In this paper we develop an indoor location tracking system and its 3D tracking monitoring viewer, viz., 3D Navigation Viewer (3DNV). We focus on the integration of an indoor location tracking system with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), to facilitate a representation of the user's spatial information in virtual indoor environments that is synchronized with the physical location environment. The developed indoor location tracking system employs beacons as active transmitters, and a listener as a passive receiver. The distance information calculated from the difference speeds of RF and Ultrasonic signals is exploited, to determine the user's physical location. This is essential in supporting third parties like doctors and caregivers in identifying the activities and status of a particular individual via 3DNV. 3DNV serves as a unified user interface for an indoor location tracking system, showing the viewpoint and position of the target in virtual indoor environments. It was implemented using VRML, to provide an actual real time visualization of the target's spatial information.

For many applications particularly in navigation system, a three-dimensional representation improves the usability of information. This paper introduces 3D Graphical User Interface (GUI) of indoor location tracking system, 3D Navigation View. The application provides users a 3D visualization of the indoor environments they are exploring, synchronized with the physical world through spatial information obtained from indoor location tracking system. It adopts widely used Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to construct, represent, distribute and render 3D world of indoor environments over Internet. Java, an all-purpose programming language is integrated to comprehend spatial information received from indoor location tracking system. Both are connected through an interface called External Authoring Interface (EAI) provided by VRML. Via EAI, Java is given the authority to access and manipulate the 3D objects inside the 3D world that facilitates the indication of user's position and viewpoint in the constructed virtual indoor environments periodically.

According to developing Wireless Communication, not only a location based service at the outside but also a location based service at the inside was more increased socially. This paper proposes the efficient algorithm to locate a transfer object in frequent change of indoor environment using indoor location tracking system we develop ourself. Proposing algorithm in this paper can locate a transfer object using the Fingerprint, one of the Location Tracking techniques which are used in general to minimize error data between Location Tracking System and Fingerprint, using this way that corrects location data as KF apply to result data can improve accuracy of a transfer object. At last we are going to compare and analyze existing typical triangulation with proposed Indoor location tracking system to demonstrate algorithm efficiency for proposed Indoor location tracking system.

최근 실내 공간 내에서의 위치 정보를 이용한 공간정보 서비스가 실외공간에서 제공되는 서 비스만큼 공간정보시스템의 중요한 응용분야로 자리 잡고 있다. 실외 공간과 달리, 실내 공간의 위치 정보는 좌표기반이 아닌, 방 번호와 같은 기호를 기반으로 표현된다. 따라서 실내공간에서 이동객체의 위치를 추적하기 위해서는 이동객체의 현재 위치를 이용하여 좌표정보를 예측하는 것이 아니라, 기호적 추론이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 RFID센서를 이용하여 이동객체의 위치를 항상 명시적으로 결정할 수 있는 추적가능 실내 기호공간을 위한 프레임웍을 제안한다. 우선, 실내기호공간과 실내기호공간에서의 위치추적에 대한 개념을 소개하고, 추적 가능한 실내 기호공간을 위한 접근성 그래프를 정의한다. 둘째로, RFID 리더기의 배치방법, 추적 가능한 실내기호공간을 위한 접근성 그래프 생성방법과 이를 이용한 위치 추적방법을 제시한다. 마지막으로, 제시한 방법의 유효성을 보이기 위하여 실험결과를 보인다.

In this paper we present 3-D Navigation View, a three-dimensional visualization of indoor environment which serves as an intuitive and unified user interface for our developed indoor location tracking system via Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) in web environment. The extracted user's spatial information from indoor location tracking system was further processed to facilitate the location indication in virtual 3-D indoor environment based on his location in physical world. External Authoring Interface (EAI) provided by VRML enables the integration of interactive 3-D graphics into web and direct communication with the encapsulated Java applet to update position and viewpoint of user periodically in 3-D indoor environment. As any web browser with VRML viewer plug-in is able to run the platform independent 3-D Navigation View, specialized and expensive hardware or software can be disregarded.

유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 따라 사회적으로 실내 위치 추적 시스템에 대한 관심이 증가되었다. 하지만 기존 실내 위치 추적 시스템은 실내 환경의 빈번한 변화에 능동적으로 대응하지 못하고, 실내 환경의 NLOS 특성으로 인하여 이동 객체의 정확한 위치 측정이 어려운 문제점이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 앞으로 유비쿼터스 시대가 도래함에 따라 다양한 사용자의 요구를 만족시키기 위한 서비스를 제공하는데 필수 요소인 실내 이동 객체의 위치를 효과적으로 파악하고, 이동 객체의 위치 정확도를 향상시킨 환경 적응형 위치 추적 시스템을 제안한다.

This paper is a study to dectect the tracking owing to deterioration of indoor wiring, and to prevent the electrical fire. After analysing the harmonics of waveshapes in load current and tracking current by FFT, a method of identifying the tracking was developed by using neural network. Fluoscent lamp, witch was mostly used in indoor, was chosen as the load used in this study. When the learning number in neural network was more then 30,000 times, an excellent neural net-work which could correctly identify the tracking was established. Therefore, the result of this study can be utilized as a basic material in various measuring instruments, such as an hotline inslation tester, earth tester in vehicles, and tracking fire alarm device, witch can detect the tracking under the condition of hotline.

A new method to deal with GPS indoor positioning by means of time synchronized switching GPS repeater has been developed by authors[1]. But the developed indoor positioning system has problems. Therefore, we proposed a method for indoor positioning using GNSS Repeater-Assisted. To solve the 3-dimensional user's position, the 4 or more retransmission antennas are needed in the previously proposed methods. If a GPS repeater periodically transmits the signal like as pseudollite, the information for assisting an acquisition and tracking can be informed to receiver. Then, the user position can be calculated using the induced weak signal. The advantage of the proposed algorithm is use of only 1 re-transmission antenna because the re-transmitted signal are not used for positioning but used for assisting an acquisition and tracking weak signals induced indoor. We analyze the propose algorithms through the experiment and performed the test of feasibility.

Ventilation of buildings provide occupants with comfort and plays a very informant role in supplying indoor ventilation requirement. Also, natural ventilation is more comfortable than forced ventilation taking account of mental comfort. Especially factors, airflow velocity and direction etc., should be reflected in establishment of comfortable indoor environment because indoor airflow can directly affect comfort of occupants. However, a device which enables indoor air movement to be analyzed has not existed until now. Hence, it has mostly depended on simulation results of fluid analysis but the results often differ far from reality. PST(Particle-Streak-Tracking) System, an alternative to improve this problem, is currently applied to natural ventilation in building, air conditioning, and airflow analysis in the inside of a plane etc. This study closely examine the property and strength and weakness of PST that is first introduced into KICT and then evaluate applicable possibility.

위치기반서비스에서 사용자의 위치를 확인하고 추적하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히 옥내에서 위치기반서비스를 제공하기 위해 많은 연구자들은 무선 근거리통신망 환경에서 사용자의 옥내 위치추적에 대해 연구를 수행해 오고 있다. 한편, GPS를 이용하는 옥외에서의 위치추 적에는 칼만필터(Kalman filter)가 이용되기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 오늘날 널리 보급되어 있는 무선 근거리통신망 환경에서 옥내 위치추적에 적용될 수 있는 확장칼만필터 방법을 제안한다. 기존 연구와 본 제안방법을 비교 실험한 결과, 칼만 필터를 사용함으로써 궤적 측정치의 정확도를 제고할 수 있으며, 나아가서 지도정보를 이용함으로써 정확도를 더욱 제고할 수 있음을 보인다.
