  • This paper presents a novel mobile measurement system with multi antennas which enable mobile measurement as well as fixed measurement with telescope mast. Proposed system installed 4 omni directional antennas for the space diversity process and one directional log periodic antenna for the simultaneous conventional fixed measurement. Whole antenna systems are connected to the custom DTV channel analyzers with Ethernet networks respectively and processed by the main controller to calculate real time average receive levels. To prove the performance of proposed system, the typical receive models are categorized as 3 area types - open area, building area and house area, and then intensive field tests were performed through mobile and fixed measurement phases. With these measurement data, the relationships between mobile and fixed measurement are analyzed, and the concept of compensation factor is proposed to assume the average receive level of signal. The field test is fulfilled as a co-work with public broadcasters and the proposed system is applied to the intensive coverage measurement projects for metropolitan areas by the korean government agencies.

  • A sensor system has been developed to measure the posture(position and orientation) of mobile robots working in industrial environments. The proposed sensor system consists of a CCD camera, retro-reflective landmarks, a strobe unit and an image processing board. The proposed hardware system can be built in economic price compared to commercial vision systems. The system has the capability of measuring the posture of mobile robots within 60 msec when a 386 personal computer is used as the host computer. The experimental results demonstrated a remarkable performance of the proposed sensor system in the posture measurement of mobile robots - the average error in position is less than 3 mm and the average error in orientation is less than 1.5.

  • With the increasing demand for a better FPD image quality, better evaluation metrics and advanced display quality measurement methods are required to meet these needs. There are many measurement methods for evaluating the viewing angle of various display devices, but these methods, which include luminance drop, color shift, and contrast ratio decrease, are imperfect considering that human perception does not completely correlate to them. In this paper, a new method of measuring the perceptual angle of FPDs is proposed, considering human visual perception, which uses the color space of the color appearance model.

There are many measurement methods to evaluate viewing angle of the various different display devices. However, these methods, which include luminance drop, color shift, and contrast ratio decrease, are imperfect considering that human perception does not completely correlate to these methods. In this paper, we propose a new method for measuring perceptual angle of FPDs considering human visual perception, which uses color space of the color appearance model.

  • In this paper, we investigate an improved mobile robot localization method using Kalman filter. The highlight of the paper lies in the formulation of combined Kalman filter and its application to mobile robot experiment. The combined Kalman filter is a kind of extended Kalman filter which has an extra degree of freedom in Kalman filtering recursion. It consists of the standard Kalman filter, i.e., the predictor-corrector and the perturbation estimator which reconstructs unknown dynamics in the state transition equation of mobile robot. The combined Kalman filter (CKF) enables to achieve robust localization performance of mobile robot in spite of heavy perturbation such as wheel slip and doorsill crossover which results in large odometric errors. Intrinsically, it has the property of integrating the innovation in Kalman filtering, i.e., the difference between measurement and predicted measurement and thus it is so much advantageous in compensating uncertainties which has not been reflected in the state transition model of mobile robot. After formulation of the CKF recursion equation, we show how the design parameters can be determined and how much beneficial it is through simulation and experiment for a two-wheeled mobile robot under indoor GPS measurement system composed of four ultrasonic satellites. In addition, we discuss what should be considered and what prerequisites are needed to successfully apply the proposed CKF in mobile robot localization.

  • As the service quality measurement has been developed, various fields of service quality measurement have evolved. Especially the development of the mobile communication service and its status has been watched with keen interest. The growth of mobile communications has not developed alone. It evolved with the growth of the mobile communications company and the device manufacturer. This research investigates the mutual relation sand influence between the service quality and the device quality. This is a distinguished phenomenon within the existing research. Currently in Korea mobile devices can be purchased independently of network provider; however, there are also arrangements whereby the manufacturer supplies devices through only selected service providers. The model of service quality measurement is not a simple fragment model for the service quality anymore. It is required to establish the ultimate model for the service quality to determine if the customer differentiates between the device and service quality. Knowing if a customer differentiates between device and service can aid strong brands when deciding which partners to select for collaborative strategies. The aim of this research is to determine the significant difference between the models of service quality measurement based on differing levels of brand awareness.

  • A method to recognize unpaved road region using a 3D depth measurement system is proposed for mobile robots. For autonomous maneuvering of mobile robots, recognition of obstacles or recognition of road region is the essential task. In this paper, the 3D depth measurement system which is composed of a rotating mirror, a line laser and mono-camera is employed to detect depth, where the laser light is reflected by the mirror and projected to the scene objects whose locations are to be determined. The obtained depth information is converted into an image. Such depth images of the road region represent even and plane while that of off-road region is irregular or textured. Therefore, the problem falls into a texture identification problem. Road region is detected employing a simple spatial differentiation technique to detect the plain textured area. Identification results of the diverse situation of unpaved trail are included in this paper.

  • This paper introduces a methodology of the precise control of a mobile/task robot using visual information captured bythe camera attached at the hand of the task robot. The major problem residing in the precise control of mobile/task robot is providing an accurate and stable base for the task robot through the precise control of mobile robot. On account of uncertainties on the surface, the precise control of mobile robot is not feasible without using external position sensor. In this paper, the methodology for the precise control of mobile robot is proposed, which recognizes the position of mobile robot using the camera attached at the hand of the task robot. While the task robot is approaching to an assembly part, the position of mobile robot is measured using the line correspondence between the image capturesd by the camera and the real assembly part, and using the kinematic transformation from the hand of the task robot to the mobile robot. To verify the solidness of this method, experimental data for the measurement of camera position/orientation and for the precise control of mobile robot using measurement are shown.

  • This paper presents a mobile measurement technique of the ghost-flutter caused in mobile television reception. The ghost-flutter is caused by timing variation of the television horizontal synchronizing pulse due to frequency selective fading in a multipath propagation environment. The ghost-flutter can be detected by measuring the dynamic timing variation of horizontal synchronizing pulse. Especially, in this paper, a technique for measuring horizontal synchronizing timing fluctuations which cause the ghost-flutter is developed, using a Rubidium oscillator as a time standard with high stability.
