 대상이 될 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 통과교통도 규제의 대상이 되기 때문에 구역을 범위를 설정할 때 구역 주변도로의 교통상황을 신중하게 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
