  • Currently, NGII(National Geographic Information Institute) provides VRS(Virtual Reference System) service using 44 CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Stations). Since the VRS provides high-precision coordinate in a short time, the users and applications are expected to be rapidly increasing. The accuracy analysis on the VRS service, however, was not sufficiently performed yet. Therefore, in this study, the VRS data is acquired from various circumstances and its accuracy is analyzed. According to analysis, it was concluded that the VRS could be applied to public control point survey. Furthermore, it was found that the PQ(Position Quality) which represents variance of estimated coordinates rather than GDOP(Geometric Dilution of Precision) is more relevant as a factor to determine the accuracy of coordinates. Based on the analysis of data from four manufacturers (TRIMBLE, MAGELLAN, LECIA, TOPCON), it was confirmed that the standard deviations better than 3cm. Therefore, VRS Survey apply to public control point survey.

  • To provide more accurate and reliable positioning and timing services to Korean nationwide users, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Korea is implementing Korean NDGPS (Nationwide DGPS), which is operational partly. And it also has a plan to construct WADGPS (Wide Area Differential GPS) system using sites and equipments of the NDGPS reference stations. For that, Seoul National University GNSS Laboratory is implementing and testing prototypes of WRS (Wide-area Reference Station) and WMS (Wide-area Master Station). Until now, because there are not enough installed WRSs to be used for computing wide area correction information, we cannot test algorithms of WMS with the data processed actually in WRSs. Therefore to evaluate the performance of the algorithms, we made a MATLAB program which can process RINEX (Receiver INdependent Exchange) format data with WADGPS algorithm. Using that program which consists of WRS, WMS and USER modules, we processed the data collected at NDGPS reference stations, which are saved in RINEX format. In WRS module, we eliminate the atmospheric delay error from the pseudorange measurement, smooth the measurement by hatch filter and calculate pseudorange corrections for each satellite. WMS module collects the processed data from each reference stations to generate the wide area correction information including estimated satellite ephemeris errors, ionospheric delays at each grid point, UDRE (User Differential Range Error), GIVE (Grid Ionosphere Vertical Error) and so on. In USER part, we use the measurements of reference stations as those of users and estimate the corrected users' positions and protection levels (HPL, VPL). With the results of estimation, we analyzed the performance of the algorithms. We assured the estimated UDRE /GIVE values and the protection levels bound the corresponding errors effectively. In this research, we can expect the possible performance of WADGPS in Korea, and the developed modules will be useful to implementation and improvement of the algorithms.

  • In this paper, a real time on-board orbit determination method using the extended kalman filter is suggested and its performance is analyzed in the environment of the orbit. Considering the limited on-board resources, the $J_2$ orbit propagate model and the GPS navigation solution are used for on-board orbit determination. The analysis result of the on-board orbit determination method implemented in DubaiSat-2 showed that position and velocity error are improved from 70.26 m to 26.25 m and from 3.6 m/s to 0.044 m/s, respectively when abnormal excursion errors is removed in the GPS navigation solution.

  • Recently, one of the most outstanding technological characteristics of aerial survey is an application of Direct Georeferencing, which is based on the integration of main sensing sensors such as aerial camera or Lidar with positioning sensors GPS and IMU. In addition, a variety of digital aerial mapping cameras is developed and supplied with the verification of their technical superiority and applicability. In accordance with this requirement, the development of a multi-looking aerial photographing system is just making 3-D information acquisition and texture mapping possible for the dead areas arising from building side and high terrain variation where the use of traditional phptogrammetry is not valid. However, the development of a multi-looking camera integrating different sensors and multi-camera array causes some problems to conduct time synchronization among sensors and their geometric and radiometric calibration. The establishment of a test field for aerial sensor calibration is absolutely necessary to solve this problem. Therefore, this paper describes investigations for photogrammetric Test Field of foreign countries and suggest an establishment scheme for domestic test field.

  • Purpose: In the age of X-ray computed tomography (CT) and digital volume tomography (DVT), with their outstanding post-processing capabilities, indications for planar radiography for the study of the dentition of ancient Egyptian mummies may easily be overlooked. In this article, the advantages and limitations of different approaches and projections are discussed for planar oral and maxillofacial radiography using portable digital X-ray equipment during archaeological excavations. Furthermore, recommendations are provided regarding projections and sample positioning in this context. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 specimens, including 19 skeletonized mandibles, 14 skeletonized skulls, 18 separate mummified heads, and 4 partially preserved mummies were imaged using portable digital X-ray equipment in the course of archaeological excavations led by the University of Basel in the Valley of the Kings between 2009 and 2012. Images were evaluated by 2 authors with regard to the visibility of diagnostically relevant dental structures using a 4-point grading system(Likert scale). Results: Overall, the visibility of diagnostically relevant dental structures was rated highest by both authors on X-ray images acquired using a dental detector. The tube-shift technique in the lateral projections of mandibular dentition achieved the second-best rating, and lateral projections achieved the third-best rating. Conclusion: Conventional planar digital X-ray imaging, due to its ubiquity, remains an excellent method-and often the only practicable one-for examining the skulls and teeth of ancient Egyptian mummies under field conditions. Radiographic images of excellent diagnostic quality can be obtained, if an appropriate methodology regarding the selected projections and sample placement is followed.

