In recent yeaes, the collapses of man made structures have been encountered from time to time due to the deformation of the ground in korea. Furthermore, the possibilities of casasters from the ground deformation suCh as landslide and active fault are atrracting our attention to the deformation monitoring. In this study, two-coordinate tilt which was monitored during six months in order to develop tediniques for prevention of disasters from the ground deformation. The two-coordinate tilt which was detected by a tilt-sensor installed in shallow depth on the slope with the sensitivity of 0.0001 arc.sec in every 10 minutes was recorded continously to PC through the interface with 200-m line coonection. The observed digital tilt data. together with the relevant meteorological data were analyzed in reference to engineering application. During the whole observation period of six months, the net tilt is 10.06 arc.sec to the west and 73.88 arc.sec to the south. Consequently the ground has a tilt of 74.56 arc.sec to the direction of $S7.75^{\circ}W$ with average tilting of 0.02 arc.sec/hour. In spite of such fast and large tilting, it is interpreted in view of engineering aspects that the site is much safe from danger, since both East-West and North-South components of tilt converge as time goes by. Two categories of deformational events are recognized ; one is toward the direction of surface slope and the other is to the direction of increased pore pressure. Tiks are acenain to have a close relation with precipitation of rain. The daily variation of two-coordinate tilt is delayed 4.3 hours in average after the variation of atmospheric temperature. A certain correlation between atmospheric pressure and deformation might be revealed.

일반적으로 카메라는 좁은 시각 영역(field of view)를 가짐으로 인해, 넓은 영역의 뷰를 얻기 위해서는 모터를 이용하여 카메라를 팬/틸트시키는 것이 일반적이다. 하지만, 이들은 아직까지 기계적으로 카메라를 직접 움직여 원하는 영역의 영상을 보여주기 때문에, 내구성이 떨어지며 생산 원가도 많이 든다. 또한 움직임으로 인한 모션 블러 현상도 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 한번에 보은 지역을 촬영할 수 있고, 비기계적으로 팬/틸트가 가능한 카메라 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 한번의 촬영으로 널은 영역을 얻기 위해, 어안렌즈를 CCD 센서와 항께 사용한다. 또한, 어안렌즈(fish-eye lens)를 통해 얻은 왜곡된 영상을 와핑 기술을 이용해 편 다음, 원하는 부분의 영상을 보여준다. 본 논문은 TI사의 TMS320DSC25 프로세서로 구현하였으며, 어안 렌즈 캘리브레이션 및 실시간 왜곡 보정, 영상 출력을 위한 방법을 소개한다.

In this paper, to compensate the degraded performance in high-resolution infrared sensor due to assembling error, the influence of each component was evaluated through the sensitivity analysis of lens assembly, axis mirror, and detector and also suggested detector tilt mechanism for compensation. 3 detector tilt mechanisms were investigated. The first one is 'Shim plate' method which is applying shim on installing plane. The second one is 'Tilting screw' method that is using tilt screw for adjusting detection plane. The last one is 'Micrometer head' method that is installing micrometer on detection plane and acquiring quantitative data. Based on the investigation result, 'Tilting screw' method was applied due to ease of user control, small volume, and real-time controllability, thereby we could acquire high-resolution infrared images. The research result shows that the tilting mechanism is necessary technology for the implementation of high-resolution infrared imaging system.

We generally used electric optical sensors in order to detect and identify sea objects efficiently. However due to the limitation of view-angle, the region acquired from the sense is restricted. So it is necessary to generate panoramic image from sea images acquired from pan-tilt camera. Previous mosaicing method is not able to generate panoramic image for sea environment because intensity is similar to all region and time varying. In this paper, we proposed new algorithm for generating high-resolution panoramic image on sea environment. Proposed algorithm use single-view point model, applying mosaicing result in feature environment to in sea environment, we overcame the limitation of previous method. In the result of virtual and real experiment, we showed that proposed algorithm is efficient for generating sea panoramic image.

