Many coastal engineering designs utilize empirical formulas containing the Equivalent Deep-water Wave Height (EDWH), which is normally given a priori. However, no studies have explicitly discussed a method for determining the EDWH and the resulting design wave heights (DEWH) under irregular wave conditions. Unfortunately, it has been the case in many design practices that the EDWH is incorrectly estimated by dividing the Shallow-water Wave Height (SWH) at the structural position with its corresponding shoaling coefficient of regular wave. The present study reexamines the relationship between the Shallow-water Wave Height (SWH) at the structural position and its corresponding EDWH. Then, a new procedure is proposed to facilitate the correct estimation of EDWH. In this procedure, the EDWH and DEWH are determined differently according to the wave propagation model used to estimate the SWH. For this, Goda's original method for nonlinear irregular wave deformation is extended to produce values for linear shoaling. Finally, exemplary calculations are performed to assess the possible errors caused by a misuse of the wave height calculation procedure. The relative errors with respect to the correct values could exceed 20%, potentially leading to a significant under-design of coastal or harbor structures in some cases.

This paper proposes a method to estimate vertical interaction force to the end of the surgical instrument by measuring reaction force at the part supporting the trocar. Relation between the force to the trocar and the interaction force is derived using the beam theory. The vertical interaction force is modeled as a function of the reaction force to the trocar and the distance between the drape plate and the trocar. Experimental results show that error is induced by the asymmetric shape of the trocar tip because contact position between the instrument and the trocar tip is changed depending on the direction of the interaction force. The theoretical relation, therefore, is compensated and reduced. Average $L_2$ relative error of the estimated force in the x-direction and the y-direction is 5.81 % and 5.99 %, respectively.

The local power density should be estimated accurately to prevent fuel rod melting. The local power density at the hottest part of a hot fuel rod, which is described by the power peaking factor, is more important information than the local power density at any other position in a reactor core. Therefore, in this work, the power peaking factor, which is defined as the highest local power density to the average power density in a reactor core, is estimated by fuzzy neural networks using numerous measured signals of the reactor coolant system. The fuzzy neural networks are trained using a training data set and are verified with another test data set. They are then applied to the first fuel cycle of Yonggwang nuclear power plant unit 3. The estimation accuracy of the power peaking factor is 0.45% based on the relative $2_{\sigma}$ error by using the fuzzy neural networks without the in-core neutron flux sensors signals input. A value of 0.23% is obtained with the in-core neutron flux sensors signals, which is sufficiently accurate for use in local power density monitoring.

This study presented a model predictive tracking control algorithm of autonomous truck based on object state estimation using extended Kalman filter. To design the model, the 1-layer laser scanner was used to estimate position and velocity of the object using extended Kalman filter. Based on these estimations, the desired linear path for object tracking was computed. The lateral and yaw angle errors were computed using the computed linear path and relative positions of the truck. The computed errors were used in the model predictive control algorithm to compute the optimal steering angle for object tracking. The performance evaluation was conducted on Matlab/Simulink environments using planar truck model and actual point data obtained from laser scanner. The evaluation results showed that the tracking control algorithm developed in this study can track the object reasonably based on the model predictive control algorithm based on the estimated states.

MR(Model Reduction) is presented in order to estimate the frequency of multiple sinusoids from the finite noisy data with the white or colored noises. MR, using the reduced rank models, is designed, appling the approximation of linear system to LP(Linear Prediction). The MR method is analyzed. Monte-carlo simulations are conducted for MR and Lp. The results are compared with in terms of mean, root-mean square and relative bias. MR eliminates effectevely the extremeous and exceptional poles appearing in LP and improves the accuracy of LP. Especially, MR gives promising results in short noisy measurements, low SNR's and colored noises. Power spectral density and angular frequency position are showed by figures, for examples. Finally, the new method is utilized to the communication and biomedical systems estimating the characteristics of the signal and the system identification modelling the dynamic systems from experimental data.

