This paper introduces a novel approach that can provide the three dimensional information about the movement of a spreader by using two CCD cameras and a laser distance measuring unit in order to derive ALS (Automatic Landing System) in the crane used at a harbor. So far a kind of 2D Laser scanner sensor or laser distance measuring units are used as comer detectors for the geometrical matching between the spreader and a container. Such systems provide only two dimensional information which is not enough for an accurate and fast ALS. In addition to this deficiency in performance, the price of the system is too high to adapt to the ALS. Therefore, to overcome these defects, we proposed a novel method to acquire the three dimensional spreader information using two CCD cameras and a laser distance measuring unit. To show the efficiency of proposed method, real experiments are performed to show the improvement of accuracy in distance measurement by fusing the sensory information of the CCD cameras and a laser distance measuring unit.

This paper presents a sensor fusion method to recognize a cylindrical object a CCD camera, a laser slit beam and ultrasonic sensors on a pan/tilt device. For object recognition with a vision sensor, an active light source projects a stripe pattern of light on the object surface. The 2D image data are transformed into 3D data using the geometry between the camera and the laser slit beam. The ultrasonic sensor uses an ultrasonic transducer array mounted in horizontal direction on the pan/tilt device. The time of flight is estimated by finding the maximum correlation between the received ultrasonic pulse and a set of stored templates - also called a matched filter. The distance of flight is calculated by simply multiplying the time of flight by the speed of sound and the maximum amplitude of the filtered signal is used to determine the face angle to the object. To determine the position and the radius of cylindrical objects, we use a statistical sensor fusion. Experimental results show that the fused data increase the reliability for the object recognition.

흙막이 공사는 지하굴착을 수행하는 건설공사에서 필수적으로 적용되는 공사 기법으로, 공사 규모와 관계없이 흙막이의 계측관리는 필수적이다. 그러나 굴착깊이 10m 미만에 해당되는 소규모 건축현장(총 공사비 20억 내외)의 경우에는 1) 시공업체의 영세성, 2) 현장관리자의 역량 부족, 3) 계측기기 설치·해체 및 변위분석의 복잡성 등의 문제점으로 인해 흙막이의 계측 관리가 제대로 수행되고 있지 않는 실정이다. 상기 문제점을 해결하는 선행연구 분석 결과, 대부분의 선행연구에서는 값비싼 3D 스캐너를 활용하거나 다수의 계측기기를 설치해야 되는 문제점이 있어 소규모 건설현장에 이를 적용하는 것은 어려운 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 하나의 계측기기를 활용하여 흙막이 구조체의 변위를 파악할 수 있는 레이저 센서 기반 흙막이 구조체 변위 계측 시스템의 개념 디자인을 제안하고 개념 디자인에 적용된 요소기술의 변위 인식 성능을 검증하는 것이다. 요소기술은 2D 레이저 스캐너가 선정되었으며, 선정된 2D 레이저 스캐너를 활용하여 개념디자인이 제안되었다. 2D 레이저 스캐너의 변위 인식 검증 결과, 15mm의 변위는 충분히 파악 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 추후, 제안된 개념디자인이 개발되고 현장에 적용될 경우 소규모 건설현장의 안전사고 저감에 기여할 것으로 분석된다.

본 논문에서는 레이저 센서 시스템을 이용한 이동중의 사람들을 실시간으로 추종하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 제시한 방법은 $r-{\theta}$로 표현되는 센서데이터를 x-y좌표로 표현되는 2차원 공간으로 표현이 가능하다. 이러한 이동중인 사람들에 대한 정보는 보행패턴과 입력 센서데이터 값에 의해서 이동중인 사람의 특징값을 이용하여 적용하였다. 레이저 센서 기반 사람 추적 방법은 기존의 영상기반의 얼굴인식 방법보다 간단하면서도 이점을 가지고 있다. 제안방법에선 이동궤적알고리즘 기반으로 이동중인 사람의 발목부위를 계측하였도록 하였다. 게다가 제안된 추적 시스템은 중첩된 상황에서도 사람을 강건하게 추적할 수 있도록 HMM 방법을 적용하였다. 적용한 방법을 검증하기 위하여 실제 시스템을 적용한 실험결과를 제시하였다.

