Level crossing obstacle detecting system using a laser beam that has been a problem in relation to safety and maintainability failure according to weather conditions. We proposed laser radar level crossing obstacle detecting system as a way to overcome problem, and we developed an algorithm for this. Level crossing obstacle detecting system using a laser radar sensor algorithm is robust to external environment and a shadow zone does not exist. Sensor part of the laser radar level crossing obstacle detecting system of these is made up by the image processing unit and laser radar sensor, it operations by receiving train entering information from the control unit.

Recently, Sensor technologies are emerging to prevent traffic accidents and support safe driving in complex environments where human perception may be limited. The UWS is a technology that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect objects at short distances. While it has the advantage of being simple to use, it also has the disadvantage of having a limited detection distance. The LDWS, on the other hand, is a technology that uses front image processing to detect lane departure and ensure the safety of the driving path. However, it may not be sufficient for determining the driving environment around the vehicle. To overcome these limitations, a system that utilizes FMCW radar is being used. The BSD radar system using FMCW continuously emits signals while driving, and the emitted signals bounce off nearby objects and return to the radar. The key technologies involved in designing the BSD radar system are tracking algorithms for detecting the surrounding situation of the vehicle. This paper presents a tracking algorithm for designing a BSD radar system, while explaining the principles of FMCW radar technology and signal types. Additionally, this paper presents the target tracking procedure and target filter to design an accurate tracking system and performance is verified through simulation.

The detection of oil spills using radar image has been studied extensively. However, most of the proposed techniques have been focused on improving detection accuracy through the advancement of algorithms. In this study, research has been conducted to improve the accuracy of oil spill detection by improving the quality of radar images, which are used as input data to detect oil spills. Thresholding algorithms were used to measure the image improvement both before and after processing. The overall accuracy increased by approximately 16%, the producer accuracy increased by 40%, and the user accuracy increased by 1.5%. The kappa coefficient also increased significantly, from 0.48 to 0.92.

본 논문에서는 X-밴드 대역에서 운영되는 레이다 장비를 이용하여 실제 이동하는 해상 표적을 대상으로 역합성 개구면 레이다(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar: ISAR) 영상 생성 기법들의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 성능 비교에 사용된 ISAR 영상 생성 기법들은 1) 거리 순시 도플러(Range Instantaneous Doppler: RID) 기법, 2) 위상보상(phase adjustment) 수행 후의 거리 도플러(Range Doppler: RD) 기법, 그리고 3) 주요 산란원 기법(Prominent Point Proccessing: PPP) 수행 후의 RD 기법들이 있다. 본 논문에서 수행된 성능 비교 결과는 향후 실제 해상 이동 표적의 ISAR 영상 생성을 위한 기반 기술 확보 및 기본 프레임워크(frame work) 구축을 위한 지표를 제공한다는데 그 의의가 있다.

We present an experimental implementation of the inexpensive microwave security sensor that can detect both static and slowly moving objects in cluttered environment. The prototype consists of a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar sensor, control board or computer and software. The prototype was tested in a cluttered indoor environment. In case of intrusion or change of environment the sensor will give an alarm, determine the location of new object, change in its location and can detect a slowly moving target. To make a low-cost unit we use commercially available automotive radar and own signal processing techniques for object detection and tracking. The intruder detection is based on a comparison between current 'image' in memory and 'no-intrusion' reference image. The main challenge is to develop a reliable technique for detection of a relatively low-magnitude object signals hidden in multipath clutter echo signals. Various experimental measurements and computations have shown the feasibility and performance of the system.

The radar method is becoming one of the major nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for concrete structures. Numerical modeling of electromagnetic wave is needed to analyze radar measurement results and to study the influence of measurement parameters on the radar measurements. Finite difference-time domain (FD-TD) method is used to simulate electromagnetic wave propagation through concrete specimens. Three concrete specimens with a 19.1 mm rebar embedded at 40 mm, 60 mm, and 80 mm depth are modeled in 3-dimension. As results, 2-D image processing scheme of modeling data has been developed and applied to the imaging of steel bars inside concrete.

Recently many studies of Radar systems mounted on ground vehicles for autonomous driving, SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) and collision avoidance have been reported. Since several pixels per an object may be generated in a close-range radar application, a width of an object can be estimated automatically by various signal processing techniques. In this paper, we tried to attempt to develop an algorithm to estimate obstacle width using Radar images. The proposed method consists of 5 steps - 1) background clutter reduction, 2) local peak pixel detection, 3) region growing, 4) contour extraction and 5)width calculation. For the performance validation of our method, we performed the test width estimation using a real data of two cars acquired by commercial radar system - I200 manufactured by Navtech. As a result, we verified that the proposed method can estimate the widths of targets.

The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (IORS) lies between the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries of Korea, Japan, and China. The geographical positioning of the IORS makes it ideal for monitoring ships in the area. In this study, we introduce ship monitoring results by Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Broadband 3G^TM radar, which has been developed for use in small ships using the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technique. AIS and FMCW radar data were collected at IORS from November 23th to 30th, 2013. The acquired FMCW radar data was converted to 2-D binary image format over pre-processing, including the internal and external noise filtering. The ship positions detected by FMCW radar images were passed into a tracking algorithm. We then compared the detection and tracking results from FMCW radar with AIS information and found that they were relatively well matched. Tracking performance is especially good when ships are across from each other. The results also show good monitoring capability for small fishing ships, even those not equipped with AIS or with a dysfunctional AIS.

역합성 개구 레이다(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar:ISAR) 영상은 표적의 2차원 RCS(Radar Cross Section) 분포를 나타낸다. 레이더의 LOS(Line Of Sight) 방향으로 진행하는 표적에 대해 바이스태틱 ISAR는 영상의 수직 해상도를 얻을 수 없는 모노스태틱 ISAR의 약점을 보완할 수 있다. 그러나 바이스태틱 ISAR는 모노스태틱 ISAR 비해 긴 처리 시간과 다양한 산란 메커니즘을 가지고 있기 때문에, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상만을 이용한 표적식별은 비효율적일 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 레이더의 LOS 방향으로 진행하는 표적의 모노스태틱, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상을 이용하여 표적 식별 성능을 분석하고, 두 레이다의 융합을 통한 표적식별 방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 융합을 통한 식별 성능이 모노스태틱, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상만을 이용한 식별 성능보다 더 효율적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
