For many applications particularly in navigation system, a three-dimensional representation improves the usability of information. This paper introduces 3D Graphical User Interface (GUI) of indoor location tracking system, 3D Navigation View. The application provides users a 3D visualization of the indoor environments they are exploring, synchronized with the physical world through spatial information obtained from indoor location tracking system. It adopts widely used Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to construct, represent, distribute and render 3D world of indoor environments over Internet. Java, an all-purpose programming language is integrated to comprehend spatial information received from indoor location tracking system. Both are connected through an interface called External Authoring Interface (EAI) provided by VRML. Via EAI, Java is given the authority to access and manipulate the 3D objects inside the 3D world that facilitates the indication of user's position and viewpoint in the constructed virtual indoor environments periodically.

Recently, indoor LBS has been attracting much attention because of its promising prospect. One of key technologies for its success is indoor location estimation. A popular one for indoor positioning is to find the location based on the strength of received Wi-Fi signals. Since the Wi-Fi services are currently prevalent, it can perform indoor positioning without any further infrastructure. However, it is found that its accuracy depends heavily on the surrounding radio environment. To alleviate this difficulty, we present a novel indoor position technique employing the geomagnetic characteristics as well as Wi-Fi signals. The geomagnetic characteristic is known to vary according to the location. Therefore, employing the geomagnetic signal in addition to Wi-Fi signals is expected to improve the location estimation accuracy.

In this paper, we propose an efficient friendly forces location data sharing algorithm in a troops using a low bandwidth radio. The future battlefield is a 'Network Centric Warfare' with a concept of identifying the position and power of the enemy and friendly forces and leading the battlefield to victory through proper links at the time of our need. One of the basic elements in the 'Network Centric Warfare' is to share friendly forces location data. The bandwidth and transmission rates of radio used in battalion are low. Nevertheless, we should share our locations data almost in real time for effective fighting in a war situation. This paper describes the efficient method of friendly forces location data sharing based on low bandwidth radio. In particular, the concept of 'network-centered warfare' is reflected in the troop below the battalion to present an integrated and efficient way to shared location data of friendly forces.

This study gives guidelines to pattern designing by supplying various images of the transformed shape of jeans with the location of the waistline and the pants silhouette. For this study, 9 kinds of sample cloths (100% cotton denim) were designed considering the laying measurement of the jeans with the location of the waistline and the pants silhouette. The images of each sample were evaluated after the measurement of the completed samples. Clothing and textiles specialists used a semantic differential scale as the evaluation method of the images. For the statistical analysis of the data, one way Anova and Duncan test were adopted using the SPSS 12.0 program. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The visual image by the location of waistline and the change of the pants silhouette is composed of 3 factors (attraction, fashion and comfort factors) of which the attraction factor is the most important factor. 2. The visual image is positive when the location of the waistline is in the low waist position. It is attractive, fashionable, and comfortable. The visual image is negative when the location of the waistline is in the position of the natural waist. 3. The visual image is attractive when the pants silhouette is a boot-cut and fashionable when the pants silhouette are skinny. The straight-cut is comfortable but the visual image is negative. 4. There is no correlation between visual image by the location of the waistline and the change of the pants silhouette.

Recent studies have shown that there are various systems which can be used to monitor hazardous area in a debris flow location, but lack of methodological research on the exact location where each instrument should be installed has hindered the success of this systems. The objective of this study is to suggest the measurement system for monitoring debris-flow and propose the effective method to determine location of measurement system. Previously studied, from 1991 to 2015, were referred and the applied ratio of every instrument was investigated. The measurement information was divided into 8 categories including rainfall, debris-flow velocity, displacement, fluid pore pressure, ground vibration, image processing, impact force and peak flow depth. The result of this study revealed that the most applied instruments to be rain gauge and geophone for measuring average rainfall and ground vibration respectively. The Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) method was selected to determine installation location of instrument and the weighting factors were estimated through fine content, soil thickness, porosity, shear strength, elastic modulus, hydraulic conductivity and saturation. The soil thickness shows highest weights and the fine content relatively demonstrates lowest weights. The score of each position can be calculated through the weighting factors and the lowest score position can be judged as the weak point. The weak point denotes the easily affecting area and thus, the point is suitable for installing the measurement system. This study suggests a better method for safely managing the debris-flow through a precise location for installing measurement system.

This paper researches location estimating method in CDMA system. Previously proposed positioning algorithms are difficult to estimate accurate position in indoor environments, and possible to limited position. This paper proposes enhanced algorithm using received PN pilot signals from base stations to enhance previous algorithms. For estimating position, we set the threshold value and use over the threshold value in received signals. After selecting signals, we estimate position using TDOA algorithm. And the cases which TDOA algorithm cannot use to estimate position, we use Pattern Matching algorithm. The proposed method system showed the improved performance in estimating parameters and locating positions by computer simulations.