Laser-based ultrasonic sensing requires the probe with fixed fecal length, but this requirement is not essential in laser-based ultrasonic generation. Based on this fact, we designed a pulsed laser-based ultrasonic wave propagation imaging (UWPI) system with a tilting mirror system for rapid scanning of target, and an in-line band-pass filtering capable of ultrasoaic mode selection. 1D-temporal averaging, 2D-spatial averaging, and 3D-data structure building algorithms were developed far clearer results allowing fur higher damage detectability. The imaging results on a flat stainless steel plate were presented in movie and snapshot formats which showed the propagation of ultrasound visible as a concentric wavefield emerging from the location of an ultrasonic sensor. A hole in the plate with a diameter of 1 mm was indicated by the scattering wavefields. The results showed that this robust UWPI system is independent of focal length and reference data requirements.

We propose the method for measuring sensitivity of optical receiver of a long-range laser range finder in real-time. The sensitivity of the detector can be calculated using the detected voltage of the reference sensor, the area of the reference sensor and the transmittance ratio of neutral density filters. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we implemented a system and performed experiments. As a result, this system can be measured from 2nW to $113{\mu}W$. With this system, we measured the sensitivity of 37nW and 7nW with PIN PD and APD sample, respectively. This system has the advantage for the performance test of an optical sensor module in the long-range laser range finder.

In this paper, a precision measuring machine for large sized axial fans of cooling towers are developed. A laser sensor is used as a measuring device and aluminum profiles and stepping motors are engaged into the system as frame structure and driving devices respectively. 3-dimensional measuring data are compared to the design data to compute the distortion of the axial fans. Two distortions such as the axis of the fan and the airfoils along the axis are introduced to define the shape precision of axial fans. Genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem during computing the distortion. Results of distortion are displayed 3 dimensionally in a solid-modeler as well as 2-D drawings to help users find it with case.

The planning stage of laser scanning is crucial for acquiring high-quality 3D source data. It involves assessing the target space's environment and formulating an effective measurement strategy. However, existing practices often overlook on-site conditions, with decisions on scanner deployment and scanning locations relying heavily on the operators' experience. This approach has resulted in frequent modifications to scanning locations and diminished 3D data quality. Previous research has explored the selection of optimal scanner locations and conducted preliminary reviews through simulation, but these methods have significant drawbacks. They fail to consider scanner inaccuracies, do not support the use of multiple scanners, rely on less accurate 2D drawings, and require specialized knowledge in 3D modeling and programming. This study introduces an optimization technique for laser scanning planning using 3D simulation to address these issues. By evaluating the accuracy of scan data from various laser scanners and their positioning for scanning a retaining wall structure in a small-scale building, this method aids in refining the laser scanning plan. It enhances the decision-making process for end-users by ensuring data quality and reducing the need for plan adjustments during the planning phase.

This paper presents 3D position estimation algorithm with the images of 2D vision sensors which issues Red Laser Slit light and recieves the line images. Since the sensor usually measures 2D position of corner(or edge) of a body and the measured point is not fixed in the body, the additional information of the corner(or edge) is used. That is, corner(or edge) line is straight and fixed in the body. For the body which moves in a plane, the Transformation matrix between the body coordinate and the reference coordinate is analytically found. For the 3D motion body, linearization technique and least mean squares method are used.

Purpose: Automated guidance systems (AGSs) for mobile farm machinery have several advantages over manual operation in the crop production industry. Many researchers and companies have tried to develop such a system. However, it is not easy to evaluate the performance of an AGS because there is no established device used to evaluate it that complies with the ISO 12188 standard. The objective of this study was to develop a tracking sensor system using five laser distance measurement sensors. Methods: One sensor-for long-range distance measurement-was used to measure travel distance and velocity. The other four sensors-for mid-range distance measurement-were used to measure lateral deviation. Stationary, manual driving, and A-B line tests were conducted, and the results were compared with the real-time kinematic differential global positioning system (RTK-DGPS) signal used by the AGS. Results: For the stationary test, the average error of the tracking sensor system was 1.99 mm, and the average error of the RTK-DGPS was 15.19 mm. For the two types of driving tests, the data trends were similar. A comparison of the changes in lateral deviation showed that the data stability of the developed tracking system was better. Conclusions: Although the tracking system was not capable of measuring long travel distances under strong sunlight illumination because of the long-range sensor's limitations, this dilemma could be overcome using a higher-performance sensor.
