  • We propose a method of sensing the rotation and distance of a camera by using a fisheye lens system as a vision sensor. We estimate the rotation angle of a camera with a modified correlation method by clipping similar regions to avoid symmetry problems and suppressing highlight areas. In order to eliminate the rectification process of the distorted points of a fisheye lens image, we introduce an offline process using the normalized focal length, which does not require the image sensor size. We also formulate an equation for calculating the distance of a camera movement by matching the feature points of the test image with those of the reference image.

  • We consider quantization optimized for distributed estimation, where a set of sensors at different sites collect measurements on the parameter of interest, quantize them, and transmit the quantized data to a fusion node, which then estimates the parameter. Here, we propose an iterative quantizer design algorithm with a weighted distance rule that allows us to reduce a system-wide metric such as the estimation error by constructing quantization partitions with their optimal weights. We show that the search for the weights, the most expensive computational step in the algorithm, can be conducted in a sequential manner without deviating from convergence, leading to a significant reduction in design complexity. Our experments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves improved performance over traditional quantizer designs. The benefit of the proposed technique is further illustrated by the experiments providing similar estimation performance with much lower complexity as compared to the recently published novel algorithms.

  • Basu et al. (1998) proposed a new density-based estimator, called the minimum density power divergence estimator (MDPDE), which avoid the use of nonparametric density estimation and associated complication such as bandwidth selection. Woodward et al. (1995) examined the minimum Hellinger distance estimator (MHDE), proposed by Beran (1977), in the case of estimation of the mixture proportion in the mixture of two normals. In this article, we introduce the MDPDE for a mixture proportion, and show that both the MDPDE and the MHDE have the same asymptotic distribution at a model. Simulation study identifies some cases where the MHDE is consistently better than the MDPDE in terms of bias.

  • In this paper, we propose a distance relaying algorithm using a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-based modified phasor estimation method to eliminate the adverse influence of exponentially decaying DC offsets. Most distance relays are based on estimating phasors of the voltage and current signals. A DFT is generally used to calculate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component in digital protective relays. However, the output of the DFT contains an error due to exponentially decaying DC offsets. For this reason, distance relays have a tendency to over-reach or under-reach in the presence of DC offset components in a fault current. Therefore, the decaying DC components should be taken into consideration when calculating the phasor of the fundamental frequency component of a relaying signal. The error due to DC offsets in a DFT is calculated and eliminated using the outputs of an even-sample-set DFT and an odd-sample-set DFT, so that the phasor of the fundamental component can be accurately estimated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated for a-phase to ground faults on a 345 kV, 50 km, simple overhead transmission line. The Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) is used to generate fault signals. The evaluation results indicate that adopting the proposed algorithm in distance relays can effectively suppress the adverse influence of DC offsets.

  • 스마트폰을 이용한 실내 위치 추적 기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 스마트폰의 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정하여 사용자의 이동 경로를 지도에 표시하여야 한다. 스마트폰에 탑재 되어있는 센서를 이용한 위치 추적 기술은 오래 전부터 사용 되어 왔으나, 센서만 이용하여 사용자의 이동 거리를 측정하기에는 정확하지 못하다. 따라서 사용자가 스마트폰을 일정한 자세로 들고 이동할 때, 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 적절한 알고리즘을 연구 개발해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 피라미드 기반 광류 추정 방법에서 스마트폰의 화면을 제한하여 사용자의 발모양을 제거함으로써 이동거리 추정 오차를 줄이기 위한 방법을 제안하고, 실험으로 그 성능을 검증하였다.

  • This paper proposed a new real time catenary impedance estimation technique using synchronized power data from the measured data of operating vehicle and substation for catenary protective relay and fault locator setting. This paper presented estimation equation of catenary impedance using synchronized power data between substation and vehicle of AT feeding system for the performance verification of the proposed technique. Also AC feeding system is modeled through power analysis program and performance was verified through simulation according to various load changes. We verified that average 2.38%(distance equivalent 23.8 m) error appeared between the proposed estimation equation of catenary impedance and power analysis program simulation output in no connection double track system between up track and down track. Furthermore, We confirmed that estimation error is bigger depending on the increasing the distance from substation and vehicle impedance using only using vehicle current when calculating vehicle impedance in connection double track system between up track and down track. But, We confirmed that the proposed technique estimated accurately catenary impedance regardless of vehicle impedance and distance from substation.

  • Vibration data from two blasting sites were analyzed to determine the sufficient sample number for blasting vibration estimation. Most important result is that much more than 30 sample data and succeeding measurement are necessary to estimate confident blasting vibration level and to determine limit scaled distance.

  • Standard estimation methods for linear mixed models are sensitive to influential observations. However, tools and concepts for linear mixed model diagnostics are rudimentary until now and research is heavily demanded in linear mixed models. In this paper, we consider two diagnostics to evaluate the effects of individual observations in the estimation of fixed effects for linear mixed models. Those are Cook's distance and COVRATIO. Results of our limited simulation study suggest that the Cook's distance is not good statistical quantity in linear mixed models. Also calibration point for COVRATIO seems to be quite conservative.

  • In order to improve the reliability of cost estimation results using CBR, there has been a continuous issue on similarity measurement to accurately compute the distance among attributes and cases to retrieve the most similar singular or plural cases. However, these existing similarity measures have limitations in taking the covariance among attributes into consideration and reflecting the effects of covariance in computation of distances among attributes. To deal with this challenging issue, this research examines the weighted Mahalanobis distance based similarity measure applied to CBR cost estimation and carries out the comparative study on the existing distance measurement methods of CBR. To validate the suggest CBR cost model, leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) using two different sets of simulation data are carried out. Consequently, this research is expected to provide an analysis of covariance effects in similarity measurement and a basis for further research on the fundamentals of case retrieval.

  • 본 논문에서는 영상 센서를 이용한 강인한 차량 검출 및 차간거리 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 차량 검출 알고리즘은 차량의 가장 큰 특징인 차량 하단의 그림자부분과 차량의 뒷바퀴 부분을 추출하기 위해 Haar-like 특징들과 차량 뒷부분의 방향성 에지특징을 동시에 활용하기 때문에 더욱 강인한 차량 검출 효과가 있다. 차량의 그림자에 해당하는 Haar-like 특징에 추가적인 방향성 에지특징은 차량이 아닌 부분을 잘못 검출하는 오검출률(false-positive error)을 현격히 줄이는 효과가 있고, 차량 추적기법을 통해 전체적인 수행 속도를 크게 개선한다. 그리고 차간거리 추정 알고리즘에서는 먼저 영상에 나타난 차량의 위치를 통해 추정하는 방법과 차량의 폭을 이용한 두 방법의 장단점을 분석한 후, 차량의 위치를 이용하는 방법이 가지고 있는 문제점과 차량의 폭을 이용한 방법의 단점을 극복하면서, 차간거리의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 개선된 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 차량 검출 및 차간거리 추정 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증하기 위해 다양한 실험영상들을 통해 그 효과를 입증한다.
