The objective of this research work is to investigate into effects of an auto tracking of the focal distance on the quality of the cut part in the cutting of a low carbon sheet using a high-power CW Nd:YAG laser. An auto-tracking system with a capacitance based distance control loop has been employed to perform a real control of the focal distance. In order to examine the influence of the auto-tracking of a focal distance on the optimum focal distance, the kerfwidth, surface roughness and the formation of the cut section, several linear cutting tests have been carried out using the auto-tracking system. The results of experiments have been shown that the optimum focal distance is 0.9mm. In addition, it has been shown that the variation of kerfwidth and the surface roughness of the cut part with control of the focal distance are reduced 40-80% and 30-55% in comparison with those of the cut part without tracking of the focal distance. From the results of the experiments, it has been found that the real time tracking of the focal distance can improve the part quality.

A telemetry ground station has a highly directional, parabolic tracking antenna to receive a weak telemetry signal from a target at a distance. The tracking antenna with narrow beam-width normally uses the auto-track method for the target tracking. This paper presents several issues in the auto-track method and introduces a new tracking method using Self-Slaving technique. Self-Slaving means that the tracking antenna is slaved to not data measured by RADAR but GPS/INS informations received by the telemetry system for pointing. The Self-Slaving method shows good performance in comparison with auto-track method.

Most surgery illumination systems have been developed as passive systems. However, sometimes it is inconvenient to relocate the position of the illumination system whenever the surgeon changes his pose. To cope with such a problem, this study develops an auto-illumination system that is autonomously tracking the surgeon's movement. A 5-DOF serial type manipulator system that can control (X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch) position and secure enough workspace is developed. Using 3 ultrasonic sensors, the surgeon's position and orientation could be located. The measured data aresent to the main control system so that the robot can be auto-tracking the target. Finally, performance of the developed auto-illuminating system was verified through a preliminary experiment in the operating room environment.

The PID trajectory tracking controller for robotic systems shows performance limitation imposed by inverse dynamics according to desired trajectory. Since the equilibrium point can not be defined for the control system involving performance limitation, we define newly the quasi-equilibrium region as an alternative for equilibrium point. This analysis result of performance limitation can guide us the auto-tuning method for PID controller. Also, the quasi-equilibrium region is used as the target performance of auto-tuning PID trajectory tracking controller. The auto-tuning law is derived from the direct adaptive control scheme, based on the extended disturbance input-to-state stability and the characteristics of performance limitation. Finally, experimental results show that the target performance can be achieved by the proposed automatic tuning method.

본 논문에서는 전방위 영상을 활용하여 효과적으로 감시할 수 있는 뷰어 프로그램을 구현하였다. 프로그램은 크게 Normal mode, ROI(Region of Interest) mode, Tracking mode, Auto-rotation mode의 네 가지 모드로 구성되며, 각 모드에 대한 결과 영상을 동시에 표출하도록 구현하였다. Normal mode에서는 광각 영상을 구형 영상으로 렌더링하여 팬, 틸트, 줌이 가능하도록 하며, ROI mode는 보고 싶은 영역을 선택하면 해당 영역이 확장되어 표출된다. 그리고 Auto-rotation mode에서는, Tracking mode를 이용하여 객체 추적 시 객체가 구형 영상의 특정 영역을 이탈하는 경우를 방지하기 위해, 객체의 위치를 구형 영상의 회전각과 맵핑하여 회전함으로써 객체의 지속적인 추적이 가능하게 하였다. 복수의 모드를 동시에 처리하기 위한 병렬프로그래밍을 수행하여 연산 처리 속도를 개선하였으며, 이는 한정된 화각을 가진 종래의 카메라 기반 감시 시스템에 비해 동시에 다양한 각도를 볼 수 있다는 점에서 강점을 가진다.

The deep ocean engineering basin (DOEB) of the Korea Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) is equipped with an extreme-environment reproduction facility that can analyze the motion characteristics of offshore structures and ships. In recent years, there have been requirements for a wide range of six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion measurements for performing maneuvering tests and free-running tests of target objects (offshore structures or ships). This study introduces the process of developing a wide-area motion measurement technology by incorporating the auto-tracking technology of the towing carriage system to overcome the existing 6-DOF motion measurement limitation. To realize a wide range of motion measurements, the automatic tracking control system of the towing carriage in the DOEB was designed as a speed control method. To verify the control performance, the characteristics of the towing carriage according to the variation in control gain were analyzed. Finally, a wide range of motions was tested using a model test object (a remotely operated vehicle (ROV)), and the wide-area motion measurement technology was implemented using an automatic tracking control system for a towing carriage.

본 논문은 얼굴을 관심 영역(ROI)으로 사용하는 자동 초점(AF, Auto Focusing) 시스템을 위 한 얼굴 검출 기능(Face Detection)의 얼굴 추적 향상 방법에 관한 것이다. 피부색을 바탕으로 얼굴을 검출하는 기존의 얼굴 검출 기능에서는 얼굴을 추적하기 위하여 이전 프레임에 검출된 얼굴 영역에 대하여 현재 프레임의 스킨 픽셀 비율을 사용한다. 이 방법은 동영상에서 얼굴 영역의 안정성은 뛰어나지만, 얼굴 추적 성능은 다소 떨어진다. 따라서 얼굴 추적 성능을 향상 시키기 위하여, 이전 프레임에 검출된 얼굴 영역과 현재 프레임에 검출된 얼굴 영역의 겹침을 조사하여 겹치는 영역의 면적을 이용하여 얼굴을 추적하는 방법을 제안하였다. 검증을 위하여 FPGA 보드와 모바일 폰 카메라용 CIS를 이용하여 실시간으로 얼굴 검출을 촬영하였고, 검출된 얼굴의 이동 궤적을 이용하여 성능을 검증하였다.

Purpose: Path planning and tracking algorithms applicable to various agricultural operations, such as tillage, planting, and spraying, are needed to generate steering angles for auto-guidance tractors to track a point ahead on the path. An optimal coverage path algorithm can enable a vehicle to effectively travel across a field by following a sequence of parallel paths with fixed spacing. This study proposes a path generation and tracking algorithm for an auto-guided Korean tractor with a tillage implement that generates a path with C-type turns and follows the generated path in a paddy field. A mathematical model was developed to generate a waypoint path for a tractor in a field. This waypoint path generation model was based on minimum tractor turning radius, waypoint intervals and LBOs (Limit of Boundary Offsets). At each location, the steering angle was calculated by comparing the waypoint angle and heading angle of the tractor. A path following program was developed with Labview-CVI to automatically read the waypoints and generate steering angles for the tractor to proceed to the next waypoint. A feasibility test of the developed program for real-time path tracking was performed with a mobile platform traveling on flat ground. The test results showed that the developed algorithm generated the desired path and steering angles with acceptable accuracy.
