For more accurate height/depth control of the agricultural implements , the soil surface as a reference position should be measured as accurate as possible. A new measurement system using microwave was developed to detect the true soil surface even under plant and/or vegetation. Two-frequency continuous-wave radar was used as the measurement system. It could estimate the distance to the target by measuring the phase difference between two different frequencies continuous-waves which reflected on the target surface. The system performance was evaluated on the barely field where the average height of barley was 91.5 cm. The experimental results showed that the system performance was not affected by the existence of barely. The maximum measurement errors were 8.91 com and 8.44cm for two different experimental plots.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for estimating the number of people and their locations using multiple IR-UWB radar sensors. Using three IR-UWB radar sensors in the indoor space, the measured signal from the target is processed to remove the clutter using rejection methods. Then, to further remove the clutter and to determine the presence of the human, the time-frequency image representing the micro-Doppler is obtained and classified by a convolutional neural network. Finally, the system finds the number of human objects and estimates each position in a two-dimensional space. In experiments using the measured data, the system successfully estimated the location and number of individuals with a high accuracy ≈ 88.68 %.

This paper describes a automatic video surveillance system(AVSS) with long range and 360$^{\circ}$ coverage that is automatically rotated in an elevation over azimuth mode in response to the TTM(tracked target message) signal of vessels tracked by ARPA(automatic radar plotting aids) radar. This AVSS that is a video security and tracking system supported by ARPA radar, CCTV(closed-circuit television) camera system and other sensors to automatically identify and track, detect the potential dangerous situations such as collision accidents at sea and berthing/deberthing accidents in harbor, can be used in monitoring the illegal fishing vessels in inshore and offshore fishing ground, and in more improving the security and safety of domestic fishing vessels in EEZ(exclusive economic zone) area. The movement of the target vessel chosen by the ARPA radar operator in the AVSS can be automatically tracked by a CCTV camera system interfaced to the ECDIS(electronic chart display and information system) with the special functions such as graphic presentation of CCTV image, camera position, camera azimuth and angle of view on the ENC, automatic and manual controls of pan and tilt angles for CCTV system, and the capability that can replay and record continuously all information of a selected target. The test results showed that the AVSS developed experimentally in this study can be used as an extra navigation aid for the operator on the bridge under the confusing traffic situations, to improve the detection efficiency of small targets in sea clutter, to enhance greatly an operator s ability to identify visually vessels tracked by ARPA radar and to provide a recorded history for reference or evidentiary purposes in EEZ area.

Although the Radar-AWS Rainrate (RAR) calculation system operated by Korea Meteorological Administration estimated precipitation using 2-dimensional composite components of single polarization radars, this system has several limitations in estimating the precipitation accurately. To to overcome limitations of the RAR system, the Korea Meteorological Administration developed and operated the RMQ (Radar-based Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system, the improved version of NMQ (National Mosaic and Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system of NSSL (National Severe Storms Laboratory) for the Korean Peninsula. This study introduced the RMQ system domestically for the first time and verified the precipitation estimation performance of the RMQ system. The RMQ system consists of 4 main parts as the process of handling the single radar data, merging 3D reflectivity, QPE, and displaying result images. The first process (handling of the single radar data) has the pre-process of a radar data (transformation of data format and quality control), the production of a vertical profile of reflectivity and the correction of bright-band, and the conduction of hydrid scan reflectivity. The next process (merger of 3D reflectivity) produces the 3D composite reflectivity field after correcting the quality controlled single radar reflectivity. The QPE process classifies the precipitation types using multi-sensor information and estimates quantitative precipitation using several Z-R relationships which are proper for precipitation types. This process also corrects the precipitation using the AWS position with local gauge correction technique. The last process displays the final results transformed into images in the web-site. This study also estimated the accuracy of the RMQ system with five events in 2012 summer season and compared the results of the RAR (Radar-AWS Rainrate) and RMQ systems. The RMQ system ($2.36mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE on average) is superior to the RAR system ($8.33mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE) and improved by 73.25% in RMSE and 25.56% in correlation coefficient on average. The precipitation composite field images produced by the RMQ system are almost identical to the AWS (Automatic Weather Statioin) images. Therefore, the RMQ system has contributed to improve the accuracy of precipitation estimation using weather radars and operation of the RMQ system in the work field in future enables to cope with the extreme weather conditions actively.

