Advanced signal processing techniques have been long introduced and widely used in structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). In our research, we applied several signal processing approaches for our embedded ultrasonic structural radar (EUSR) system to obtain improved damage detection results. The EUSR algorithm was developed to detect defects within a large area of a thin-plate specimen using a piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS) array. In the EUSR, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was first applied for signal de-noising. Secondly, after constructing the EUSR data, the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) were used for the time-frequency analysis. Then the results were compared thereafter. We eventually chose continuous wavelet transform to filter out from the original signal the component with the excitation signal's frequency. Third, cross correlation method and Hilbert transform were applied to A-scan signals to extract the time of flight (TOF) of the wave packets from the crack. Finally, the Hilbert transform was again applied to the EUSR data to extract the envelopes for final inspection result visualization. The EUSR system was implemented in LabVIEW. Several laboratory experiments have been conducted and have verified that, with the advanced signal processing approaches, the EUSR has enhanced damage detection ability.

We present a system for the real-time visual relative navigation of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle in a GPS-denied environment. An extended Kalman filter is used to construct a vision-aided navigation system by fusing the image processing results with barometer and inertial sensor measurements. Using a mean-shift object tracking algorithm, an onboard vision system provides pixel measurements to the navigation filter. The filter is slightly modified to deal with delayed measurements from the vision system. The image processing algorithm and the navigation filter are verified by flight tests. The results show that the proposed aerial system is able to maintain circling around a target without using GPS data.

This paper proposes database generation and management system for small-pixelized airborne target recognition. The proposed system has five main features: 1) image extraction from in-flight test video frames, 2) automatic image archiving, 3) image data labeling and Meta data annotation, 4) virtual image data generation based on color channel convert conversion and seamless cloning and 5) HOG/LBP-based tiny-pixelized target augmented image data. The proposed framework is Python-based PyQt5 and has an interface that includes OpenCV. Using video files collected from flight tests, an image dataset for airborne target recognition on generates by using the proposed system and system input.

The methods that are used for receiving data from attached devices under real-time preemptive multi-task operating system (OS) by general processors can be categorized as polling and interrupt driven. The technical approach to these methods may be different due to the application specific scheduling policy of the OS and the programming architecture of the flight software. It is one of the most important requirements on the development of the flight software to process the data received from satellite subsystems or components with the exact timeliness and accuracy. This paper presents the analysis of the I/O method of device related scheduling mechanism and the reliable data I/O methods between processor and devices.

SIGMA(Scientific cubesat with Instruments for Global Magnetic field and rAdiation) CubeSat has been developed for magnetic field measurement of the Earth and space radiation measurement at Kyung Hee university. The flight software plays important roles in controlling the satellite and processing the data in the space mission. In this paper, the Flight Software has been implemented to process all the tasks in the one thread without RTOS(Real Time Operating System). This is an effective mothed not only to concentrate the space mission of CubeSat but also to reduce the overhead of the Flight Software by considering the mission perform procedures and the system control methods.

This paper describes the development of an automated operational orbit processing system (KGS automated Operational Orbit Processing System, KOOPS), which can determine, evaluate, update, and generate the orbit data automatically. Developed system can be applied to the multi satellite mission operations as a generic satellite orbit processing system in that the KOOPS has a capability to process various kinds of tracking data and assign pre and post processes according to the satellite system respectively. Results of applying the KOOPS to the KOMPSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 mission operations show that man power is greatly reduced and the efficiency and stability of the mission operations are significantly increased. The experiences to develop the KOOPS and operate multi satellite missions using this system can be applied to enhance the multi and generic flight dynamics system further.

The flight controller(FC) used in small-sized drone was developed as simple structure does not perform complex operations because it uses different MCU with large-sized drone. Also, the balance control of small-sized drone should be simpler than Kalman filter using complex filter and the method using Complementary filter has relatively more operations. So, the method to realize the balance control on small-sized drone effectively using two-track control operating as proper method for above is suggested in this research. This method is a system maintaining effective balance with simple structure and less operations by operating adaptively for the unbalance of the drone with the acceleration sensor with the advantage which performing accurate correction by data processing for long term change and gyroscope sensor maintaining the balance of the drone by data processing for short term change. It is confirmed that stable operation was performed mostly based on the test result for repeatable test more than 100 times using two-track control and it maintained normal state operation more than 98% excluding the difficulty of maintaining normal operation when meets sudden and rapid wind yet.

Recently, while 3D sports game increases, the research that it recognizes the operation of the real user actively progresses. Most of all, the research about the golf is active. In this paper, the camera acquiring in a high-speed multi-exposure image measures the flight data of the golf ball through the image processing. While photographing, the high-speed camera, using this system, exposes an image at regular intervals. And line scan camera checks whether the golf ball passed or not. After the location information of the calculated golf ball calculates a speed and a direction by using the physical formula, it applies the golf simulation. After, this system is possible the measurement of the physical element of the spherical object.

This paper relates to a system for pre-processing high-definition images acquired through a camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) and transmitting them to a server through a mobile communication network. In the case of the existing UAV system for image acquisition service, the acquired image was stored in the external storage device of the camera mounted on the UAV, and the image was checked by directly moving the storage device after the flight was completed. In the case of this method, there is a limitation in that it is impossible to check whether image acquisition or pre-processing is properly performed before directly checking image data through an external storage device. In addition, since the data is stored only in an external storage device, there is a disadvantage that data sharing is cumbersome. In this paper, to solve the above problems, we propose a system that can remotely check images in real time. Furthermore, we propose a system and method capable of performing pre-processing such as geo-tagging and transmission through a mobile communication network in addition to image acquisition through shooting in an UAV.
