본 연구에서는 실내의 활동추적 시스템을 위해 가속도센서와 지자계 센서를 이용하여 외부로부터 독립적인 소형의 관성항법장치를 제안하였다. 기존의 실내 위치추적은 주로 GNSS(global navigation satellite system)의 정보를 가져와 실내 환경에 맞게 초음파와 RSSI(received signal strength indicator)등을 이용하여 구성한 경우가 연구되었으나 이러한 위성항법은 좌표 값이 미리 저장된 고정 노드가 필수적이라는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 환경과 같이 이동거리가 길지 않으며, 기존 환경 및 외부로부터의 영향에서 자유로운 관성항법을 이용한 실내 활동추적시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 지자계 센서와 3축 가속도 센서를 사용한 신호 계측부와 Zigbee기반의 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용한 무선 전송부를 구성하였으며, 계측된 데이터의 분석으로부터 실내 위치추적의 가능성을 평가하였다.

In this paper, a system that can collect GPS L1 C/A, GLONASS G1, and BDS B1I signals with single front-end receiver was implemented using a universal software radio peripheral (USRP) and its performance was verified. To acquire the global navigation satellite system signals, hardware was configured using USRP, antenna, external low-noise amplifier, and external oscillator. In addition, a value of optimum local oscillator frequency was selected to sample signals from three systems with L1-band with a low sampling rate as much as possible. The comparison result of C/N0 between the signal collection system using the proposed method and commercial receiver using double front-end showed that the proposed system had 0.7 ~ 0.8dB higher than that of commercial receiver for GPS L1 C/A signals and 1 ~ 2 dB lower than that of commercial receiver for GLONASS G1 and BDS B1I. Through the above results, it was verified that signals collected using the three systems with a single USRP had no significant error with that of commercial receiver. In the future, it is expected that the proposed system will be combined with software-defined radio (SDR) and advanced to a receiver that has a re-configuration channel.

In order to construct 3D geospatial information about the terrain, current measurement using a total station, remote sensing, GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) have been used. However, ground survey and GNSS survey have time and economic disadvantages because they have to be surveyed directly in the field. In case of using aerial photographs and satellite images, these methods have the disadvantage that it is difficult to obtain the three-dimensional shape of the terrain. The terrestrial LiDAR can acquire 3D information of X, Y, Z coordinate and shape obtained by scanning innumerable laser pulses at densely spaced intervals on the surface of the object to be observed at high density, and the processing can also be automated. In this study, terrestrial LiDAR was used to analyze slope displacement. Study area slopes were selected and data were acquired using LiDAR in 2016 and 2017. Data processing has been used to generate slope cross section and slope data, and the overlay analysis of the generated data identifies slope displacements within 0.1 m and suggests the possibility of using slope LiDAR on land to manage slopes. If periodic data acquisition and analysis is performed in the future, the method using the terrestrial lidar will contribute to effective risk slope management.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, AI(Artificial Intelligence) and IoT(Internet of Things) technologies are being applied to across various fields, with particularly prominence in asset management, disaster management, and meteorological observation. In these fields, it is necessary to accurately determine the real-time and precise tracking of the object's location and status, and to collect various data even in situations that are difficult to detect with existing sensors. In order to address these demands, the use of GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) is essential, and this technology enables the efficient management of assets, disaster prevent and response, and accurate weather forecasting. In this paper, we provide the investigated results for the latest trends in the application of GNSS in the fields of asset management, disaster management, and weather observation, among various fields incorporating AI and IoT and analyze them.

Recently, many nations are operating and developing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Also, Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), which uses the geostationary orbit, is operated presently in order to improve the performance of GNSS. The most widely-used SBAS is Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) of GPS developed by the United States. SBAS uses various algorithms to offer guaranteed accuracy, availability, continuity and integrity to its users. There is algorithm for guarantees the integrity of the satellite. This algorithm calculates the satellite errors, generates the correction and provides it to the users. The satellite orbit errors are calculated in three-dimensional space in this step. The reference placement is crucial for this three-dimensional calculation of satellite orbit errors. The wider the reference placement becomes, the wider LOS vectors spread, so the more the accuracy improves. For the next step, the regional features of the US and Korea need to be analyzed. Korea has a very narrow geographic features compared to the US. Hence, there may be a problem if the three-dimensional space method of satellite orbit error calculation is used without any modification. This paper suggests a method which uses scalar values to calculate satellite orbit errors instead of using three-dimensional space. Also, this paper proposes the feasibility for this method for a narrow area. The suggested method uses the scalar value, which is a projection of orbit errors on the LOS vector between a reference and a satellite. This method confirms the change in errors according to the baseline distance between Korea and America. The difference in the error change is compared to present the feasibility of the proposed method.

GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System)의 하나인 GPS(Global Positioning System)를 이용한 정밀 측위에 있어서 위성의 시계오차는 측위 정확도에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. GPS위성에는 세슘(Cs)과 루비듐(Rb)으로 이루어진 4개의 원자시계가 탑재되어있으며 현재 사용하고 있는 원자시계의 종류는 NANU(GPS Notice Advisory to Navster Users) 정보를 통해 알 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 IGS(International GNSS Service)에서 제공하는 sp3 파일과 clk 파일을 이용하여 위성시계 특성을 분석하였다. 2000년부터 2009년까지의 sp3 파일에서 각 PRN에 대한 위성시계오차 값을 추출하여 그래프로 분석하였다. 그 결과 대부분의 세슘시계는 직선형태, 루비듐시계는 곡선형태의 특성을 보였으나 일정한 경향은 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 3주간의 clk 파일에서 위성시계오차 값을 추출하여 각 PRN별로 1차식과 2차식으로 접합(fitting)하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 세슘시계의 위성시계오차 값의 경우 2차식보다 1차식이 추출 데이터와 일치함을 알 수 있었으며 세슘시계의 위성시계오차 값은 직선형태의 특성을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그리고 Modified Allan Deviation(MADEV) 방법을 적용하여 분석한 결과 GPS 위성의 block 별로 서로 다른 특성이 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, for the application of observation errors to the Korean Integrated Model (KIM) to utilize the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere & Climate-2 (COSMIC-2) new satellites, the observation errors were diagnosed based on the Desroziers method using the cost function in the process of variational data assimilation. We calculated observation errors for all observational species being utilized for KIM and compared with their relative values. The observation error of the calculated the Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation (GNSS RO) was about six times smaller than that of other satellites. In order to balance with other satellites, we conducted two experiments in which the GNSS RO data expanded by about twice the observation error. The performance of the analysis field was significantly improved in the tropics, where the COSMIC-2 data are more available, and in the Southern Hemisphere, where the influence of GNSS RO data is significantly greater. In particular, the prediction performance of the Southern Hemisphere was improved by doubling the observation error in global region, rather than doubling the COSMIC-2 data only in areas with high density, which seems to have been balanced with other observations.

This study aims to develop a multi-camera based MMS (Mobile Mapping System) technology for building a HD (High Definition) map for autonomous driving and for quick update. To replace expensive lidar sensors and reduce long processing times, we intend to develop a low-cost and efficient MMS by applying multiple cameras and real-time data pre-processing. To this end, multi-camera storage technology development, multi-camera time synchronization technology development, and MMS prototype development were performed. We developed a storage module for real-time JPG compression of high-speed images acquired from multiple cameras, and developed an event signal and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) time server-based synchronization method to record the exposure time multiple images taken in real time. And based on the requirements of each sector, MMS was designed and prototypes were produced. Finally, to verify the performance of the manufactured multi-camera-based MMS, data were acquired from an actual 1,000 km road and quantitative evaluation was performed. As a result of the evaluation, the time synchronization performance was less than 1/1000 second, and the position accuracy of the point cloud obtained through SFM (Structure from Motion) image processing was around 5 cm. Through the evaluation results, it was found that the multi-camera based MMS technology developed in this study showed the performance that satisfies the criteria for building a HD map.

As an alternative navigation system for the non-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) environment, a new type of DBRN (DataBase Referenced Navigation) which applies both gravity gradient and terrain, and combines filter-based algorithm with profile matching was suggested. To improve the stability of the performance compared to the previous study, both centralized and decentralized EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) were constructed based on gravity gradient and terrain data, and one of filters was selected in a timely manner. Then, the final position of a moving vehicle was determined by combining a position from the filter with the one from a profile matching. In the simulation test, it was found that the overall performance was improved to the 19.957m by combining centralized and decentralized EKF compared to the centralized EKF that of 20.779m. Especially, the divergence of centralized EKF in two trajectories located in the plain area disappeared. In addition, the average horizontal error decreased to the 16.704m by re-determining the final position using both filter-based and profile matching solutions. Of course, not all trajectories generated improved performance but there is not a large difference in terms of their horizontal errors. Among nine trajectories, eights show smaller than 20m and only one has 21.654m error. Thus, it would be concluded that the endemic problem of performance inconsistency in the single geophysical DB or algorithm-based DBRN was resolved because the combination of geophysical data and algorithms determined the position with a consistent level of error.
