Due to the limitations of the existing indoor positioning system depending on the radio wave, at present, it is required to introduce a new method in order to improve the accuracy in indoor environment. Recently, bio-inspired technology has become the future core technology. Thus, this study examined the accurate positioning method applying the abilities that animals with homing instinct measure their position by searching geomagnetic field with the use of their biomagnets. In order to confirm the applicability of geomagnetic field, a new source for indoor positioning, this study separated the constituent materials and building structure and designed the structures that can carry the actual magnetic field sensor and the data collection module. Subsequently, this study investigated the applicability of geomagnetic field as a positioning source by establishing the positioning system of Fingerprint method. In performance evaluation of the positioning system, the geomagnetic strength-based positioning system was similar to or approximately 20 percent higher than the wireless LAN-based positioning system in the buildings with the existing wireless LAN. Thus, in the environment without infrastructure for indoor positioning, the geomagnetic, an independent earth resource, can make it possible to realize the indoor positioning.

위치측위 시스템들이 발전함에 따라 실내에서도 다양한 방법으로 신뢰성이 높은 실내 위치측위 시스템들이 보편화되고 있는 추세이다. 허나 기술의 한계점으로 지구자기장을 활용한 새로운 기술이 연구되고 있음에도 불구하고, 위 기술 또한 기존 기술들과는 다른 한계점이 존재한다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 각각의 기술점의 한계점을 해소하기 위해서 기존 실내측위 시스템과 새롭게 개발 중인 실내 측위 시스템을 혼합하여 외부장비의 의존도를 낮추고 신뢰성 높은 위치측위를 지속적으로 제공할수 있는 혼합형 실내 위치측위 시스템을 제안하고자 한다.

Nowadays, Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) which is the new concept of positioning system has been developed because of satisfaction human's intelligent desire and rapid science development. GNSS which is represented by GPS provides 3-Dimension positioning information not expensively in whenever, wherever. The industry of positioning information has extending civil market widely as well as military market. So GNSS is running the role of society infra structure including car and airborne navigation, civil engineering, GIS resource, telematics and LBS, and so on. As USA removes the SA(Selective Availability), GPS has monopolizing the market and other countries have been depended on GPS, absolutely. In this paper, the author developed the software for analysis of influence using next generation, Galileo system. The local analysis was performed according to positioning mode. And GPS/Galileo combined system can implement positioning in the worst mask environment like urban cannon.

위성항법시스템(GPS)은 편리성, 활용도 등으로 인해 항법, 이동통신, 금융, 전력 등 여러 분야(측위·항법·시각)에서 사용하고 있다. 위성이 지구로부터 약 2만키로미터 떨어져 있어 위성신호 수신 세기가 약해 외부로부터 전파간섭이나 교란 등 보안에 취약한 단점이 있다. 주요국(미국, 유럽, 중국, 인도 등)은 보안을 강화하여 독자적인 위성항법 시스템을 구축하여 운영하고 있다. 우리나라도 지상기반(eLoran)과, 위성기반(KPS)의 항법시스템을 구축중이다. 시스템 구축이 완료되면 한층 강화된 국가 PNT 체계 구축으로 만일의 사태에 발생할 수 있는 상황에 대비할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지상기반, 위성기반의 항법시스템에 대한 핵심 기능과 추진계획을 기술하였으며, 관련 연구개발을 통해 더욱 정밀한 서비스 제공으로 해양뿐만 아니라 자율주행 이동체, 무인기 등 여러 산업 분야에 서비스를 확대해 나갈 계획이다.

This paper is to study the development of three dimensional Digital Surface Model (DSM) using photogrammetry technique based on self-developed Drone (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)). To develop DSM, we selected a study area in Jeju island and took 24 pictures from the drone. The three dimensional coordinates of the photos were made by Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) surveying with 10 ground control points (GCP). From the calculated three dimensional coordinates, we produced orthographic image and DSM. The accuracy of DSM was calculated using three GCPs. The average accuracy of X and Y was from 8.8 to 14.7 cm, and the accuracy of Z was 0.8 to 12.4 cm. The accuracy was less than the reference accuracy of 1/1,000 digital map provided by National Geographic Information Institute (NGII). From the results, we found that the self-developed drone and the photogrammetry technique are a useful tool to make DSM and digital map of Jeju.

Our society is rapidly changing, and there is a growing demand for various convenience services in our daily lives. Among these services, railway and subway stations require tailored wayfinding services to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Currently, signage and information desks are the primary means of navigation. However, individuals with disabilities often rely on assistance from others due to physical discomfort or cognitive impairments. In this paper, we propose a customized wayfinding system within railway stations to assist individuals with disabilities. This system aims to ensure safe and convenient mobility in complex indoor environments, including transfer facilities.

Due to GPS signal's vulnerability of jamming attack, various enhancement techniques are needed. Among variety of techniques, we focused on GPS receiver's anti-jamming techniques. There are many anti-jamming methods at GPS receivers which include filtering methods in time domain, frequency domain and space domain. However, these methods are ineffective to signals, which include both jamming and noise. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a jamming separation scheme by using a BSS method in a jamming environment. As separated GPS signals include noise after the jamming separation method, it is difficult to receive accurate GPS signals. For this reason, this paper also proposes a wavelet de-noising method to effectively eliminate noise. Experimental results of this paper are based on a real field test data of an integrated GPS/QZSS/Wi-Fi positioning system. At the end, the simulation result demonstrates its superiority by showing improved positioning accuracy.

A solar flares have the 11-year cycle and release a large energy which may produce coronal mass ejections (CME). The NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) predicted that the sun spot activity will be maximized in 2013-2014. A strong solar flare can cause the disturbance of global positioning system including various communication of TV, radio broadcasting. The actual solar storm in 1989 caused power outages in Canada during 9 hours and about 600 million people had experienced a blackout. Such a solar storm can shorten the GPS satellite's life span about 5 to 10 years which can be resulted in economic loss considering the amount of multi-billion won. This paper analyzed the recent solar storm of X-class occurred on 15th of February about 10:45 this year that was reached Korea (Bohyun observatory) on 18th of February about 10:30 (local time), and compared with the data of before and after a week. The proton data of 18th of February considered that the solar strom reached on earth showed a fluctuation compared to the data of before and after a week. The positioning results at Daejeon also showed higher positioning error compared to the data of before and after a week results.

This paper analyzed the influence of recent X-class solar storm occurred on 15th of February about 10:45 this year that was reached Korea (Bohyun observatory) on 18th of February about 10:30 (01:30 - UTC), and compared with the data before and after a week. The proton data of 18th of February considered that the solar storm reached on earth showed a fluctuation compared to the data before and after a week. The positioning results at Daejeon and Seoul of Korea also showed higher positioning error compared to the data before and after a week results.
