To maintain the existing systems of ships and introduce autonomous operation technology, it is necessary to improve situational awareness through the sensor fusion of the automatic identification system (AIS) and automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA), which are installed sensors. This study proposes an algorithm for determining whether AIS and ARPA signals are sent to the same ship in real time. To minimize the number of errors caused by the time series and abnormal phenomena of heterogeneous signals, a tracking method based on the combination of the unscented Kalman filter and probabilistic data association filter is performed on ARPA radar signals, and a position prediction method is applied to AIS signals. Especially, the proposed algorithm determines whether the signal is for the same vessel by comparing motion-related components among data of heterogeneous signals to which the corresponding method is applied. Finally, a measurement test is conducted on a training ship. In this process, the proposed algorithm is validated using the AIS and ARPA signal data received by the voyage data recorder for the same ship. In addition, the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the test results with those obtained from raw data. Therefore, it is recommended to use a sensor fusion algorithm that considers the characteristics of sensors to improve the situational awareness accuracy of existing ship systems.

Currently, various sensors have been used for advanced driver assistance systems. In order to overcome the limitations of individual sensors, sensor fusion has recently attracted the attention in the field of intelligence vehicles. Thus, vision and radar based sensor fusion has become a popular concept. The typical method of sensor fusion involves vision sensor that recognizes targets based on ROIs (Regions Of Interest) generated by radar sensors. Especially, because AVM (Around View Monitor) cameras due to their wide-angle lenses have limitations of detection performance over near distance and around the edges of the angle of view, for high performance of sensor fusion using AVM cameras and radar sensors the exact ROI extraction of the radar sensor is very important. In order to resolve this problem, we proposed a sensor fusion scheme based on commercial radar modules of the vendor Delphi. First, we configured multiple radar data logging systems together with AVM cameras. We also designed radar post-processing algorithms to extract the exact ROIs. Finally, using the developed hardware and software platforms, we verified the post-data processing algorithm under indoor and outdoor environments.

응용프로그램은 그 목적에 따라 최적의 데이터 모델을 활용하며, 이러한 응용프로그램을 위한 3차원 모델링 데이터는 선택된 데이터 모델을 기반으로 생성된다. 이러한 이유로, 동일한 공간의 지형지물을 표현하기 위해 다양한 데이터 셋이 존재한다. 그러한 중복된 데이터 셋은 공간정보 산업의 재정적 측면에서 문제를 가져올 뿐만 아니라, 시스템호환성과 데이터 비교가능성에서도 심각한 문제를 야기한다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 항목클래스내의 공간객체들 간의 위상적 관계를 이용하여 TRM (Topological Relation Method)이라고 하는 공간데이터융합 방법을 제안한다. TRM은 응용프로그램 수준에서 구현되는 공간데이터 융합방법으로써, 서로 다른 데이터 모델에 의해 생성된 기하데이터들을 응용시스템에서 어떠한 데이터 변환이나 교환 과정을 거치지 않고, 직접적으로 실내공간 위치기반 서비스에 제공하기 위해 사용된다. 이러한 위상관계는 IndoorGML의 기본 개념으로 정의 및 기술된다. TRM의 개념을 기술한 후, 3D GIS상에서 제안된 데이터 융합방법의 실험적 구현을 보여준다. 마지막으로서 본 연구의 한계와 향후 연구에 대해 정리한다.

항행중인 선박은 GPS, AIS, ECDIS, ARPA Radar 등 다양한 해양 장비를 통해 선내 외 상황에 대한 여러 정보들을 전달받고, 항해사는 이러한 다양한 정보를 이용하여 자선박의 항행 안전 상황을 인식 및 예측한다. 하지만 그로 인해 항해사의 장비 주시에 대한 업무 부담이 이전보다 증가하였으며, 때로는 장비 간 정보의 불일치가 발생하여 항해사를 혼란시키기도 한다. 이전 연구에서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 항해사를 보조할수 있는 지능형 항행안전 정보 시스템의 개념모델과 CF(Certainty Factor)전문가 시스템을 이용한 그 개념모델의 예를 보인 바 있다. 정보 융합 기술에는 다양한 추론 기술들이 요구되는데 CF전문가 시스템만으로는 항해사의 의사결정과 같이 애매하고 불명확한 요소를 반영할 수 없다. 이 연구에서는 불명확한 요소를 반영할 수 있는 퍼지 전문가 시스템을 이용한 항행 정보 융합 방법을 제안하고, 제안된 방법을 설계 및 구현한 후 특정 시나리오에 대한 실행 예를 보임으로써 항행 정보 융합 시스템에 퍼지 전문가 시스템을 활용하는 것의 타당성을 보인다.

Yaw rate filtering based road curvature and vision sensor road curvature are fused into the one curvature by weighting factor which are considering characteristics of each curvature data. The proposed driving path estimation algorithm has been investigated via simulation performed on a vehicle package Carsim and Matlab/Simulink. It has been shown via simulation that the proposed driving path estimation algorithm improves primary target detection rate.

In this paper, we present the multimodal system based on the fusion of two user-friendly biometric modalities: Iris and Face. In order to reach robust identification and verification we are going to combine two different biometric features. we specifically apply 2-D discrete wavelet transform to extract the feature sets of low dimensionality from iris and face. And then to obtain Reduced Joint Feature Vector(RJFV) from these feature sets, Direct Linear Discriminant Analysis (DLDA) is used in our multimodal system. In addition, the Synergetic Neural Network(SNN) is used to obtain matching score of the preprocessed data. This system can operate in two modes: to identify a particular person or to verify a person's claimed identity. Our results for both cases show that the proposed method leads to a reliable person authentication system.

Recent developments in Smart Structures with very large scale embedded sensors and actuators have introduced new challenges in terms of data processing and sensor fusion. These smart structures are dynamically classified as a large-scale system with thousands of sensors and actuators that form the musculoskeletal of the structure, analogous to human body. In order to develop structural health monitoring and diagnostics with data provided by thousands of sensors, new sensor informatics has to be developed. The focus of our on-going research is to develop techniques and algorithms that would utilize this musculoskeletal system effectively; thus creating the intelligence for such a large-scale autonomous structure. To achieve this level of intelligence, three major research tasks are being conducted: development of a Bio-Inspired data analysis and information extraction from thousands of sensors; development of an analytical technique for Optimal Sensory System using Structural Observability; and creation of a bio-inspired decision-making and control system. This paper is focused on the results of our effort on the first task, namely development of a Neuro-Morphic Engineering approach, using a neuro-symbolic data manipulation, inspired by the understanding of human information processing architecture, for sensor fusion and structural diagnostics.

Base Station Cooperation (BSC) has been a promising technique for combating the Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) by exchanging information through a high-speed optical fiber back-haul to increase the diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a novel pilot symbol assisted data fusion scheme for distributed Uplink BSC (UBSC) based on Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. Furthermore, the proposed scheme exploits the pre-defined pilot symbols as the sample of transmitted symbols to constitute a sub-optimal Weight Calculation (WC) model. To circumvent the non-linear programming problem of the proposed sub-optimal model, DE algorithm is employed for searching the proper fusion weights. Compared with the existing equal weights based soft combining scheme, the proposed scheme can adaptively adjust the fusion weights according to the accuracy of cooperative information, which remains the relatively low computational complexity and back-haul traffic. Performance analysis and simulation results show that, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the system performance with the pilot settings of the existing standards.
