소형무인항공기의 경우 유효탑재하중의 여유가 많지 않기 때문에 AHRS의 소형화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 소형무인항공기를 위해 소형, 경량으로 설계 제작한 AHRS의 성능을 가속도 외란이 적은 환경에서 시험하고 평가하였다. 센서는 저가의 MEMS 제품을 사용했으며 자세 보정을 위해 가속도계와 지자기계가 같이 사용되었다. 자세계산에는 특이점이 존재하지 않고 비교적 계산이 간단한 쿼터니언을 사용했으며 자세 보정 알고리듬에는 칼만필터가 사용되었다. 본 논문에서는 소형무인항공기에 성공적으로 적용된 사례가 있는 상용 항법장치와의 비교를 통해 설계된 AHRS의 성능시험을 진행하였다. 설계된 AHRS의 자세 데이터가 상용 항법장치와 수직축 $0.5^{\circ}$이내, 수평축 $1.5^{\circ}$ 이내로 허용 가능한 차이를 가지는 것을 보였으며, 본 시험환경 내에서 소형무인항공기제어에 적합한 자세각 출력을 내는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose the hardware and software of a test-bed of a hovering AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle). Test-bed to develop as the underwater robot for the hovering -type is planning to apply for marine resource development and exploration for deep sea. The RTU that controls a azimuth thruster and a vertical thruster of test-bed is a intergrated-type thruster. The main control unit that collects sensor's data and performs high-speed processing and controls a movement of test-bed is a underwater hybrid navigation system. Also it transfers position, posture, state information of test-bed to the host PC of user using a wireless communication. The host PC checks a test-bed in real time by using a realtime monitoring system that is implemented by LabVIEW.

This paper presents a localization system using ceiling images in a large indoor environment. For a system with low cost and complexity, we propose a single camera based system that utilizes ceiling images acquired from a camera installed to point upwards. For reliable operation, we propose a method using hybrid features which include natural landmarks in a natural scene and artificial landmarks observable in an infrared ray domain. Compared with previous works utilizing only infrared based features, our method reduces the required number of artificial features as we exploit both natural and artificial features. In addition, compared with previous works using only natural scene, our method has an advantage in the convergence speed and robustness as an observation of an artificial feature provides a crucial clue for robot pose estimation. In an experiment with challenging situations in a real environment, our method was performed impressively in terms of the robustness and accuracy. To our knowledge, our method is the first ceiling vision based localization method using features from both visible and infrared rays domains. Our system can be easily utilized with a variety of service robot applications in a large indoor environment.

Education and training of technical staff for the new generation technological equipment has a vital importance for developing countries in order to maintain sustainable development and keep up with new generation technologies. Mechatronics the synergistic combination of mechanical, electronic and software engineering from an engineering perspective to serve the purposes of controlling advanced hybrid systems is a product of new generation technology which can be given as a sample to this phenomenon. Recent marine engines are combination of heavy industry with high technology. Nowadays, ships are built in full automation and equipped with computer controlled mechatronics systems. However, finding qualified officer and engineers who can operate, maintain, control and repair when it is required such full automatic systems with knowledge of a new generation system became a serious issue. Due to importance of this fact STCW Manila amendment has new training and certification requirements for electro-technical officers. In this paper, Mechatronics applications on ship are introduced, importance of it highlighted and a new syllabus is proposed for the training of marine engineers to be nurtured with mechatronics knowledge as it is required.

This paper addresses solutions th the challenges of carrier phase integer ambiguity resolution and cycle slip detection/identification, for maintaining high accuracy of an integrated GPS/Pseudolite/INS system. Such a hybrid positioning and navigation system is an augmentation of standard GPS/INS systems in localized areas. To achieve the goal of high accuracy, the carrier phase measurements with correctly estimated integer ambiguities must be utilized to update the system integration filter's states. The contribution presents an effective approach to increase the reliability and speed of integer ambiguity resolution through using pseudolite and INS measurements, with special emphasis on reducing the ambiguity search space. In addition, an algorithm which can effectively detect and correct the cycle slips is described as well. The algorithm utilizes additional position information provided by the INS, and applies a statistical technique known as th cumulative-sun (CUSUM) test that is very sensitive to abrupt changes of mean values. Results of simulation studies and field tests indicate that the algorithms are performed pretty well, so that the accuracy and performance of the integrated system can be maintained, even if cycle slips exist in the raw GPS measurements.

최근 무선 인터넷 환경의 발달로 실시간 교통정보안내와 지도를 통해 목적지까지의 경로 안내를 해주는 차량 항법 서비스 등 공간 데이터를 활용한 위치기반서비스가 증가되고 있다. 하지만, 현재 시스템 환경에서는 대용량의 공간 데이터를 파일 시스템 기반으로 관리하기 때문에 실시간적인 데이터 저장과 관리측면에서 많은 제약을 가진다. 이를 보완하기 위해 임베디드 데이티베이스를 바탕으로 대용량의 공간 데이터를 구조적으로 관리할 수 있는 연구가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구는 임베디드 시스템에서 대용량의 공간 데이터의 효율적인 저장을 위해 데이터베이스에 적용 가능한 바이트패킹과 Lempel-Ziv 압축기법을 혼합 개선한 무손실 압축 기법을 제시하고자 하였다. 이렇게 제시된 공간 데이터 압축 기법을 실제 대도시권 데이터(서울 인천)에 적용하여 실험해 보고 농일 데이터에 대하여 실험을 통해 재구성이 되기까지의 질의 처리 시간을 분석을 통해 선행 연구에서 제시한 방법을 적용한 결과와 비교 하였다. 연구결과로 본 연구에서 제시된 압축 방법이 높은 위치 정확도를 요구하는 데이터에 대해 더 나은 성능을 보이는 것을 획인 할 수 있었다.

Personalized media includes user-targeted and user-generated content (UGC) exchanged through social media and interactive applications. The increased consumption of UGC presents challenges and opportunities to multimedia information systems. We work towards modeling a deep structure for content networks. To gain insights, a hybrid practice with Media Framework (MF) is presented for network creation of personalized media, which leverages the authoring methodology with user-generated semantics. The system's vertical integration allows users to audition their personalized media networks in the context of a global system network. A navigation scheme with dynamic GUI shifts the interaction paradigm for content query and sharing. MF adopts a multimodal architecture anticipating emerging use cases and genres. To model diversification of platforms, information processing is robust across multiple technology configurations. Physical and virtual networks are integrated with distributed services and transactions, IoT, and semantic networks representing media content. MF applies spatiotemporal and semantic signal processing to differentiate action responsiveness and information responsiveness. The extension of multimedia information processing into authoring enables generating interactive and impermanent media on computationally enabled devices. The outcome of this integrated approach with presented methodologies demonstrates a paradigmatic shift of the concept of UGC as personalized media network, which is dynamical and evolvable.

In order to analyze the characteristics of propeller exciting force, the hybrid grid is adopted and the numerical prediction of KCS ship model is performed for hull-propeller-rudder system by Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method and volume of fluid (VOF) model. Firstly, the numerical simulation of hydrodynamics for bare hull at oblique state is carried out. The results show that with the increasing of the drift angle, the coefficients of resistance, side force and yaw moment are constantly increasing, and the bigger the drift angle, the worse the overall uniformity of propeller disk. Then, propeller bearing force for hull-propeller-rudder system in oblique flow is calculated. It is found that the propeller thrust and torque fluctuation coefficient peak in drift angle are greater than that in straight line navigation, and the negative drift angle is greater than the positive. The fluctuation peak variation law of coefficient of side force and bending moment are different due to various causes.