Open-loop position estimation methods are commonly used in mobile robot applications. Their strength lies in the speed and simplicity with which an estimated position is determined. However, these methods can lead to inaccurate or unreliable estimates. Two position estimation methods are developed in this paper, one using a single optical flow sensor and a second using two optical sensors. The first method can accurately estimate position under ideal conditions and also when wheel slip perpendicular to the axis of the wheel occurs. The second method can accurately estimate position even when wheel slip parallel to the axis of the wheel occurs. Location of the sensors is investigated in order to minimize errors caused by inaccurate sensor readings. Finally, a method is implemented and tested using a potential field based navigation scheme. Estimates of position were found to be as accurate as dead-reckoning in ideal conditions and much more accurate in cases where wheel slip occurs.

유비퀴터스 공간컴퓨팅 환경이란 사용자가 언제 어디서든 원하는 지리정보를 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 융복합 IT환경을 말한다. 이 유비퀴터스 공간컴퓨팅 환경에서 객체의 위치는 이질적 공간에서 수시로 변하는 특성을 가진다. 공간의 이질성과 이동성에 대한 유지관리는 지리정보 서비스공급자들에게 많은 부담으로 존재한다. 이에 대한 해결을 위해, 본 연구는 물리적 위치변화에 독립적인 논리적 위치참조체계(이후, 'u-Position' 체계)를 제안한다. u-Position 체계는 IRI형태의 명명 체계와 이를 해석하기 위한 인터페이스들로 구성된다. 인터넷 환경에서 u-Position의 서비스 구조를 보여준 후, 사용 예를 기술하겠다. u-Position은 feature가 여러 공간에서 다른 좌표체계에 의해 다중 표현 되더라도, 이 feature를 인식하는 유일 식별자로서 변하지 않는다. 그러므로 공간의 이질성과 위치 이동성이 존재하는 유비퀴터스 공간컴퓨팅 환경이라 하더라도 객체의 위치투명성(location transparency)과 공간의 연결성(seamlessness)을 보장해 줄 수 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This paper presents an improved approach for compensating rotor position signal displacement in brushless DC (BLDC) motors with misaligned hall-effect sensors. Typically, the hall-effect sensors in BLDC motors are located in each phase and positioned exactly 120 electrical degrees apart. However, limitations in mechanical tolerances make it difficult to place hall-effect sensors at the correct location. In this paper, a position error compensator to counteract the hall-effect sensor positioning error is proposed. The proposed position error compensator uses least squares error analysis to adjust the relative position error and back-EMF information to reduce the absolute offset error. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through several experiments.

감시정찰용 영상장비는 표적의 형상을 실시간으로 관측하거나, 표적의 위치를 정밀하게 측정하여 신뢰성 있는 위치정보를 제공하는 장비로서 정보 지식 기반의 현대 무기체계에서 필수적인 장비로 발전하고 있다. 운용 방식도 고정형, 차량형, 복합형 등으로 운용되고 있고, 또한 운용 개념에 따라 다양한 센서들이 여러 형태의 기구 구조로 제작되어 장/탈착이 용이한 분리형 일체형 기구 구조로 형상화된 통합형 형태로 제작되고 있다. 통합형 구조에 사용되는 다양한 센서들의 핵심부품 들은 자성을 띠고 있기 때문에 위치 측정에 사용되는 디지털 나침반에 영향을 준다. 따라서 정확한 기준점 산출에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 물리적 자성의 영향을 줄이기 위해 차폐제 사용이 제안되었지만, 선호도가 높은 통합형 구조에서는 장비의 무게, 휴대성 때문에 차폐제의 활용이 제약을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 통합형 구조에서 디지털 나침반을 사용할 경우의 정확한 위치측정 알고리즘에 관하여 연구하였다. 구체적으로, 부품의 장착 위치에 따른 선행 모델링을 통해 차폐제를 사용하지 않은 경우의 사례에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 시스템이 PAN & Tilt와 같이 이용된다는 점에도 착안하여, 수동으로 수행하는 기존의 정치 방식을 자동으로 수행할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 결과적으로 기존의 방위각 중심의 6지점 정치를 방위각과 고각에 따라 12지점을 측정함으로써 측정 범위는 넓히고, 측정시간은 줄이고, 운용자가 측정 중 발생 할 수 있는 영향성을 최소화 할 수 있는 기법임을 확인하였다.
