유비 쿼터스 헬스케어용 초음파와 RF 기술을 이용한 무선센서네트워크 기반의 실내 위치 추적 시스템을 구현하고 테스트하였다. 개발된 실내 위치인식 시스템은 헬스케어를 위한 홈네트워크 장치의 하나로서 노인이나 만성질환자의 이동성과 활동성을 측정하는데 주안점을 두어 개발되었다. 천장에 설치된 비컨들은 RF신호를 사용하여 위치 정보를 listener에게 전송하게 되며, listener는 삼각측량법을 사용하여 3개의 비컨들로부터 얻어진 좌표 값을 계산하여 실내에서의 사람이나 물체의 위치 측정뿐만 아니라 환자의 활동성측정이 가능하도록 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 위치에 대한 보안이 가능하도록 수동형식의 위치인식시스템을 구현하고 비용절감을 위해 센서노드 사이의 연결이 무선으로 되도록 ad-hoc 알고리즘을 사용하였다.

Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are getting popular not only as a private usage for the aerial photograph but military usage for the surveillance, reconnaissance and supply missions. For an UAV to successfully achieve these kind of missions, geolocation (localization) must be implied to track an interested target or fly by reference. In this research, we adopted multi-sensor fusion (MSF) algorithm to increase the accuracy of the geolocation and verified the algorithm using two multicopter UAVs. One UAV is equipped with an optical camera, and another UAV is equipped with an optical camera and a laser range finder. Throughout the experiment, we have obtained measurements about a fixed ground target and estimated the target position by a series of coordinate transformations and sequential Kalman filter. The result showed that the MSF has better performance in estimating target location than the case of using single sensor. Moreover, the experimental result implied that multi-sensor geolocation algorithm is able to have further improvements in localization accuracy and feasibility of other complicated applications such as moving target tracking and multiple target tracking.

Recently, correlation filter based trackers have shown excellent tracking performance and computational efficiency. In order to enhance tracking performance in the correlation filter based tracker, search area which is image patch for finding target must include target. In this paper, two methods to discriminatively represent target in the search area are proposed. Firstly, search area location is estimated using pyramidal Lucas-Kanade algorithm. By estimating search area location before filtering, fast motion target can be included in the search area. Secondly, we investigate multi-channel Local Edge Pattern(LEP) which is insensitive to illumination and noise variation. Qualitative and quantitative experiments are performed with eight dataset, which includes ground truth. In comparison with method without search area estimation, our approach retain tracking for the fast motion target. Additionally, the proposed multi-channel LEP improves discriminative performance compare to existing features.

Navigating an unknown environment is a challenging task for a robot, especially when a large number of obstacles exist and the odometry lacks reliability. Pose tracking allows the robot to determine its location relative to its previous location. The ICP (iterative closest point) has been a powerful method for matching two point clouds and determining the transformation matrix between the maps. However, in a situation where odometry is not available and the robot moves far from its original location, the ICP fails to calculate the exact displacement. In this paper, we suggest a method that is able to match two different point clouds taken a long distance apart. Without using any odometry information, it only exploits the features of corner points containing information on the surroundings. The algorithm is fast enough to run in real time.

함포의 사격통제장치 성능은 크게 하드웨어(H/W)적인 오차와 소프트웨어(S/W)적인 오차로 구분할 수 있으며, 이중 S/W 오차에 해당하는 표적의 위치, 속도, 가속도 등을 추정하는 추적필터 오차는 탄도계산장치의 성능에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 함포의 정확한 예상탄착점 형성과 사격시 명중률 향상을 위하여 정확한 미래위치의 표적 상태정보가 필요하다. 표적 추적필터 알고리즘은 Single Singer Model, Fixed Gain 필터 알고리즘, IMM, PBIMM등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 국내 함정에 적용예정인 IMM 추적필터를 설계하였다. IMM 추적필터를 위해 CV모델, Song 모델, CTR모델을 사용하여 동역학 모델을 만들었으며, 추적성능을 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통해 해석해 보았다.

모노펄스 추적 알고리즘은 대국의 송신 신호를 기반으로 대국의 위치를 추정하는 추적 알고리즘이다. 모노펄스 추적 알고리즘에 의한 추정 위치는 안테나의 합 및 차 신호 패턴에 의한 모노펄스 비율 곡선(MR-C; Monopulse Ratio curve)을 기반으로 산출된다. 따라서 MR-C의 선형 구간에 비례하여 높은 정확도의 추정 위치를 산출할 수 있는 범위가 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 능동위상배열안테나가 적용된 추적 안테나 시스템에 있어, 능동위상배열안테나의 빔 형성 기법을 적용하여 MR-C의 선형 구간을 확장하는 방법을 제안하였다. 동일한 안테나 시스템을 기반으로 모의실험을 수행한 결과, 제안된 기법의 적용 유/무에 따라 MR-C의 선형 구간이 약 2배 정도 차이가 남을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a target tracking algorithm for wheeled mobile robots using in various fields. For the stable tracking, we apply a vision system to a mobile robot which can extract targets through image processing algorithms. Furthermore, this paper presents an algorithm to position the mobile robot at the desired location from the target by estimating its relative position and attitude. We show the problem in the tracking method using the Position-Based Visual Servo(PBVS) control, and propose a tracking method, which can achieve the stable tracking performance by combining the PBVS control with Image-Based Visual Servo(IBVS) control. When the target is located around the outskirt of the camera image, the target can disappear from the field of view. Thus the proposed algorithm combines the control inputs with of the hyperbolic form the switching function to solve this problem. Through both simulations and experiments for the mobile robot we have confirmed that the proposed visual servo control method is able to enhance the stability compared to of the method using only either PBVS or IBVS control method.

In this paper, we propose a new object tracking algorithm using deformed template and Level-Set theory, which is robust against background variation, object flexibility and occlusion. The proposed tracking algorithm consists of two steps. The first step is an estimation of object shape and location, on the assumption that the transformation of object can be approximately modeled by the affine transform. The second step is a refinement of the object shape to fit into the real object accurately, by using the potential energy map and the modified Level Set speed function. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can track non-rigid objects with large variation in the backgrounds.

In recent years, much progress has been made in the automation of welding coped with a variety of highly flexible sensors. Among these sensors, only the eddy current sensor can detect the center location of the butt joint whose gap distance is zero. Thus, in this study the eddy current sensor is used to develop a robust and useful joint tracking system. The developed system is tested to qualify the performance of the system and seam tracking algorithm is proposed and two simulation are executed to show the performance of the proposed tracking algorithm.

This paper reposes a novel tracking algerian for efficiency improvement of photovoltaic(PV) system using sensor method PV system of sensor method is exactly impossible to track a sun position when insolation is low or rapidly changed by the clouds and fogs. Also, in this case, tracking device is occurred energy consumption by unnecessary operating. This statement of reason, real power of PV system is not increased than fixed PV system in specified location. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel ticking algorithm considered insolation for efficiency improvement of PV system using sensor method And this paper analyzes the generation volume and proves the validity of proposed algorithm as compared with the conventional PV tracking system using sensor method.