소형 레이더 신호를 정량적으로 분석하여 해상물표의 운동정보를 실시간으로 추출 및 표시하기 위한 radar target extractor(RTX)를 개발하고, 이 장치를 소형 레이더 장치에 부착시켜 소형 연근해 어선에서도 타선의 진운동정보나 충돌회피정보와 같은 각종의 항해정보를 활용토록 하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 RTX는 IBM PC 의 ISA bus를 통해 데이터를 입출력할 수 있도록 설계된 신호처리장치로서, 일반 선박용 레이더에서 출력되는 video signal, trigger, antenna bearing pulse, antenna heading mark를 직접 입력할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 장치는 레이더 펄스신호가 해상에 존재하는 물표로부터 반사되어 수신될 때, 그 물표의 신호정보 및 위치좌표정보를 PC 의 CPU 에 의해 처리하지 않고 RTX 자체에 내장된 전용 DSP를 이용하여 실시간으로 처리하도록 하였다. 이 장치에 서 video 신호는 analog devices 사의 AD9042 (12 bit, 40 MHZ monolithic A/D converter)를 이용하여 digital 신호로 변환되고, 그 화상 신호는 CRT에 PPI 방식으로 표시되었다. 이 때 안테나가 회전하면서 탐지한 레이더 물표의 echo 신호는 echo 신호의 강도가 증가하면서 다른 물표의 위치와 구별되면 하나의 물표로서 판정한다. 이 경우, 표적식별 알고리즘은 물표가 미리 설정한 물표포착영역(target acquiring zone)내에 있고, 해당 물표의 크기와 다른 물표와의 거리등에 대한 데이터가 식별기준을 만족하는가에 대한 처리를 수행하도록 개발되었다. 본 연구는 현재 소형어선에 탑재되고 있는 소형레이더의 성능 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단되고, 또한 소형어선용 저가형 ARPA 시스템의 국산화에 필요한 기반기술을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to set up radar cross section(RCS) reduction factors for a target, the scattering point position of the target should be identified through inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) image analysis. For this purpose, ISAR image focusing is important. Maritime ship is non-linear maneuvering in the sea, however, which blur the ISAR image. To solve this problem, translational and rotational motion compensation are essential to form focused ISAR image. In this paper, hourglass and ISAR image analysis are performed on the collected data in the sea instead of using the prediction software tool, which takes much time and cost to make computer-aided design(CAD) model of the ship.

The main objective of this paper is to present the rain cell size distribution observed during squall line episodes in the Sudano-Sahelian region. The used data were collected during the EPSAT Program [Etude des Precipitation par SATellite (Satellites Study of Precipitation)] which has been developed since 1958, on an experimental area located near Niamey, Niger (2 10′32"E, 13 28′38"N). The data were obtained with a C-band radar and a network composed of approximately 100 raingages over a 10,000 $\textrm{km}^2$. In this work a culling of the squall line episodes was made for the 1992 rainy season. After radar data calibration using the raingage network a number of PPI (Plan Position Indicator) images were generated. Each image was then treated in order to obtain a series of radar reflectivity (Z) maps. To describe the cell distribution, a contouring program was used to analyze the areas with rain rate greater than or equal to the contour threshold (R$\geq$$\tau$). 24700 contours were generated, where each iso-pleth belongs to a predefined threshold. Computing each cell surface and relating its area to an equi-circle (a circle having the same area as the cell), a statistical analysis was made. The results show that the number of rain cells having a given size is an inverse exponential function of the equivalent radius. The average and median equivalent radii ate 1.4 and 0.69 In respectively. Implications of these results for the precipitation estimation using threshold methods are discussed.
