Purpose: Automated guidance systems (AGSs) for mobile farm machinery have several advantages over manual operation in the crop production industry. Many researchers and companies have tried to develop such a system. However, it is not easy to evaluate the performance of an AGS because there is no established device used to evaluate it that complies with the ISO 12188 standard. The objective of this study was to develop a tracking sensor system using five laser distance measurement sensors. Methods: One sensor-for long-range distance measurement-was used to measure travel distance and velocity. The other four sensors-for mid-range distance measurement-were used to measure lateral deviation. Stationary, manual driving, and A-B line tests were conducted, and the results were compared with the real-time kinematic differential global positioning system (RTK-DGPS) signal used by the AGS. Results: For the stationary test, the average error of the tracking sensor system was 1.99 mm, and the average error of the RTK-DGPS was 15.19 mm. For the two types of driving tests, the data trends were similar. A comparison of the changes in lateral deviation showed that the data stability of the developed tracking system was better. Conclusions: Although the tracking system was not capable of measuring long travel distances under strong sunlight illumination because of the long-range sensor's limitations, this dilemma could be overcome using a higher-performance sensor.

Tracer experiments were performed 4 times in December 1992 on the relatively flat terrain and nearby building area adjacent to the Taedok Science Town in Korea. Each experiment was continued for relatively short period of 1 or 2 hours with intermittent release of SF6 up to 2.07g/s at 10m height. Movement of tracer plume was tracked by a continuous tracer analyzer installed on an air monitoring van. Simulation with INPUFF was carried out to analyze and predict experiments. Measured profiles of tracer plume were narrow and sharp while predicted profiles by INPUFF were broad and slowly varied. Tracer plumes were detected at a short distance of 0.5 to 2.2 km mainly due to intermittent release and high value of lower detectable limit. Various experimental conditions were tested by INPUFF simulation in order to find desirable conditions. Higher wind speed and less variable wind direction could yield longer distance of plume tracking only when the lower detectable limit was sufficiently low. Distance of plume tracking was long and did not much depend on the lower detectable limit in stable atmospheric conditions.

스마트폰을 이용한 실내 위치 추적 기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 스마트폰의 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정하여 사용자의 이동 경로를 지도에 표시하여야 한다. 스마트폰에 탑재 되어있는 센서를 이용한 위치 추적 기술은 오래 전부터 사용 되어 왔으나, 센서만 이용하여 사용자의 이동 거리를 측정하기에는 정확하지 못하다. 따라서 사용자가 스마트폰을 일정한 자세로 들고 이동할 때, 이동 거리를 정확하게 측정할 수 있는 적절한 알고리즘을 연구 개발해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 피라미드 기반 광류 추정 방법에서 스마트폰의 화면을 제한하여 사용자의 발모양을 제거함으로써 이동거리 추정 오차를 줄이기 위한 방법을 제안하고, 실험으로 그 성능을 검증하였다.

The size of a display is large, The form becoming various of that do not apply to previous methods of gaze tracking and if setup gaze-track-camera above display, can solve the problem of size or height of display. However, This method can not use of infrared illumination information of reflected cornea using previous methods. In this paper, Robust pupil detecting method for eye's occlusion, corner point of inner eye and center of pupil, and using the face pose information proposes a method for calculating the simply position of the gaze. In the proposed method, capture the frame for gaze tracking that according to position of person transform camera mode of wide or narrow angle. If detect the face exist in field of view(FOV) in wide mode of camera, transform narrow mode of camera calculating position of face. The frame captured in narrow mode of camera include gaze direction information of person in long distance. The method for calculating the gaze direction consist of face pose estimation and gaze direction calculating step. Face pose estimation is estimated by mapping between feature point of detected face and 3D model. To calculate gaze direction the first, perform ellipse detect using splitting from iris edge information of pupil and if occlusion of pupil, estimate position of pupil with deformable template. Then using center of pupil and corner point of inner eye, face pose information calculate gaze position at display. In the experiment, proposed gaze tracking algorithm in this paper solve the constraints that form of a display, to calculate effectively gaze direction of person in the long distance using single camera, demonstrate in experiments by distance.

