To reduce the secondary damage caused by leakage accidents in plant piping systems, a constant surveillance system is necessary. To ensure leaks are promptly addressed, the surveillance system should be able to detect not only the leak itself, but also the location of the leak. Recently, research to develop new methods has been conducted using cameras to detect leakage and to estimate the location of leakage. However, existing methods solely estimate whether a leak exists or not, or only provide two-dimensional coordinates of the leakage location. In this paper, a method using multiple cameras to detect leakage and estimate the three-dimensional coordinates of the leakage location is presented. Leakage is detected by each camera using MADI(Moving Average Differential Image) and histogram analysis. The two-dimensional leakage location is estimated using the detected leakage area. The three-dimensional leakage location is subsequently estimated based on the two-dimensional leakage location. To achieve this, the coordinates (x, z) for the leakage are calculated for a horizontal section (XZ plane) in the monitoring area. Then, the y-coordinate of leakage is calculated using a vertical section from each camera. The method proposed in this paper could accurately estimate the three-dimensional location of a leak using multiple cameras.

The satellite navigation system was developed for the purpose of calculating the location of local users, starting with the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the 1980s. Advanced countries in the space industry are operating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that covers the entire earth, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, by establishing satellite navigation systems for each country. Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS) such as QZSS and NavIC are also in operation. In the early 2010s, only GPS and GLONASS could calculate location using a single system for location determination. After 2016, the EU and China also completed the establishment of GNSS such as Galileo and BeiDou. As a result, satellite navigation users can benefit from improved availability of GNSS. In addition, before Galileo and BeiDou's Full Operational Capability (FOC) declaration, they used combined navigation algorithms to calculate the user's location by adding another satellite navigation system to the GPS satellites. Recently, it may be possible to calculate a user's location for each navigation system using the resources of a single system. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of single system navigation and combined navigation solutions of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS individual navigation systems using high-performance GNSS receivers.

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.

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.

Without exception, diverse LULU(Locally Unwanted Land Use) facilities have been under the location conflict, especially between the public government units and local residents. In spite of repeated trials-and-errors, literally, the location conflict has shown no sign of improvement over time in Korea. As practical means to tackle these issues, this study focuses on divulging explicit and implicit relationships among key factors derived from the location conflict on the LULU facilities. Here, major research variables cover residents' agreement, residents' perception, compensation expectation, and public opinion. As the location conflict on the LULU facilities could be strengthened or resolved by the dynamic feedback system, it applies basic tools geared toward causal loop diagramming. After repeated experiments, the study highlights the fact that the residents' perception, compensation expectation, and public opinion, individually and collectively, exert significant impact on the residents' agreement ratio.

So many location based service systems, including automobile navigation system logistic management, taxi fleet management, and so on, are being used everywhere. However, these are all outdoors. This paper provides a stepping stone for commercial indoor location based services by developing an integrated system of our indoor positioning and map viewer modules. For the indoor positioning, we propose WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) based EKF (Extended Kalman Filter) which estimates user's current location and tracts user's trace in the sequence of time. Our map viewer renders a map recorded in an Autocad DXF file and provides functions of map manipulation such as zoom-in, zoom-out, and move. We integrate our indoor positioning and map viewer modules and discuss the experimental results of the integrated system.

무선인터넷 기술의 발달과 응용의 확산으로 위치정보를 이용한 위치기반 서비스 형태는 더욱더 다양해 지고 있다. 특히, 언제 어디서나 사람과 사물 같은 객체의 위치를 인식하고 이를 기반으로 유용한 서비스를 제공하는 유비쿼터스 위치기반 서비스(Ubiquitous Location Based Services : u-LBS)가 중요한 서비스로 대두되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 차량 충돌 위치와 관련한 서비스 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 된 시스템에서 사용된 GPS Packet에는 위치에 대한 정보와 차량 충돌에 대한 충돌 세기와 시간, 차량에 대한 NodeID 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 데이터들을 이용하여 하나의 패킷이 만들어 지게 되고 차량 간 충돌이 발생할 경우 차량에서 Gateway로 전송된다. Gateway에서 Server로 전송된 패킷은 충돌 여부를 판단하여 위급상황으로 판단되면, 구급센터로 위치정보와 충돌측정여부에 대하여 알려주게 된다. 또한, 이러한 위급상황에 대해서는 외부에 있는 가족 등의 관련된 사람들에게 무선으로 무선단말기(PDA, 휴대폰)를 통해 알려주게 된다. Server에 들어오게 되는 충돌 정보들은 Database에 저장이 되도록 구성하였다. 아울러, 제안한 u-LBS시스템의 유효성을 검증하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다.

Location awareness is one of the key functions to build an U-city. Recently, many of works for the location-aware systems are emerging to be applied to on-going large-scale apartment complex. For example, when dwellers or cars with active tags are move in the apartment complex, the active tags broadcast their own identifiers periodically and receivers such that routers use this information to calculate the location of the active tags. Since the active tags can actually move between routers and coordinators, it requires a hand-off mechanism. In this paper, we investigate the hand-off problem occurred in location awareness system based on ZigBee active tags. We propose and analyze a new approach for handling the hand-off problem. Through a mathematical analysis, we show that our approach diminishes the quantity of packet transfer than ZigBee's approach.
