Porous ceramic cups are used for monitoring ion concentration in soil solutions in various time course and depth. A soil solution sampler was constructed in laboratory by inserting pliable perfluoroalkoxy(PFA) tubings into porous cup through holes in PVC rod segment which plugged top opening of the porous cup. The system was installed in drip irrigated soil in a vertical position, and nitrogen movement below the drip basin was monitored. To collect soil solution, vacuum in the cup was applied with a hand vacuum pump. The samples obtained were sufficient enough to run quantitative analyses for a number of chemicals. Nitrogen transformation and movement could be well defined, and the system seemed to be relevant to the other soil solution samplers in monitoring chemical movement in soil. Although this system has general deficiencies found in the other samplers using ceramic cup, it could be easily constructed at a low cost. Since the tubing was pliable, the cups could be installed in horizontal position, and this allows installations of the cups at more precise depth increments and also more precise samplings of soil solution at each depth.

Kinematic global positioning system precise point positioning (GPS PPP) technology is widely used to the several area such as monitoring of crustal movement and precise orbit determination (POD) using the dual-frequency GPS observations. In this study we developed a kinematic PPP technology and applied 3-pass (forward/backward/forward) filter for the stabilization of the initial state of the parameters to be estimated. For verification of results, we obtained GPS data sets from six international GPS reference stations (ALGO, AMC2, BJFS, GRAZ, IENG and TSKB) and processed in daily basis by using the developed software. As a result, the mean position errors by kinematic PPP showed 0.51 cm in the east-west direction, 0.31 cm in the north-south direction and 1.02 cm in the up-down direction. The root mean square values produced from them were 1.59 cm for the east-west component, 1.26 cm for the south-west component and 2.95 cm for the up-down component.

The design and implementation of a personal navigation system including activity monitoring function is given in this paper. The system consists of a 3 dimensional MEMS accelerometer, digital compasses and ZigBee communication. An accelerometer and digital compasses are used to compute the position and activity. The obtained position and activity information is transmitted to a fixed beacon via ZigBee. At the same time, activity information is stored in the personal navigation system to a batch analysis program. The step detection algorithm which is robust to attaching location is proposed. Also two digital compass error compensation algorithms are proposed to find more precise headings. The experiments with a real system show that the activities of users and continuous locations less than 1.5m errors are obtained after 80m walking.

본 논문에서는 GPS 위치 정보를 이용한 파고계측시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 이중주파수 측정치 및 GPS 정밀위성정보를 이용하여 위치를 추정하는 PPP 기반 항법 알고리즘을 사용한다. 이를 이용하여 기준국으로부터 보정정보를 받는 RTK나 DGPS 기반 파고계와 달리 기준국과의 거리에 관계없이 높은 정확도로 위치 추정이 가능하다. 그리고 GPS 단독으로 운용되는 간단한 시스템이므로, 가속도계 기반 파고 계측 시스템처럼 다른 센서를 이용하여 누적되는 위치 오차를 보정할 필요가 없다. 제안한 파고계측시스템을 테스트하기 위하여 경북 울진 죽변항 인근 해역에 제안한 시스템과 기상청에서 활용하는 상용 파고계를 탑재한 부표를 설치하고, 시험 운용하였다. 그리고 부표로부터 전송된 두 가지 파고 데이터를 상호 비교함으로써 제안한 시스템의 성능을 평가하였다.

Precise point positioning (PPP) is increasingly used in several parts such as monitoring of crustal movement and maintaining an international terrestrial reference frame using global positioning system (GPS) measurements. An accuracy of PPP data processing has been increased due to the use of the more precise satellite orbit/clock products. In this study we developed PPP algorithm that utilizes data collected by a GPS receiver. The measurement error modelling including the tropospheric error and the tidal model in data processing was considered to improve the positioning accuracy. The extended Kalman filter has been also employed to estimate the state parameters such as positioning information and float ambiguities. For the verification, we compared our results to other of International GNSS Service analysis center. As a result, the mean errors of the estimated position on the East-West, North-South and Up-Down direction for the five days were 0.9 cm, 0.32 cm, and 1.14 cm in 95% confidence level.

This paper presents an Around View Monitoring (AVM) stop-line detection based longitudinal position correction algorithm for automated driving on urban roads. Poor positioning accuracy of low-cost GPS has many problems for precise path tracking. Therefore, this study aims to improve the longitudinal positioning accuracy of low-cost GPS. The algorithm has three main processes. The first process is a stop-line detection. In this process, the stop-line is detected using Hough Transform from the AVM camera. The second process is a map matching. In the map matching process, to find the corrected vehicle position, the detected line is matched to the stop-line of the HD map using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) method. Third, longitudinal position of low-cost GPS is updated using a corrected vehicle position with Kalman Filter. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the Robot Operating System (ROS) environment and verified on the actual urban road driving data. Compared to low-cost GPS only, Test results show the longitudinal localization performance was improved.

Fault detection and isolation (FDI) algorithms provide fault monitoring methods in GPS measurement to isolate abnormal signals from the GPS satellites or the acquired signal in receiver. In order to monitor the occurred faults, FDI generates test statistics and decides the case that is beyond a designed threshold as a fault. For such problem of fault detection and isolation, this paper presents and evaluates position domain integrity monitoring methods by formulating various pseudorange prediction methods and investigating the resulting test statistics. In particular, precise measurements like carrier phase and Doppler rate are employed under the assumption of fault free carrier signal. The presented position domain algorithm contains the following process; first a common pseudorange prediction formula is defined with the proposed variations in pseudorange differential update. Next, a threshold computation is proposed with the test statistics distribution considering the elevation angle. Then, by examining the test statistics, fault detection and isolation is done for each satellite channel. To verify the performance, simulations using the presented fault detection methods are done for an ideal and real fault case, respectively.

The response characteristics of EHA systems are sensitive to the temperature change of working fluid because the temperature of working fluid causes the variation of system parameters such as effective bulk modulus and viscous friction coefficient. In this paper, a precise position control of EHA system using the adaptive sliding mode control system is suggested. The adapted system parameters such as effective bulk modulus and viscous friction coefficient can be used for monitoring failures in the EHA system which has potential applications in the industrial fields. Not only the accuracy of adapted system parameters but also the improved performance and robustness in a given reference position of the cylinder are verified by computer simulation using AMESim software.

This paper proposes vision sensors and deep learning-based around view monitoring system for ship berthing. Ship berthing to the port requires precise relative position and relative speed information between the mooring facility and the ship. For ships of Handysize or higher, the vesselships must be docked with the help of pilots and tugboats. In the case of ships handling dangerous cargo, tug boats push the ship and dock it in the port, using the distance and velocity information receiving from the berthing aid system (BAS). However, the existing BAS is very expensive and there is a limit on the size of the vessel that can be measured. Also, there is a limitation that it is difficult to measure distance and speed when there are obstacles near the port. This paper proposes a relative distance and speed estimation system that can be used as a ship berthing assist system. The proposed system is verified by comparing the performance with the existing laser-based distance and speed measurement system through the field tests at the actual port.
