In this paper, we focus on the developments of complex location awareness algorithms for real-time location based service and precise/stable localization in the outdoor. In the case of using galileo satellite system along with GPS, several error factor such as the ionosphere can be reduced for an increment of used frequency and visible satellites. Therefore, localization estimation error is no longer having problems with location awareness. But, chips synchronization error induces the error of acquisition and tracking, and the performance of receiver can be decreased. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a correlator for performance improvement of receiver in the precise localization.

This study supplements the existing bus information system's weakness which is a text-based system, transmits GUI based user request contents, design and implements the bus information system using smart-phone GPS. The existing bus information system had to install the terminals on the bus and take enormous expenses on maintenance with setting up the direction board on each bus station. The proposed system provides bus route and user location using the smart-phone map screen, finds the nearest bus station, indicates the bus route on map screen, applies our algorithm which increases accuracy of the bus arriving time, and provides route construction of the inner-cycle bus. The accuracy of the estimated bus arriving time has increased to about 88.71% which is 22.71% more than the existing system whose accuracy is 67% and improved into GUI form that the existing system was on text and table UI. Consequently, the upgraded bus information system uses the smart-phone GPS to supplement the existing bus information system and satisfies different requests of users.

The conventional assistive tool for visually impaired people provide Simple service using a ultrasound, or an RFID tag to identify the obstacles. It is impossible to clear guide and has a vulnerability to unforeseen circumstances because of short recognition distance, The ARM Cortex-A9 Platform based implementation of the Portable Navigation System and Service Center will help the visually impaired gait. The Service Center will also provide solution for the lack of jobs due to the increase of the aging population. Navigation System that the visually impaired can carry possessing devices such as a camera, GPS, Audio, Ethernet transmit Image shown at the location of the visually impaired, GPS information and Sound Via TCP / IP. The staff of the service center receives information and can provide directions by communicating with them. So, the system can provide effective guidance to the visually impaired.

GPS is the representative positioning technology for providing the location information. This technique has the disadvantage that does not operate in the shadow areas, such as urban or dense forest and the interior. This paper proposes a hybrid indoor positioning algorithm, which estimates a more accurate location of the terminal using strength of the Wi-Fi signal from the indoor AP. To determine the location of the user, we establish the most appropriate path loss model for the measurement environment. by using the RSSI value measured in a variety of environment such as building structure, person, distance, etc. The path loss exponent obtained by the path loss model is changed according to the environment. REKF, PF estimate the position of the terminal by using measured value from the AP with path loss exponent. For more accurate position estimation, we select positioning system by the value of threshold measured by experiments rather than a single positioning system. Experimental results using the proposed hybrid algorithm show that the performance is improved by about 17% than the conventional single positioning method.

As the centralization of city, underground facilities is increasing and being more important. Although the importance of underground facilities map has been emphasized, there were many accidents related underground facilities. The inaccuracy of existing data and the carelessness of management caused many accidents. It is very important to update and to have high quality accuracy of underground facilities maps. But the underground facilities maps are mapped and updated by each institutes. So it is difficult to verify the accuracy of the data. In this study, Field Test is performed to analyze the horizontal accuracy of existing maps using Electromegnetic Induction Method, Total Station and GPS. Surveying of underground facilities in Seoul was performed for 6 institutes of underground facilities during 3 years. The aim of this study is to verify the horizontal accuracy of data and to improve the accuracy of underground facility maps. As the result of analysis, the horizontal accuracy of 6 underground facilities management institutes is 73 cm(2004), 78 cm(2005) and 75 cm(2006).

Recently, the direct georeferencing has been becoming a common method in the aerial photogrammetry. As this direct georeferencing method using converged sensor of the digital photogrammetry camera and GPS(Global Positioning System)/INS(Inertial navaigation System), more rapid and accurate aerial photogrammetry has improved following advanced performance in photogrammetry. Since the accuracy of EO parameters from the direct georeferencing is determined by GPS/INS accuracy, it is significant to calculate the exact attitude information using values of INS rotations. For following calculations, the misalignment, such as INS rotation and the gap of GPS/INS, has to be decided. Because the number of ground control points are used for tirangulation and boresight calibration, those results should be different according to array and location of ground control points. In the study, those location and array of ground control points were tested to be used boresight calibration. As a result, there is no significant change of misalignment and exterior orienation parameters in the case when ground control points were at all course. On the contrarily, the difference has been shown in the case of no ground control point at course.

위치, 항법 및 시각정보가 육상, 해상, 항공 등 지구상 거의 모든 공간에서 다양한 목적으로 활용되고 있는 위성항법시스템(GNSS, Global Navigation Satelite System)은 그 중요성이 더욱 높아지고 있으며 미국이 제공해 주는 GPS의 고의잡음(SA)제거 및 성능 향상을 통하여 GNSS를 이용한 응용분야의 발전은 더욱 확대되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 위성항법시스템의 P.N.T(Position, Navigation and Timing) 서비스 기능을 사회의 전박적인 주요 인프라 시설에 기초적인 원리의 정확성을 더하고 지속성과 무결함성을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 신뢰성을 가지고 여러분야에 활용되고 있으나 지상에서 약20,200km 고도에 위치한 인공위성에서 미약한 신호를 송신함으로써 GNSS 수신기가 의도적이든 비의도적이든 동일한 주파수 밴드의 신호에 영향을 받을 경우 정상적인 역할을 할 수 없다. 우리나라의 경우 P.N.T 서비스 기반 자체가 GPS에 전적으로 의존하고 있으며 유사시 이를 대체할 항법 시스템을 별도로 갖추고 있지 않고 있어 미국의 고의적인 GPS 서비스의 중단이나 주변국가의 방해전파 송신으로 인한 GPS 신호 중단사태가 발생할 경우에는 우리나라 국가 주요 인프라에 치명적인 피해를 입힐 수 있기 때문에 대체항법을 시스템을 구축하여 독자적인 P.N.T 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 국가적인 차원에서 절실하게 필요하다.

This paper presents a navigation system based on the tactical communication and vision system in outdoor environments which is applied to unmanned robot for perimeter surveillance operations. GPS errors of robot are compensated by the reference station of C2(command and control) vehicle and WiBro(Wireless Broadband) is used for the communication between two systems. In the outdoor environments, GPS signals can be easily blocked due to trees and buildings. In this environments, however, vision system is very efficient because there are many features. With the feature MAP around the operation environments, the robot can estimate the position by the image matching and pose estimation. In the navigation system, thus, operation modes is switched by navigation manager according to some environment conditions. The experimental results show that the unmanned robot can estimate the position very accurately in outdoor environment.

This paper proposes an E-Commerce service that supports large quantities of food waste sales generated by collective residences, including apartments, to consumers in urban areas, such as livestock farmers, through online transactions. Unlike general E-Commerce, the proposed service uses a smart food waste bin equipped with an IoT-based sensor and communication module to automatically collect the location information of each apartment and the amount of food waste to be displayed in a specialized E-Commerce platform. The key of this system is to provide information and sell it to consumers. The smart food waste bin periodically delivers its current capacity and location using a weight sensor, GPS sensor and LoRa communication module to a cloud-based database to be used in web or mobile applications. The proposed E-Commerce service is expected to help resolve the food waste disposal problem and revitalize the local economy by linking with a service that delivers food waste from each apartment to a nearby location where the buyer is located.
