Tilt is a key indicator of structural safety. Real-time monitoring of tilt responses helps to evaluate structural condition, enable cost-effective maintenance, and enhance lifetime resilience. This paper presents a prototype wireless sensing system for structural tilt measurement. Long range (LoRa) technology is adopted by the sensing system to offer long-range wireless communication with low power consumption. The sensor integrates a gyroscope and an accelerometer as the sensing module. Although tilt can be estimated from the gyroscope or the accelerometer measurements, these estimates suffer from either drift issue or high noise. To address this challenging issue and obtain more reliable tilt results, two sensor fusion algorithms, the complementary filter and the Kalman filter, are investigated to fully exploit the advantages of both gyroscope and accelerometer measurements. Numerical simulation is carried out to validate and compare the sensor fusion algorithms. Laboratory experiment is conducted on a simply supported beam under moving vehicle load to further investigate the performance of the proposed wireless tilt sensing system.

A distributed system for tracking multiple targets with a pair of multifunction radars is proposed and implemented. The system performs track-to-track association and track-to-track fusion at the fusion center to form fused tracks. The association and fusion are performed using target state information linked via communication nodes from a radar at a remote location. Many factors can affect the track-to-track association and fusion performances. They include delays in data transmission buffer of the remote radar, the error in estimating time-stamp of the remote radar, and the gating in track-to-track association. The effects on association and fusion performances due to these factors are investigated through extensive numerical simulations.

IEEE 802.22 WRAN의 사용을 위해서는 TV 대역의 스펙트럼 센싱이 필수적이다. 그러나 WRAN의 센싱 요구조건을 만족하기 위해서는 긴 휴지 시간이 필요하고 쉐도윙 등의 환경적인 요인에 의해 기면허 사용자를 검출하지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 협력 센싱을 통해 각 CPE의 센싱 요구 조건을 완화시키거나 스펙트럼 센싱의 신뢰성을 높인다. 일반적으로 협력 센싱은 k-out-of-N 규칙이 단순한 계산으로 인해 많이 사용된다. 그러나 이 방식의 경우 각 CPE의 SNR의 차이가 많은 경우 협력 센싱을 통해 얻은 센싱 성능이 가장 좋은 SNR을 가지는 CPE의 검출 성능보다 나쁘게 나타난다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 각 노드의 SNR올 반영하여 데이터 퓨전을 수행하는 방법들이 제안되는데 본 논문에서는 새로운 확신 벡터를 이용한 데이터 퓨젼 방식을 제안하였으며 전산 모의 실험 결과 제안된 방식이 기존 방식보다 검출 성능이 개선된 것으로 나타났다.

To ensure high quality data being used for data mining or feature extraction in the bridge structural health monitoring (SHM) system, a practical sensor fault diagnosis methodology has been developed based on the similarity of symmetric structure responses. First, the similarity of symmetric response is discussed using field monitoring data from different sensor types. All the sensors are initially paired and sensor faults are then detected pair by pair to achieve the multi-fault diagnosis of sensor systems. To resolve the coupling response issue between structural damage and sensor fault, the similarity for the target zone (where the studied sensor pair is located) is assessed to determine whether the localized structural damage or sensor fault results in the dissimilarity of the studied sensor pair. If the suspected sensor pair is detected with at least one sensor being faulty, field test could be implemented to support the regression analysis based on the monitoring and field test data for sensor fault isolation and reconstruction. Finally, a case study is adopted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. As a result, Dasarathy's information fusion model is adopted for multi-sensor information fusion. Euclidean distance is selected as the index to assess the similarity. In conclusion, the proposed method is practical for actual engineering which ensures the reliability of further analysis based on monitoring data.

In this study, a neural network model inspired by a one-dimensional convolution U-net is developed to automatically accelerate edge localized mode (ELM) detection from big diagnostic data of fusion devices and increase the detection accuracy regardless of the hyperparameter setting. This model recognizes the input signal patterns and overcomes the problems of existing detection algorithms, such as the prominence algorithm and those of differential methods with high sensitivity for the threshold and signal intensity. To train the model, 10 sets of discharge radiation data from the KSTAR are used and sliced into 11091 inputs of length 12 ms, of which 20% are used for validation. According to the receiver operating characteristic curves, our model shows a positive prediction rate and a true prediction rate of approximately 90% each, which is comparable to the best detection performance afforded by other algorithms using their optimized hyperparameters. The accurate and automatic ELM-burst detection methodology used in our model can be beneficial for determining plasma properties, such as the ELM frequency from big data measured in multiple experiments using machines from the KSTAR device and ITER. Additionally, it is applicable to feature detection in the time-series data of other engineering fields.

본 논문에서는 Inertial Navigation System (INS)와 Ultrasonic-SATellite (U-SAT)의 센서융합을 기반으로 100mm 이하의 정밀위치측정 시스템을 보여준다. INS는 자이로와 두 개의 엔코더로 구성되고, U-SAT는 네 개의 송신기와 한 개의 수신기로 구성하였다. 구성된 센서들은 정밀한 정밀위치측정을 위하여 Extended Kalman Filler (EKF)를 통해 센서들을 융합하였다. 위치측정의 성능을 증명하기 위해 본 논문에서는 로봇이 0.5 m/s의 속도로 주행한 실제 데이터(직진, 곡선)와 시뮬레이션을 통한 실험을 하였으며, 실험에 사용된 위치측정방법은 일반적인 센서융합과 INS 데이터만을 칼만 필터에 이용한 센서융합을 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실제 데이터를 통해 실험한 결과, INS 데이터만을 칼만 필터에 이용한 센서융합이 더 정밀함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a sensor-fusion technique where the data sets for the previous moments are properly transformed and fused into the current data sets to enable accurate measurement, such as, distance to an obstacle and location of the service robot itself. In the conventional fusion schemes, the measurement is dependent on the current data sets. As the results, more of sensors are required to measure a certain physical parameter or to improve the accuracy of the measurement. However, in this approach, instead of adding more sensors to the system , the temporal sequence of the data sets are stored and utilized for the measurement improvement. Theoretical basis is il lustrated by examples and...

An automatic approach and strategy for extracting building information from aerial images using combined image analysis and interpretation techniques is described in this paper. A dense DSM is obtained by stereo image matching. Multi-band classification, DSM, texture segmentation and Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are used to reveal building interest areas. Then, based on the derived approximate building areas, a shape modelling algorithm based on the level set formulation of curve and surface motion has been used to precisely delineate the building boundaries. Data fusion, based on the Dempster-Shafer technique, is used to interpret simultaneously knowledge from several data sources of the same region, to find the intersection of propositions on extracted information derived from several datasets, together with their associated probabilities. A number of test areas, which include buildings with different sizes, shape and roof colour have been investigated. The tests are encouraging and demonstrate that the system is effective for building extraction, and the determination of more accurate elevations of the terrain surface.