본 논문에서는 무인자율주행자동차를 레이싱 경기에 운용하기 위해 차량의 전면유리 중앙에 설치된 단안카메라를 사용하여 원거리에 있는 차량을 인식하고 추적하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 차량은 하르(Haar) 특징을 사용하여 탐지하고, 차량바닥에 있는 그림자를 검출하여 차량의 크기와 위치를 판단한다. 인식된 차량의 주변을 ROI(: Region Of Interest)로 설정하여 다음 프레임들에서는 ROI 내부의 차량 그림자를 찾아 추적한다. 이를 통하여 차량의 위치, 상대속도와 이동방향을 예측한다. 실험결과는 100m이상의 거리에서 90%이상의 인식율로 차량을 인식하였다.

This paper describes a omni-directionally speaker tracking system for mobile robot interface in real environment. Its purpose is to detect a robust 360-degree sound source and to recognize voice command at a long distance(60-300cm). We consider spatial features, the relation of position and interaural time differences, and realize speaker tracking system using fuzzy inference process based on inference rules generated by its spatial features.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비전에서 시차를 이용하여 근거리뿐만 아니라 원거리의 장애 물체에 대해서도 신뢰성 있는 거리를 추정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 시차를 이용한 거리 측정에서 양자화 오차는 원거리에서의 거리 정확도를 떨어뜨리게 되므로, 이를 최소화하기 위해 부화소 보간법(sub-pixel interpolation)을 이용하여 시차 정확도를 향상시키고 거리 정확도 및 경로 추적의 최적화를 위해서 향상된 적응형 퍼지 칼만 필터(EAFSTKF : Enhanced Adaptive Fuzzy Strong Tracking Kalman Filter)를 사용한다. 제안한 방법은 차량과 같이 다양한 동적인 움직임에 의한 비선형성에 대하여 기존 칼만 필터에서 발생되는 발산 문제(divergence problem)를 해결할 수 있고, 거리의 정확도 및 신뢰도도 높일 수 있다. 몬테카를로(Monte Carlo) 방법을 이용한 모의실험 결과 제안한 방법은 기존 방법들과 거리 오차율(RMSER : Root Mean Square Error Rate)을 비교하였을 때, strong tracking Kalman filter(STKF)에 비하여 성능이 약 13.5%정도 향상되었음을 보여준다.

In case of image observation equipments, CCTV for short distance visual field is usually installed and operated mostly as the means of crime-prevention. However, the extensive demand for monitoring problems in case of the increase in intelligent crimes and disasters has led to the necessity of the development of long-distance observation equipments embedded with Night View functions. In case of the Night View equipments, the relevant market is set up to be focused mostly on Thermal Observation Device(hereinafter, TOD), but some shortcomings such as the limitation of image visibility and excessive maintenance cost, etc. have actually caused the necessity of new long distance Night View equipment. Moreover there might follow lots of difficulties in long-distance visualization in the event that irregular reflection is generated by minute particles in the atmosphere such as fog, smog, and dust, etc. These factors are motivate the work presented in this study. Our study is aimed at the realization of Pulsed Laser Illuminator and newly proposed Range-Gated image acquisition technology. And also the implementation of Tracker for continuous trace of the objects of interest from the obtained sequence images.

최근 교통감시시스템은 실시간의 영상검지시스템(VIPS)을 가장 선호하고 있으며, 그 수요는 매년 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 영상검지시스템은 공간기반의 검지알고리즘을 사용하고 있으며, 교통량, 속도, 점유율 등의 교통정보를 제공하고 있다. 현재 전 세계적으로 이미 상용화되어 있는 대부분의 영상검지시스템들은 Tripwire기반의 검지영역 내 차량의 존재유무를 판단하여 교통정보를 수집하는 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있으나, 개별차량에 대한 걸지는 불가능한 한계를 갖고 있다. 반면 개벽차량의 추적시스템은 보다 구체적인 공간적 교통정보를 제공할 수 있어 사고검지, 급차선 변경 등 교통정보를 보다 다양화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 추적길이가 불과 100미터이내이면, 그 이상 관측하기 위해서는 운영자가 카메라를 줌인을 하여 영상을 확대하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 차량 추적의 효과를 높이기 위해서 기존의 100미터 이내 추적거리를 여러 대의 CCTV시스템을 이용하더라도 200미터이상으로 확대함으로써 사고 또는 비정상적 차량흐름을 검지할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.
