Along with the development of communication technology, DTV is gradually evolving into media that provide diverse services and information. This study is related with remote controls that control DTV interfaces and assessed the usability of remote pointing device. To this end, pointing devices using three different interaction methods that have been attempted recently by the industry were selected to conduct empirical experiments. The usability assessment was conducted centering on the existing directional task on straight tracks presented in ISO 9241-Part 9 and the steering tunnel task on curved tracks proposed in this study. The measurement variables included movement time, accuracy, throughput, subjective satisfaction and user behaviors. Based on the results of the assessment, in the case of movements on straight tracks, the GyroPoint method showed better implementing time but lower accuracy compared to the Hall Mouse and OFN methods while in the case of assessment on curved tracks, all of the GyroPoint method, Hall Mouse and OFN methods showed excellent results on both implementing time and accuracy. Besides, differences in efficiency and subjective satisfaction were shown among individual pointing devices. Based on these results, it is considered that individual pointing methods have different advantageous and disadvantageous characteristics. In this study, the usability of remote control pointing methods was assessed and diagnosed reflecting environments where DTVs are used through assessments considering the aspect of straight tracks along with curved tracks. Among others, this study is considered to be meaningful in that it provides assessment criteria and basic data for the development of remote controls suitable for the evolving DTV environments.

This paper is a study on an optical bench satisfying stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements for LEO earth observation satellite. According to shape and stiffness requirements, optical bench type 1 is designed. Because type 1 does not satisfy the thermal pointing error requirement, an optical bench type 2 is suggested. Although the type 2 has better results than type 1, it still does not meet the thermal pointing error requirement. Using the results of optical bench type 1&2, the optical bench type 3 is finally designed, which satisfies both the stiffness and thermal pointing error requirements.

Change detections is carried out under the assumption that pixel boundaries of geometrically corrected time series satellite images cover the same location. However that assumption can be wrong when shifts in the pointing direction of a satellite sensor occurs. Currently, although the influence of misregistration on landcover change detection has been investigated, there has been little research on the influence of pointing direction shifts of a satellite sensor. In this study, a simple method for reducing the effects of pointing direction shifts of a satellite sensor is proposed: the classification of two ASTER images was carried out using the linear spectral mixture analysis, the two classification results were resampled into a geometrically fixed grid, and then the change detection of the two ASTER images was carried out by comparing the resampled classification results of the two images. The proposed method showed high performance in discriminating between changed areas and unchanged areas by removing the pointing direction shifts of a satellite sensor.

Herein, we propose a novel method to create multidirectional and multilevel pointing input using only a hardware keyboard. The relative position vectors among pressed keys are calculated into an input vector. The pointing performance of this method is evaluated based on the ISO 9241-9 recommendations. We find that the performance of the method is sufficient to create moderate pointing input, as the measurement of the throughput is close to that of a touchpad, as measured in past studies also using the ISO 9241-9 recommendations.

Input devices of wearable computer are difficult to use, so a lot of alternative pointing devices have been considered in recent years. In order to resolve this problem, this paper proposed a dynamic gain control method which is able to improve the performance of wearable pointing device and showed an experimental result comparing this method with conventional method. Also the effects of methods were compared in terms of device (wearable and desktop). The result of calculating throughputs(index of performance) by Fitts' law showed that the pointing performance in dynamic gain condition was improved 1.4 times more than normal gain.

In this paper, a new target pointing guidance algorithm is proposed by combining the optimal target pointing solution and a simple time-to-Go estimator. Also investigated are some properties of the guidance algorithm which include a relation to conventional PNG, convergence region and convergence trajectories of error states according to the time-to-go estimator gain. Some guidelines for designing the pointing guidance law are commented based on the convergence properties. A design example in the case of large initial heading errors is presented and its performance is investigated by simulation.

The aiming ability is a key to improve the accuracy performance of the gun pointing system in the ground military vehicle. This paper describes the new detection method of chatter vibration using disturbance acceleration in the pointing structure. In order to analysis the vibration trends of the pointing system occurred while the vehicle driving, acceleration data obtained from vehicle was processed by using data processing algorithm with moving average and Hilbert transform. The specific mode constants of acceleration were obtained from various disturbances. Vehicle velocity, road condition and property of pointing structure were considered as factors which make the change of vibration trend in vehicle dynamics. Finally, back propagation neural networks have been applied to the pattern recognition of the classification of vibration signal in various driving conditions. Results of signal processing were compared with other condition result and analysed.

This paper presents neural network based controller using the feedback error loaming technique for a heavy load pointing system. Also the mathematical model was developed to analyze heavy load pointing system. The control scheme consists of a feedforward neural network controller and a fixed-gain feedback controller. This neural network controller is trained so as to make the output of the feedback controller zero. The proposed controller is compared with the conventional PI controller through simulations, and the results show that the pointing accuracy of the proposed control system are improved against the disturbance induced by vehicle running on the bump course.

The existing mobile antenna networks in the military use have been operated by the manual pointing between two antennas. The work presented here describes the study of ATPC(Automatic Tracking and Pointing Control) system between facing antennas and the related tracking and pointing performances. This system is able to automatically track the maximum RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication) value from the source's RF(Radio Frequency) signal and then control for maintaining the LOS(Line of Sight) between two antennas. The system has three major units; the driving unit consisting of motors, harmonic drives and encoders, the sensor unit with a GPS(Global Positioning System) and AHRS(Attitude and Heading Reference System) and the control unit regulating all the tracking and pointing events. By using PI(Proportional and Integral) controller, this system is able to properly track and point the other antenna under the external disturbance like the wind load. Both the simulation and the experimental works have been successively carried out to prove the performances of the system.