Due to un-balancing weight allocation on the wheelchair the existing wheelchair system are faced with the risk of flipping or falling when a wheelchair goes up to a hill. In to order to be safer during riding the wheelchair, in this paper, we proposed a real-time new solution using the integrated Gyro Sensor and Tilt Sensor for controlling the balance. Because the typical property of wheelchair is for the special user who meets the difficulty in moving on foot the maintain the balance of wheel-chair systems have become important and helpful. In our method, we calculate the seat angle using information from Tilt Sensor. However, due to the law of inertia when a wheelchair is moving there is a deviation in the output value of Tilt Sensor. Therefore, we have to optimize the value of the angle by utilizing the acceleration that is the output of the Gyro Sensor. We took the advantages by using the combination of Gyro and Tilt sensors. Moreover, we also solved the consumption issue of the whole system. Through various experimentations with usage of ZigBee sensor module, the power consumption for the balancing system is reduced significantly.

A robotically assisted field material handling system designed for loading and unloading of a planar pallet with a forklift in unstructured field environment is presented. The system uses combined acoustic/visual sensing data to define the position/orientation of the pallet and to determine the specific locations of the two slots of the pallet, so that the forklift can move close to the slot and engage it for transport. In order to reduce the complexity of the material handling operation, we have developed a method based on the integration of 2-D range data of Poraloid ultrasonic sensor along with 2-D visual data of an optical camera. Data obtained from the two separate sources complements each other and is used in an efficient algorithm to control this robotically assisted field material handling system . Range data obtained from two linear scannings is used to determine the pan and tilt angles of a pallet using least mean square method. Then 2-D visual data is used to determine the swing angle and engagement location of a pallet by using edge detection and Hough transform techniques. The limitations of the pan and tilt orientation to be determined arc discussed. The system developed is evaluated through the hardware and software implementation. The experimental results are presented.

Although an accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration, it cannot be used by itself to measure the acceleration when the orientation of the sensor changes. This paper introduces a Kalman filter for the estimation of a sensor acceleration based on a six-axis inertial sensor (i.e., a three-axis accelerometer and three-axis gyroscope). The novelty of the proposed Kalman filter lies in the fact that its state vector includes not only the tilt angle variable but also the sensor acceleration. Thus, the filter can explicitly estimate the latter with a high accuracy. The accuracy of acceleration estimates were validated experimentally under three different dynamic conditions, using an optical motion capture system. It could be concluded that the performance of the proposed Kalman filter was comparable to that of the state-of-the-art estimation algorithm employed by the Xsens MTw. The proposed algorithm may be more suitable than inertial/magnetic sensor-based algorithms for various applications adopting six-axis inertial sensors.

최근에 TV의 축구, 야구와 같은 스포츠 중계 방송에서 팀의 로고나 점수, 거리와 같은 그래픽 정보를 운동장에 합성시켜 보여주는 새로운 기술이 사용되고 있다. 이는 증강현실(AR: Augmented Reality)의 한 분야인 실시간 이미징 합성 기법을 사용한 것으로서 일반적으로 가상이미징 시스템이라 불리운다. 본 논문에서는 방송용 카메라의 렌즈와 팬(pan), 틸트(tilt) 축에 센서를 부착하여 이를 해석함으로써, 실시간으로 3차원 그래픽 좌표계의 가상 카메라를 제어하는 센서기반 가상이미징 시스템의 구현 결과와 관련기술을 소개한다. KBS 기술연구소에서는 실시간 가상이미징 시스템을 개발하여 'VIVA(Virtual Imaging & Virtual Advertising)'라 이름지었다. 이 시스템은 렌즈 데이터에 근거하여 카메라 캘리브레이션을 수행하며, 주밍(zooming)시 발생하는 카메라의 시점(view point) 변화를 반영하여 원거리 촬영이 이루어지는 스포츠 중계뿐만 아니라 보다 정확성이 요구되는 스튜디오 내의 근거리 프로그램 제작에도 사용이 가능하다. 합성되는 그래픽은 실세계와 같은 완전한 3차원 좌표 공간에 놓이게 되며, 월드 좌표계와 카메라 좌표계를 이용하여 사전 제작된 오브젝트들을 원하는 곳에 위치시킬 수 있다. 실사와 그래픽의 효과적인 합성을 위하여 오버레이(overlay) 모드는 물론 알파키(alphakey)와 크로마키(chromakey)를 조합한 모드를 사용하였다. VIVA는 2002년 부산 아시안 게임에서 수영과 양궁 중계에 활용하였다.