  • The validity of the Kinesiegraph (MHG-5R) output was studied using a non-ferromagnetic positioning device within working range of a 3 cm wide by 4 cm deep by 5 cm high three dimensional lattice. To determine how well observed values of the M K G outputs may predict case values of actual measurements, relationships between those values were tested by viewing scatter plots and correlation between observed values and actual values. In order to devise some form of served values of the M k G outputs (volts), statistical regression analysis was performed. The statistical analysis showed that observed values and actual values were strongly correlated. However, high correlation does not necessarily mean perfect predictability of given linear models. The formulated models were not able to predict all of acutal values this is partly 엳 새the discreteness of dependent variables (actual values) and also is because of independent nature of observed values. In conclusion, unless the Kinesiograph is suitably modified, the inherent nonlinearity characteristic of the system output limits its application to the measurement of a limited range of jaw movements.

  • The possibility of expanding the linear range of the Kinesiograph was studied using a nonferromagnetic mechanical positioning device. The magnet was moved in linear steps of 5 mm through three planes parallel to the frame work carrying the sensors within working range of a 3 cm wide by 4 cm deep by 5 cm high three dimensional lattice and a matrix of 693 data points was achieved. For each data point, the three Kinesiograph outputs were associated with the values of actual position. Once three coordinates of observed values were known, actual values could be determined. A computer program was specially written in Fortran to deal with this work. Because each dat point was 5 mm apart from each other, there would be 480 cubes with 8 data points Further refinement of the system is possible using a smaller interval between each data point. In conclusion, a theoretical model was presented which, by means of computer support, would allow the absolute measurement of jaw position over the entire range of functional jaw movements.

  • In this paper, two ports feeding a microstrip patch antenna using a quadrature hybrid circuit was proposed to enhance the bandwidth for the global positioning system(GPS). The square patch was designed, and the probe feeding was applied. The quadrature hybrid chip circuit for two-port feeding was designed, and output ports that have a 90-degree phase difference feed to the patch antenna. The designed patch and quadrature hybrid circuit were implemented on an FR4 board, and were combined. The measurement of the bandwidth within a voltage standing wave ratio(VSWR) of 2: 1 and axial ratio(AR) in 3dB were 29 %BW(1,230~1,700 MHz) and 15.87 %BW(1,400~1,650 MHz), respectively. The peak gain at the GPS center frequency was measured at 2.75 dBi in an anechoic chamber.

  • The category killer that has been rapidly growing mainly in advanced countries since early 1990's, is a mew distribution model which aims for obtaining market controlling power by surpassing competing businesses in a specific area of products. The domestic situation of category killers is very different from that of advanced ones abroad since it has just been introduced into the Korean market. At the moment, there are only 10 or so companies operating in the market : Geopyung's , Taeheng's , Midopa's , of Sinsegye Department store, adn of Yerim International. The purpose of this study is to examine problems of domestic companies in the present market by analysing the operation status of category killers in domestic markets as well as foreign ones, and to suggest a counter-strategy of category killers for the distribution environment of the 21st century to improve the competitiveness of Korean distribution industry. The competitiveness of category killers lies above all in products lines. Category killers are equipped with the greatest number of products lines among those of competing businesses due to maximized product selections in an limited range. Another source of competitiveness may be found in balanced strategy positioning. That is to say, category killers are in a position where they can adjust policies towards any of the three purposes while aiming at them altogether : prices of discount stores, products range of specialty stores, and customer service level of department stores. It is also necessary for efficient store operation to use information technology such as electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic pose system(EPOS) and electronic funds transfer (EFTPOS). As for the cost structure, category killers can gain an advantage over other business since operating cost of various sections can be saved. There are, however, certain risks that category killers with strong competitiveness may influence on other businesses a great deal and even facilitate their decline. Yet it seems that the growth of category killers will be more viciously restrained by continuous challenges from other businesses. The distribution industry is supposed to develop through such competition and restraint.