본 논문에서는 2차원 평면상을 주행하는 이동 로봇의 목표물에 대한 상대 위치 및 방향각을 측정하는 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 측정을 위해 사용되는 센서는 스테레오 카메라로, 이동 로봇은 3DOF의 특징을 갖고 있으므로 두 개의 점을 이용하여 상대 위치 및 방향각을 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. 상대 위치를 측정하는 과정에서 외란에 의한 위치 오차가 발생하게 되며, 이에 대한 대책으로 칼만 필터를 적용하여 더욱 강건한 상대 위치 추정을 한다. 마지막으로 MATLAB을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 외란이 존재하는 환경 하에서 제안된 시스템의 성능을 확인한다.

To follow a sound source by a mobile robot, the relative position and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot have been estimated using a microphone array. In this research, the difference among the traveling times of the sound source to each of three microphones has been used to calculate the distance and orientation of the sound source from the mobile robot which carries the microphone array. The cross-correlation between two signals has been applied for detecting the time difference between two signals, which provides reliable and precise value of the time difference comparing to the conventional methods. To generate the tracking direction to the sound source, fuzzy rules are applied and the results are used to control the mobile robot in a real-time. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated through the real experiments comparing to the conventional approaches.

An x-ray vision can be a unique method to monitor and analyze the motion of mechanical parts in real time which are invisible from outside. Our problem is to identify the pose, i.e. the position and orientation of an object from x-ray projection images. It is assumed here that the x-ray imaging conditions that include the relative coordinates of the x-ray source and the image plane are predetermined and the object geometry is known. In this situation, an x-ray image of an object at a given pose can be estimated computationally by using a priori known x-ray projection image model. It is based on the assumption that a pose of an object can be determined uniquely to a given x-ray projection image. Thus, once we have the numerical model of x-ray imaging process, x-ray image of the known object at any pose could be estimated ...

음원 위치 추정은 여러 방면에서 쓰임이 있는 응용 기술이다. 음원의 위치를 추정하기 위한 기본 기법 중에는 시간 지연 추정 기법이 있다. 이 기법에선 음원의 위치를 추정하기 위해서 두 개 또는 그 이상의 수신기에 들어오는 신호간의 상대적 시간 지연을 알아내야 한다. 시간 지연 추정 기법에는 일반화 된 상호 상관(Generalized Cross-Correlation, GCC) 대표적이지만, 정준형 상관 분석(Canonical Correlation Analysis, CCA)을 이용한 방법도 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간 지연 추정용 정준형 상관 분석의 고유벡터의 희소성을 이용하기 위해 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해서 로그-합(log-sum) 정규화를 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 서로 다른 여러 신호 대 잡음비 환경 하에서 비교 모의실험을 하였고, 이 비교 실험을 통하여 얻는 데이터를 통해서 제안한 새 정준형 상관 분석 기반 알고리즘이 이전의 정준형 상관분석 기반 알고리즘이나 기존 GCC보다 더 우수하다는 것을 보인다.

본고는 로보트 팔의 선단에 부착된 카메라에 의하여 촬영된 일련의 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 운동물체의 3차원 자세 (위치와 방향)를 정확히 추정하는 방법을 다룬다. 본고는 이미 발표된 바 있는 연구결과를 확장한 것으로서[1], 2차원 영상의 측정잡음 뿐만아니라[1], 또한 로보트 팔의 죠인트 각도의 랜덤잡음이 함께 존재할 경우 world 좌표계 (또는 로보트 기지좌표계)를 기준으로 한 운동물체의 3차원 자세의 추정에 중점을 둔다. 이를 위하여, 다음 사항에 근거하여 선형 Kalman 필터를 유도한다. (1) 2차원 영상의 측정잡음이 3차원 공간으로 전파되는 것을 분석함으로써, 이에 기인한 물체좌표계의 방향오차를 카메라 좌표계를 기준으로 하여 모델링한다; (2) 죠인트 각도 오차에 의한 로보트 선단좌표계의 방향오차를 (1)의 결과와 결합하여 extended Jacobian matrix를 유도한다; 그리고 (3) 본질적으로 비선형인 물체의 회전운동을 quaternion을 도입함으로써 선형화 한다. 운동 파라메터는 추정된 quaternion으로부터 반복 최소자승 방법을 이용하여 계산된다. 모의실험 결과, 추정오차가 상당히 감소되고, 실제의 운동 파라메터가 참 값으로 정확히 수렴함을 알 수 있다.
